Leaves:

For leaf propagation, gently just twist and pull the leaf very gently off the stem. It’s very important that you get the full leaf and not let part of the leaf stay on the stem. To make sure you get a very precise cut you can get some trimmers and cut the leaf off. After you cut your leaves off the stem you must make sure you let them sit out for 2-4 days so they can form a callus. After the leaves have formed a callus, go ahead and plant them in well-drained succulent soil.

Thanks for your information, you mentioned the “SOIL” for the echeveria is the most PERFECT soil, however you don’t say what it is, or is there one we can buy?? You said perlite and sand are good to have in the soil. Is that what the soil should be??? Thanks for reply..
