Been into houseplants for a while now. First time scouting dropped leaves and such. My wife and I found a ton of succulent leaves at our local Home Depot and Lowe's locations. We also found a few more goodies including what I believe to be a zz plant branch. I only remember the basics of succulent propagation from when I was in high-school. I wasn't sure whether or not the zz branch would root as is but I figured the best way to learn was try.
Advice welcome; as I mentioned I only vaguely remember how to propagate from leaves. I would also love ID on anything if you want to share. Although you might have to screenshot and circle to point out the right one lol.
I figured not every leaf would successfully propagate, so I plan on the baby plants having more room as I pull unsuccessful leaves over the next few weeks.
Also yes, the one pot is sitting in a cup because I ran out of saucers. I'll probably 3d print one soon to replace.
Had a good time with the Mrs. Looking forward to posting progress as it happens.

I am rooting a zz plant in a jar with clay pellets and water right now. It’s seems to be doing okay and has some decent roots growing. I’ve had pretty good luck using that method with quite a few different plants.
