I absolutely could be wrong here because I'm a total newbie. But I've been looking into propagating succulents, and those look like a whole ton of new baby plants? Very cool if so!

#### Abi replied on 2025-07-26

Yes! They came from a friend!

### Morglez commented on 2025-07-26

So cool! What kind are they?. And I am really.loving my succulents, so far they are super easy to care for. I have mine under grow lights for 12 hours and water when the Planta app tells me, and they are doing well. Good luck to you and all your babies! 🥰

They are donkey tails

Only water when the top inch of soil is dry! I never follow plantas schedule.. have fun and good luck!!

Yes do this!!!

That’s a slow but fun ride you and I are both on. The coverage you got on your plant is 10/10 satisfaction!

These are so cute! Here's mine I got at the beginning of summer. I wait for all my succulents to completely dry out before watering. BUT I have other succulents propagating right now and I water them like every three days with my spray bottle so I only wet the top of the soil and the rest doesn't get sopping wet and stay wet for too long since their roots are little at this point. When they get bigger, say the size of a quarter, then I start to water all the way through closer to what planta recommends their watering schedule be but always check to make sure the soil is completely dry. For the burros tail and donkey tail they need very bright indirect light from what I've heard. Been keeping mine in that and its been growing good.
