Leaves

To propagate from leaves, select a healthy leaf and gently twist it from the stem. Ensure no part of the leaf remains on the stem. Let the leaf callous for several days before laying it on well-draining soil. Water after the soil dries completely. Once roots and a rosette form and the mother leaf withers, plant the new growth.
