I grew this guy from a leaf. Does anyone know what kind of succulent it is? Obviously it’s not very big yet but it’s growing fast now!

There are a few species that start out like this. The most common would be a crassula

Interesting ok! I guess I’ll keep waiting to find out but it’s nice to have an idea 😊 thank you!

Someone may have a better idea. I just started into cactus and succs so only have a dozen or so.

He’s so cute!🥹 I’m trying to grow a jade from 2 leaves right now and this makes me hopeful!

If you have any tips for growing from leaves I’d highly appreciate! 🫶🏻 This is my first time trying 🤗

#### Jess replied on 2024-11-17

I literally just pick them, set them on soil and forget about them! The mother leaf gives it everything they need until it dies off. I think it’s SO fascinating 🥰

Here’s my pothos propagation graveyard that turned into my successful succulent propagation station! Haha

It looks very similar to my little jade baby!  
The white dots are the plant expelling extra minerals that are in my tap water.

I didn’t know it did that with the water! That’s awesome!
