Some succulents make your propagation work easier by forming new plants mostly on their own. Some leaf succulents develop roots on their stems while still attached to the mother plant, and sometimes leaves fall off succulents and root by themselves. Still others develop new rooted plantlets at their bases.
Likewise, people ask, do succulents root themselves?
The succulent is one of nature's most efficient plants, and one of the easiest to propagate. It's a type of “xerophyte,” a shallow-rooted wonder that thrives in dry climates and stores water in fat, fleshy leaves and stems.
Secondly, which succulents can be propagated?

Unlike leaves, cuttings do need to be put in the soil. Since they're almost a full-grown succulent already, all they need is to be planted and watered, and they'll start to grow roots! Like leaves, cuttings should be watered each time you notice the soil is dry.
