What is the fastest way to propagate succulents?

How long does it take for succulent pups to grow?

Can you put succulent cuttings straight into soil?
Soil: Once the stems have calloused, fill a shallow tray with well-draining cactus/succulent soil and place the cuttings on top.

Can succulents live in water forever?
And that’s really it! Once the roots form the succulent can continue living in the water as long as you provide it with a suitable container.

Can I cut the top off my succulent and replant it?
Once you remove the top of your succulent, you can replant it in the soil and it won’t look so stretched out and leggy anymore. Grab a sharp pair of shears or a gardening knife.
