Frithia Pulchra rotting help

[Hocksworth]

Hello there,

I'm new to this forum and looking for some advice.
Sadly my beautiful Frithia Pulchra has rotted to the core - i'm left with lots of small individual leaves.
Does anyone know if it would be possible to propagate from these?

Thanks!

This will be a lost cause, I'm afraid, with Frithia.

Further to the above, a lot off Crassulaceae species and hybrids are very easy to propagate from entire leaves, and this is a natural means of reproduction for many of them. Each leaf roots easily and has a a tiny growing point at its base which new leaves / stems form. Other plants, e,g, Haworthias are also possible by this method, provided that each leaf has a tiny bit of the stem attached which has the growing point.

However, very few succulents can be propagated from parts of leaves. Gasterias are not too hard by this method, but they are a well know exception to the norm.

For most other species, single leaves do not have a growing point from which new leaves and stems can develop, and unlike Gasterias, they do not develop one from the scar tissue at the base of a leaf or leaf segment. So for mesemsb, which have rotted at the central growing point, there is close to zero chance of rescuing a plant from parts of leaves.

From my experience they do grow really slow in this way, though.

Thank you so much for all the responses!
It's such a shame, I will attempt to re-root it as i have nothing to loose but considering what you've all said i'm not holding out much hope
If by some miracle it does work - I will post an update
