I think it's fine. How cute :D

Certain succulents will do that:) I have a few. Whatever you do, be EXTREMELY careful with them. From my experience, slightest touch and those little plantlets fall right off.

Are they a type of kalanchoe? I have one little leaf that I must have picked up somewhere.

I'd stop watering, they have no roots, can't take up water. Also I'd especially stop getting water on the leaves as that invites rot big time.

I only water once every couple of days... They aren't domed, so the soil would dry out too fast if I didn't. The water that has gotten on the leaves so far has dried up, no problems. :) I'll keep a lookout for rot tho. thanks for mentioning that.

Ash, I'm not sure what it is... I wondered too, because it didn't look like the other leaves. But I never thought of kalancho... that makes sense. :)

Joy hi. Karen is right, I lost my first 2 or 3 trays of leaves that I was trying to propagate. They all gradually died of rot :-(

If the leaves are holding water, they don't need any. I also found its better not to use soil. Trying to pick them up with attached soil, to put in a pot does damage too.

I also got given some Kalanchoe plantlets. They are harder, very delicate. I put them on top of the mix, each one in a little pot and as soon as I saw roots I'd give them a drop of water (near them not on them). That way I dont have to move them at all. So far they look great. Cute even lol.

The last lot of leaves are doing really well. They are all on bare trays or in pots on dry soil, happily growing roots and baby plants.

Do a search in this forum on "propagating succulents from leaves". And Rina's thread on beheading succulents is great. Follows the same principle.

Hope your leaves turn into beautiful plants. Please give us updates in this thread, with photos of your babies.

Succulentss, I think I'll call you sss for short. Not that I'm lazy lol.

And Joy

I got my Kalanchoe plantlets, off the leaf, and then had to take them home in my trolley on a train then a bus.

They had no roots and I could see that they were very delicate, so put them in in the little pots. They are doing well.

Then I found plantlets on one of my plants, so pulled a few loose ones off. I was running out of little pots, so I put them all into one. These ones are much smaller, thinner and delicate. The tallest one flops over a bit if I put them in the sun, so I only leave them out for about half an hour.

Out of both lots I havent lost one. I think that if I left them til they got roots and then moved them, they'd be less likely to survive. I don't really know though.

So should I move each one of these into their own pot? Would that help survival rates? What kind of soil should I use? Shall I mix sand with this soil? (My soil is 50/50 of baccto potting mix and perlite)

I think the leaves are fine as they are. Probably best to leave them where they are since they are already rooting and growing cute babies.

The plantlets from the leaf edges, if they've already started growing roots, I'd leave them where they are too. Any that haven't got roots yet, I'd put them in their own pots, but only gently on top. Then you won't need to touch them again.

Im not an expert, others might do it different ways. I'm not sure.

50/50 Cactus and Succulent mix with Perlite is what's advised a lot here. Im not sure what baccto is but people here say the better "quality" ones aren't as good for succulents because they have more water holding ingredients. So cheapest is better :-)

Hope this helps, and I hope someone chimes in if I'm wrong, or there's a better way.
