# Seeking a few tips, i have a few succulents that were getting rot so…

Seeking a few tips, i have a few succulents that were getting rot so i cut and let them callous over to propagate them; however it’s been 2 weeks now and they’re not growing roots and they’re instead shriveling from the top toward the callous. I’ve seen water propagating and also plate propagating, i’m currently plate propagating but i’m getting no results.

Specifically i have a stalk of elephant bush and a few bear paws of varying sizes
