The feeling of an underwatered succulent is that they feel like their leaves have been ripped off. I've propagated a dying plant this way and found myself with a few new baby plants just from the leaves of the dying plant. You should have at least one pair of leaves and a single stem. Although the seeds can germinate in a few months it is possible to get them to germinate quicker in summer. Although it is difficult to grow succulents from seeds, it is possible to make kalanchoe plants from seeds. You can propagate ice plants by using cuttings taken from an existing plant.
