How do i take aloe leaf cuttings?

I took leaf cuttings from my succulent plants and are growing into little plants, how do I take care of them?

• I am a complete beginner and need some tips. I placed 3 leaves into a 3" terra cotta pot about a month ago and all 3 are growing. I have been misting them once a week but am I afraid I will kill them. When and how should I be watering them? They are near a window that receives bright light but not direct sunlight. I am in Southern California and the nights can be chilly still with lows in the mid 30s and the days are now in the low 80s. When is it safe to take them outside into the sun? The cuttings are from Echeverias and I believe one is called Black Prince. Thank you in advance for all your help. :) I would post a picture on here but I don't know how.

• Answer:

  Echervia - Leaf cutting entails cutting a young leaf from near the centre of the rosette. Leave the leaf out in the open air for a few hours to allow the wound to callous over. Dip the leaf into rooting hormone (such as RootOne, which can be purchased almost anywhere you buy plants) and place the leaf (cut-side down) into slightly moist succulent mix potting soil (even better is very lightly moist sand). Soon, a new rosette will grow from the base of the leaf. As soon as enough roots are present to re-pot, remove the original leaf cutting and re-pot the rosette. Having lavished so much TLC on the little plants, I wouldn't be in too much of a rush to get them outside. John H
