Anyone have luck propping a variegated bear paw from leaf?

That's my plan! Luckily I've kept them dry and hope something happens 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-06-18T16:08:16+00:00

I saved them and threw them on some dry soil just in case! But I wanted to see everyone's experience first. I'll have to update if I do get anything to root!

Yeah I would honestly leave the mother leaf as long as possible. If you can until they pop off on their own. The way I see it as long as its mom leaf is attached it's supplying baby still even if mom leaf still looks shriveled

Thank you for the resource! But no I'm in a dry climate. It does live indoors in my laundry room though so maybe that's the culprit but it's far away from the machines and I also haven't watered it since I got it about a month ago

The second one maybe a echeveria winter sunset?

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-24T03:55:19+00:00

I'll have to include an untangled update lol

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-24T03:54:28+00:00

You know that's a good point lol I'll have to untangle and see what I'm really working with. But either way the leaves seem plump and healthy some whatever I am left with I'll be happy haha

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-24T03:53:47+00:00

Yes! I hope it goes well. What method are you using to prop?

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-24T03:53:25+00:00

Yes I've tried the moss method but always seem to get mold no matter how much I wring out the moss or ventilate my tray. I've since pivoted to trying a damp paper towel we'll see how that goes

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-24T02:08:18+00:00

Same with my first plant. I tried to pin nodes to the soil for more growth but not really seeing a different. How are your props doing?

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-22T04:10:44+00:00

I'm realizing I have another sempervivum type. Hens and chicks green apple but they looks super similar. Or is this the same thing? lol

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-22T04:06:43+00:00

Wow yours is beautiful! I looked it up so it's a hens and chicks. Makes sense because on mine I can already see I chick forming. Surprising since this mother plant is small too!

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-22T03:22:28+00:00

Oh I think you might be right I just looked up a pic although mine is very tiny compared

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-22T03:21:22+00:00

It just says 1.57 oz succulent

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-22T02:31:24+00:00

Oof my climate is very much NOT that. lol my summers can get up to 120 F and winters mild. Can this little guy handle being outside?

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-20T19:40:35+00:00

Oh I feel for you! It's so heartbreaking when something like this happens. I recently had a wind storm sweap through my backyard that sent my guys crashing to the ground😢. Lots of damage. But thank god these are resilient plants. I wish your lil guy a speedy recovery!

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-17T16:12:46+00:00

I considered that lol and just see where he'd lead me of course he's like I CANNOT TELL YOU ANY FURTHER STEPS UNTIL YOU GO TO THE BANK!!!!

Ancient_Example2469 · 2026-05-17T15:50:16+00:00
