For most succulents with fleshy leaves, like jade plants, sedum, or echeveria, propagation with a leaf requires a few simple steps, and a trip to the garden store for rooting hormone. On her blog, Martha Stewart recommends to "gently pull off a leaf from its stem, dip the torn end in water, and then into the rooting hormone." Be sure the plant you are propagating is healthy and well-hydrated to ensure the leaf has a good chance of rooting. Once you have removed the leaf, Stewart recommends placing it in a quarter-inch deep hole within a pot of succulent soil. Irrigate the soil and cover it with a clear glass bowl, allowing it to dry out between waterings. Alternatively, you could wait for your new plant to develop while making a statement piece by using a dining cloche to cover your propagated leaf. In a few weeks, your new succulent should be ready to transplant.
Stewart also claims on her blog, "If you'd like a larger result in less time, try propagating succulents by using stem cuttings." Take a two to four-inch stem cutting from a healthy succulent, wet the end, and dip it in rooting hormone. Similar to leaf propagation, the stem can be potted an inch and a half deep in succulent soil, watered, and covered to form a new plant. This method is also great because if you plant it directly in your desired pot, it does not require transplanting once the roots develop.
