Hi Lyra, this article may help. 😃 Steps to Propagate a Succulent
Materials Needed
Succulent plant (parent plant)
Clean, sharp cutting tools (scissors or knife)
Well-draining soil (cactus or succulent mix)
Containers (small pots or trays)
Indirect sunlight location
Propagation Process
Select a Cutting Method
Leaf Propagation: Snap off a leaf from the parent plant.
Stem Cutting: Cut a 2-3 inch piece of stem, ensuring it has several leaves and nodes.
Prepare the Cutting
Allow the cut end to dry and callous for 24 to 48 hours. This step is crucial to prevent rot.
Plant the Cutting
Place the dried cutting on top of well-draining soil. For leaf cuttings, you can lay them flat or partially bury them.
Watering
Water sparingly. Use a spray bottle to mist the soil lightly until roots develop. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to rot.
Light Conditions
Keep the cutting in a location with indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can be too harsh for new cuttings.
Care After Planting
Monitor the soil moisture and only water when it feels dry.
After a few weeks, you should see roots developing, followed by new growth.
Tips for Success
Not all cuttings will root, so consider taking multiple cuttings to increase your chances of success.
Be patient; it may take several weeks for roots to form and new plants to grow.

@LikelyChaya33 it’s an echeveria for certain. Greg 🆔s it as echeveria gibbiflora. I don’t know if that’s correct. But it’s pretty!! For a cutting you could snip off one of the other more mature plants from the pot, or take some of the leaves from the flower stalks and grow them from just a leaf. It’s fun to see the leaves grow babies!
If you get a mature cutting then you can place it in some succulent mix when you get home. Give it a little water every few days. Not too moist or it could rot. If you take the leaves to grow babies from then just lay those leaves on top of some soil. Keep it dry and away from direct sun. I like to give them a little bit of water or misting just to encourage roots & rosettee babies. It’s gonna take weeks but you should start to see tiny roots and the little rosettes forming. Then you can water a bit more so they don’t shrivel up. Don’t try planting the flower stalk, it’s putting too much energy into flowering and will probably rot before rooting.

@LikelyChaya33 here’s a pic of the various stages of leaf propping these succulents. You can see 3 larger leaves that are just placed on top of the soil. They recently fell off and I just want to add them back in. At the bottom left there’s a tiny baby that’s formed on the base of a leaf. And then there are 2 rosettes that have completely used up the leaf they grew off of and are living independently 👍🫠
