Two little “toes” fell off my ganzhou this morning. Can I propagate them or are they just dead?

i’m not sure what that plant is but if it’s like an echeveria, they should root when just placed on top of soil:)

He’s a hybrid. Pachyphytum + Sedum. I’ll give it a try. Can’t hurt.

Won’t work, they are rotten already. For propagation you have to use absolutely healthy fresh leaves. Also check your plant make sure the stem is not rotting too😬😉

Those don’t look rotten to me. Plant them and find out.

I had already stuck them in some soil. Now I’m just waiting.

They should produce roots pretty quickly.
