A leaf fell off of my echeveria and started growing a new little baby. Does anyone know if I can plant this? If I can, when would I plant it and how. Thanks :)

I have a Terracotta saucer with some dirt in it- I just lay my broken leaves and pieces on there and basically forget about it! The “parent” leaf that the baby is growing on will provide the water it needs to grow, and once that parent leaf is totally dried up, you can remove it and your baby will be ready to go 😌
