See any growth difference? I honestly don’t.

So I had accidentally started to propagate these two that fell off of their mother succulent when I was potting it, and the same happened with another succulent -that had two leaves with rosettes growing too ironically- but I don’t see any difference with these two other than their main leaf is shriveling. Whereas with the other succulent that I had accidentally started to propagate as well has a bunch of growth. I’ll put a pic of the other succulent in the comments so you can see the difference, they were pretty much the same size too, and I had once again posted them on the same exact day

This is the other succulent I was talking about. The first three photos are the growth as of today and the fourth is when I firsthand potted it
It depends on the succulent honestly! Some are just slower growers. If you really do feel that they aren’t growing I recommend giving it a few nutrients via fertilizer, homemade or store bought!
@LikelyChaya33 Do NOT add fertilizer to the succulent leaf propagation! Because adding fertilizer does not speed up growth for unrooted leaves and can actually harm them. During the first few weeks, the mother leaf provides all the necessary nutrients for the new "pup" to grow. Fertilizing before roots form is a waste of nutrients and poses a high risk of chemical burn.
@Ms.Persnickety ok, so I should just leave it? I’m planning on repotting one of them in a separate 2in pot so they have enough room, is that ok to do that or does that cause stress? Evan though I’ve been unable to get the roots in the soil. If that make sense.
@LikelyChaya33 I would wait till you have at least some roots growing before repotting into separate pots.
