# My plants arrived from Amazon today. (See earlier post). I was…

_Posted by MummaDeb on 2024-09-06_

My plants arrived from Amazon today. (See earlier post). I was totally pleased. They were packed amazingly well. There were doubles but I still ended up with 10 separate kinds. I can either put up two together or give one to a friend. They were all super healthy and the only ones that lost leaves were the burro tails and they always do. I saved them and I want to propagate them but I'm not sure how. Can anyone help?

Just put them on soil you use for succulents and ignore them is what people say lol. I drip water around them every once in a while. Not on leaves. They don’t really need that much water because they are getting water out of leaf. It will eventually dry up after it grows roots or a new plant (slowly). Join the propagation group on this app people have pics and stuff if you scroll down a ways. It’s pretty easy to get them to grow, it just takes patience. Well i should say…I don’t specifically have experience with Burros tail but with the others it’s easy and I’m assuming it’s the same..? Could be wrong. I’d just throw them on soil and wait. Good luck!!

I just put some peat moss in a plastic container and put it under a lamp.

Burros tail. Just put them on the soil of some of your succulents and see which propagate. I don’t out burros tail in direct light and if you want mist them every so often until they root. Burros tail are extremely easy.
