Any ideas on how to propagate this guy?

Also, you should put your current plant in a smaller pot with drainage holes.
@I_AM_HOUSEPLANT I’ve only propagated my Haworthia’s through offshoots or babies so far. I do have an aloe leaf cutting that I’ve been trying to prop for about a month and it’s going well (it’s still alive) so far but I haven’t checked for roots yet. Either way, it is imperative to allow the offshoots or leaf cuttings to callus over (dry out) at the bottom for a day or two before placing in medium of choice. I place mine in a clean dish or plastic cup to dry out in a warm spot but out of direct sun. After a few days, the bottom gets hard and I dip my them in rooting hormone powder before arranging them in damp soil. Some I cover with plastic domes for a few weeks and others I just keep in a warm, bright spot. Check for roots after about 3 to 4 weeks. Some people like to use sphagnum moss to propagate but I prefer using soil. Here are some I just did this past week. They are mixed with other succulent cuttings I took from my other plants. The one in the 🎃 pot was the mother plant of all those others in the photos
