I've watched a video with the floss method explained and it's absolutely brilliant. One thing I remember, the author highlighted that the floss should be the most basic one, ideally without any menthol or similar additives.

Shame it won't work on anything with a harder stem, I had to remove quite a few leaves from an Echeveria 'Blue Bird' to get into the stem, and had real troubles cutting though it with a small secateurs anyway!

I saw a Korean video a while ago and they were using a very thin wire, seem to remember they were doing Crassula moonglows, their stem probably isn’t as hard as an old echeveria but it might cut better than a floss. I didn’t have any wire so I’ve only tried the floss method. Next time my dentist asks if I’ve been flossing I don’t have to lie haha

One tip if no one’s tried it before is to make a loop, like the start of a knot, around the stem, so that the floss/wire meets up as it cuts through. Helps make a cleaner cut.

Just noticed this after checking and watering the conophytums I got from Terry.

The new growth is on the green side which is good but I can’t tell if the new bit is green or not. After the big chop a couple of weeks ago the leaves of the main plant seemed to deflate pretty quickly. I should’ve taken a picture of the roots.

Maybe the guys on AliExpress would have more luck if they marketed these as "Haworthia propagation kits":

That looks a bit lethal
