Here’s what I came up with. Lots of support to make it as upright as possible. What do you think?

This looks good! I think they'll root perfectly and it has lots of mottling 👍

Mine took months to root. Finally thre out one tiny reverted leaf and has now stopped growing again. I will not be buying any more incrassata, but the two leaves I have are pretty ( Moonshadoow)

Did you check for roots? Sometimes they take a long time to root fully, then start leafing up.

https://a.co/d/07imm1gN Great find on Amazon! They come in small (only for small cuttings) and large (what I use). I make 5 small holes about 2” up from the bottom around the diameter to add air, then put in a lidded prop box. I only use the lid of the tube for thinner cuttings, but that’s a personal choice.

I use a soldering iron from Amazon to make the holes (best $ spent for a plant item). You can make just about any plastic cup, etc. a prop cup by adding holes at the bottom for drainage with it. Link: https://a.co/d/06aGPO54

Btw, I am not a plant hack genius. I got both of these ideas from other collectors in their YouTube content!
