Im propagating succulents and this is my progress since may 25 (3 months). Any reason why they are growing so slow? I have no idea how often and how I’m supposed to water them, I’ve gotten unclear answers from the internet. The first month or so I sprayed them 2-3 a week. Then I didn’t water them for 3 weeks( was away) and now I’ve been spraying them once a week. Besides fertilizer, what am I doing wrong? Should I be doing more than just spraying ?

It’s under a window facing south

As the new plant grows the old leaf will die off! You may be overwatering them a bit I’m not 100% sure but I’ve done a few and they will grow in the floor with no care at all, succulents really don’t need a lot of care or water at all! And are honestly just incredibly slow growers unfortunately haha I hope this helps again not 100% sure just my experience!

I personally don’t water my succulent propagations at all. They get all nutrients from the mother leaf until it dies off.

Water every 3 days using alot at a time usually 3 sprays from a spray bottle feed it veggies and patience is key to plants
