# i haven’t owned succulents or done any propagation in 5 years but i’m…

i haven’t owned succulents or done any propagation in 5 years but i’m holding out hope for these newer cuttings 🤞💚

any tips for this method would be appreciated greatly, as it has been awhile 😮‍💨

i plan to mist again once the soil is fully dry. it sits in my west-facing windowsill from noon until sunset, otherwise on my shelf. is my routine raising red flags or needing improvement?

they’ll root even if you don’t mist! they’re very good at it 😁 these are from the windowsill where my coppertone lives
