This is my first chance to prop a succulent, and it looks like it’s not turning out very well…😬! What am I doing wrong? I spritz it every other day, because the soil measures dry. What else should I know about propping these little guys? TIA!
Tbh when I prop succulents I just leave the leafs out on the windowsill. I don’t put them in soil or water them or anything, just kinda let them vibe until they get enough roots to transfer to soil. 100% success rate
4개 좋아요 Really… you mean to tell me you put a succulent leaf on your windowsill, and they will grow roots? You’ve gotta tell me a bit more about this vibe…🤪; I’m in a bit of disbelief! Could you give me some specifics like, are the leaves laying in the sun, how long does this take, how big the roots are before their “done”? This seems like some kind of weirdo magic, but if you will give me these specifics, I’ll do what you say… anything for my little props! TIA!

I do the same almost 100% success they get all the water they need from the mother leaf and misting them your self and a lot can rot them
3개 좋아요 You just set them where they get some bright or direct sun and they take a couple weeks to root, then they have a baby. When the mother leaf is shriveled up you can remove and put the pup in soil. It’s really easy don’t over think it
2개 좋아요 There’s truly nothing more to it! Jillian has it exactly right - they get all their water from the mother leaf. Follow her directions in her second comment and you got it!

Too much water is rotting them. Follow the previous comments and place the leaves on top of soil and they will sprout roots that find their way into the soil. They are little propagation kits that thrive with neglect. Many plant lovers kill them with perceived kindness by overwatering and excess misting.😁
