    I was tidying up my semps yesterday and happened across this poor little leaf that was trying to take root all on it's own!

    Well I decided to give it a hand and popped it in the magic cabinet for some TLC :loll:

    A lot of succulents root from a leaf which make a cheap plant to grow
    Sempervivum, Crassula and Kalanchoe are good examples.:thumb:

    Maybe I will give that a try - always just used the offshoots for semps!
