Can anyone explain how to properly propagate a succulent? I wanna take some cuttings of my little pinwheel because I’m worried i might not have treated its issue fast enough, but I don’t know how I’d go about making sure it has roots and stuff

You take the leaves off the mother plant with out ripping let them sit for 3 days and then you can poke a little hole trough the top and hang with string or place on soil you can also do water propagation here are mine there are new ones and some that are growing babies I also have some on soil but for me this method works better
