Bought my first succulents today and going to give them a try!  
Also collected some leaves and letting them callous over so I can attempt to grow new plants 🪴💗

Water when the leaves pucker or get squishy. NEVER go on a schedule!

If you want you can chop the long top off the 3rd one so it grows more compact. Then you can take those leaves and prop them too

My friend mentioned that to me as well and I did end up cutting it! I will have to post a pic of all my little leaves I have drying out now 😊
