How much water?

So I’m propagating these two little babies that fell off a new succulent I got, they have very little roots, but how much water do they need, I have yet to water them since they fell off. They are in a 2in pot #PropagationStation #WateringWisdom #SucculentSquad #help #Propagation #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent
No need!! the mother leaf is still full of water and is supplying its pups with what it needs, tho keeping that first layer of soil just slightly moist is essential if you want the roots to grown downward, if you have a spray bottle give it a mist! personally i just like to let my succulent props do their own thing they’re extremely hardy and have a high success rate on their own, it’s better to neglect them then to overwater and cause rot!
mist the soil regularly, and don’t pick the parent leaf off of the baby sprouting from the end of the leaf, the parent leaf will shrivel up and fall off on its own, once the baby has gotten all of the nutrients it needs to start living on its own from the parent leaf, and if you take the parent leaf off before it does it on its own, you risk the baby dying because it doesn’t have the nutrients and water it needs from the parent leaf.
