I had all the leaves in two trays, and they were taking up a lot of space on the floor, plus a couple of the leaves dried up, so I've decided to go a different route ... or routes.
There were quite a few which had no roots at all, or had tiny roots, and these I've put over water. It's worked very well before, so fingers crossed for these!
And these others have either long roots, but no babies, or babies but very few roots, so I've put these into a pot of my succulents mix. If they didn't take so long to arrive I would order more, but some of these suffered a lot on the journey. We'll see how many plants I manage to propagate and grow into healthy plants.
The little pot I've used for propagating those leaves used to hold a citronella candle, which I've had for many years, and never used, as it was for outdoor use. I spent a while the other day, softening the wax with hot water, scraping wax, until I finally got a useable pot. I want to use it for an adult plant later on. It's quite shallow, but some of the succulents have very short root systems, so I guess it can work.
