No, pls. just leave it as is, the less handled at this early point the better.

Think about it, in nature, no one comes along to right the plant, tuck in the roots or give it any other TLC like that.

Succulents tend to be (largely speaking) tough & scrappy plants who've survived by just toughing it out.

As you can see, its new growth is just fine, as soon as the old leaf detaches itself, you can remove it. It just needs time & patience pls.

The less handled it is the better yes...but when the mother leaf either falls off or removed it wouldn't hurt the plant if you would plant it roots down if you want! Plant it as you would any plant with roots. The mother leaf isn't provided the nutrients anymore anyways.

Leave them! I jostled one of my pots with a large rooting leaf and many of the baby roots broke. =(

See, Eww makes the point brilliantly, unfortunately sometimes stuff just happens, so really just leave it alone.

Heather, you seem so intent on tucking those roots DOWN into the mix (despite what Ewww has just said), pls read up on Aerial Roots, they are not all designed to go down into the soil no matter how much you want them to.

thank you all for your comments it just worries me that it isn't getting water cuz the mother leaf is completely dry now

Sara, do you see how fat & fleshy the leaves are? That is STORED WATER in the leaf tissues. Pls read the definition of succulents plants having to do w/ their ability to STORE WATER.

They don't need any water, they have more than enough, it's just YOU that needs them to have water; pls. let it go.

Sara

You also said you spray it every other day - there should be more than enough of moisture. I don't even spray them and they are fine...

These were just left where they fell, I never even saw them as they were under the big plant. Remnant of the leaf is visible on the left plantlet. One in front has some bite marks from the chipmunk or the squirrel...those rascals like to chew on 'juicy' leaves:

Here are some leaves from Sedeveria 'Harry Butterfield' that I never watered; they were left on top of the soil at the beginning of summer, pot was on a helve outdoors that got full sun until about noon. They only go water when it was raining (photo from Sept. 27):

Imontestella this forum is for learning about all sorts of things. All I said was that yes leaving them alone is best! But for God's sake if she wanted to take that tiny plant and turn it with the root down touching the soil then it's surly not the end of the world! I never said to tear the leaf off! AND I NEVER SAID TO BURY THE ROOTS! I said in my post that I wasn't an expert and I sure as heck don't claim to be BUT I would appreciate it if you wouldn't be so rude with your comments towards me! I don't need you to tell me to read up on anything! If you have some nice advice then fine! There's no reason for any person on here to have an attitude and it's not the first time on here that you've been rude to someone either! Please consider changing the way you say things to people. There's always a nicer way of saying things especially when you are typing... considering that words can be read differently.

(No you said several times it wouldn't hurt to tuck the root down; I guess you're unfamiliar with aerial roots.)

Being advised to read up on something here, or being asked to search for things on here, is an extremely common suggestion/comment here.

Cannot be that you haven't seen that here before. Maybe it could have been a bit more delicately stated, then again perhaps someone needs a bit thicker skin. Please consider not taking quite so personally.

Excuse me but I don't need thicker skin and you have no clue what I've read on here! It was directed towards someone that has had rude comments towards me and others before! And if you aren't going to answer the question that was posted and just post something rude yourself then don't comment! I do know about the aerial roots. But I haven't seen it bother a plant to turn it and LAY IT ON IT'S SIDE! If they truly are needing aerial roots to thrive then it would continue to be just that! When someone usually moves or starts their new plants they don't bury them so I assumed that people would understand that I meant to lay it on the soil! Yes suggestions are on here that's what the hell this forum is supposed to be for...people learning! AND I NEVER SAID TO TUCK THE ROOTS DOWN...so I would appreciate not having words put in my mouth! So as far as not taking things personally I don't...due to the fact that every comment here should be said with some common courtesy I always word things where someone couldn't think I was being rude. As far as you addressing me thinking I'm taking things to heart...you haven't posted on any of the posts that I've been on so you don't know why I'm FINALLY saying something. I take EVERYONE'S advice on here the same as I would when I'm told I'm wrong. Please understand that I'm not only speaking from one comment!
