Looking for some advice with the Burro’s tail. Got the leaves in the fall to propagate, and this is how much growth I have several months later. I had tried keeping a couple of them in water to stimulate more root growth a couple months ago, but that did nothing (other than kill one) and now have repotted them into gravel about a week ago. Hoping this will help but if anyone has other suggestions please let me know, I really want these plants to work 😭

Those look like some of the ones I just laid on some succulent soil. Nothing yet but also hoping they do something 😬

I’ve read (and noticed) they can be susceptible to root rot and pests if they’re kept too moist, which is why I switched to the gravel. I think it may be a slower growing plant so stay patient, and I hope you have better luck!

Looks good. A grow light 4 inches above would stimulate faster more robust growth.

I’ll try moving them closer to the bulbs then, thank you!

Mine have no roots yet…. I started propagating them in March 🤣

But there’s tons of growth, lots of little pups! Even in my bigger plant the roots are very small and thin

UPDATE: since placing them in the gravel most of them have started to grow new roots and some leaves! I also tried moving them farther away from the light, the leaves seem to be really susceptible to burning
