My succulent is dead that has one thriving leaf. Should I takeoff that leaf and leave it in the soil? Or is there something else I could do or should I just put it in my graveyard?

It may very well be too late for all of it, but if you pull the leaf off gently and separate it fully from the plant, it might produce another plant. Even in perfect circumstances, not every succulent leaf will propagate, but it’s worth trying before throwing the whole thing away.😊
