These are my first set of leaf propagations ever attempted! most of them have been there for about 2 months I want to say. They didn't get much sunlight in the first month though because the windowsill felt too warm for baby propagations and I didn't wanna dry them out before they had a chance. They've had a lot more progress in the past month when I moved them under a grow light!

Top 3 are echeveria 'purple pearl', the lower leaves in particular actually came from a flower stem, they dropped off when I brushed it accidentally so I decided to give them a chance, they've gone squishy first before the rest of the leaves in here so they might not be successful but i'm going to keep giving them a chance until they actually die.

Bottom right has grown so many roots but no signs of any new leaves yet, the bottom middle does have one root growing but it's underneath the leaf, those two are echeveria lilacina. I wasn't planning on propagating them either but they had cosmetic damage so I pruned them and decided they deserved a chance too.

Bottom left is the newest addition from other day, it's a graptoveria 'milky way' and i'm hoping to get some progress with it, the leaf came off very easily and i've heard that a general rule of thumb is that the easier the leaves come off fully in tact the better chance you'll have propagating them!

I've just picked a lot of new leaves to propagate soon with summer approaching, I still don't really know how to properly take care of them, i've heard conflicting things on whether to mist them with water or not. I know they get all their nutrients from the mother leaf until it dries up but I saw somewhere that the roots can dry up too, can you guys tell me what you had the most success with?

This is my echeveria hybrid, Graptoveria x Milky Way

Like many of my other echeverias it's been growing flowers recently but the flowers are so small compared to the rest of them. I thought maybe it was because it's a hybrid but I looked up graptopetalum flowers and they don't look too different to what you can expect with echeveria so my only thought now is maybe the plant is too young, didn't get enough sun or nutrients to grow viable flowers that can actually produce seeds but still tried its very best, maybe there's an issue with the hybrid which makes growing proper flowers difficult or maybe there's just some echeveria or graptopetalum varieties that grow tiny flowers like this. I mean echeveria flowers aren't large by any means but I have much smaller echeverias that are growing much bigger flowers than this.
