Step 4 : Get Your Succulent Babies

Lay your succulent cuttings/leafs on top of the soil. (These should be cut and set aside for at least 48 hours to ensure that they callus or scab over). Make sure you lightly spray them. The dirt should be damp, not be dripping wet. Keep them away from direct light or they will run the risk of burning.

Step 5: Watch and Wait

Remember to lightly spray them about 3 times a week. Anything else and your plant babies will drown and the roots will start to root. After 3 weeks has gone by then you should start seeing roots, then its time to plant your succulents cuttings.
