Succulent term?

[Brigitte]

Hi
I was hoping someone could kindly help me out. Ive been trying to find out what the correct term or process is when a succulent is created from a leaf?
When that leaf dies off and a new plant is left in its place.
Or is it merely called propagating like everyone has told me its called?

There may be a fancy botanical/scientific term, but in everyday terms "propagation by a leaf cutting" would be fine.

You might call them plantlets, I think. But that describes the new plant (same clone) not the process.

Maybe you can call this process 'asexual propogation'?

Simply vegetative reproduction, You may look here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetative_reproduction

Yeah, meristematic tissue in the leaf is capable of turning into roots and new stems/leaves, usually called asexual propagation

[HairyHarry]

Both vegetative reproduction and asexual propagation are generic terms that apply to more than the pictured 'event'. Stem cuttings, root cuttings et cetera all qualify under those terms. (they are correct terms, of course. And one could add vegetative growth, vegetative offpring)

Less technical terms, but more precisely describing this phenomenon would be; leaf propagation or leaf cutting
