Leave them there 🤗 They’ll use the moisture from the prop leaf to grow a baby! I leave mine just like that until the prop leaf completely shrivels and dries up. Then you can detach your baby and plant it

Yay ! I have one that has a baby on it that was my tester 😆 I’ve been misting them til they rooted, should I keep misting or will they be ok ?

#### Lindsey replied on 2024-08-08

They will be ok! I very rarely mist mine lol 🫣 bad plant mom haha

Lmaooo, I’ve never propped a succulent before. I actually tend to kill them so 💀🤣 I just figured the soil needed to have some moistness haha

#### Lindsey replied on 2024-08-08

You’d be shocked by how little they really need! I don’t water any of my cactus or succulents until they start to look or feel dehydrated/wrinkly. If they’re plump and firm I leave them alone no matter how dry the soil is. And when I do water, I always butt chug! (Bottom water lol)
