Um, all i know is to put them on a dry soil and receiving bright indirect light, not direct sunlight. Can prolly mist the top jussst a bit to add lil moisture...and that's it, leave em be and suddenly you have a new succulent.

Get a small pot and initially get the soil moist. Lay it on top of the soil with that end that is growing the baby buried ever so slightly in the top soil angle it a bit into the soil. Put in a very good light I do mine in a windowsill mist the soil around the baby every so often. It takes patience but it is always rewarding !!!!

Yes @Stone, they gave good advice. Although I would advise not to mist the leaf or baby directly, just the soil for that little root. If you get the leaf and pup wet, they are prone to rot, never get succulents/ cacti wet unless you know for certain they will dry in a timely manner. I hope your pup thrives!! 😁

I’d place it on top of a dry soil, place the pot into warm place with good light but no direct sunlight. Then I would mist the soil every week until I see some fresh white roots. After that I would mist the soil every couple of days.

In the greenhouse we took an old red flyer wagon and took leaves of several different succulents and placed them on the top of a bed of soil in the wagon and now we have a wagon full of succulents of all kinds just from leaf propagations!! Super cool !!!!!

That might be too small to propagate, but try getting a tray of soil just the smallest one you can find and just keep it in bright indirect light
