Hi there! I am trying to propagate this echeveria from leaf cuttings. None of the leaves have taken off like my other succulents Crying

The leaves start getting soft and then start getting a black discolouring (rot?) where they have calloused over. This my method:
1) gently remove a leaf, making sure it is healthy and intact.
2) Leave for callouses to form, usually 3 days
3) put onto soil and mist once a week.

I am not sure if they are drying out too quickly? It is spring here in New Zealand and we are lucky to get to the 20's (degrees celcius). At the moment they are outside in a little greenhouse. Do some echeverias not propagate well from leaf cuttings? Should I just use the pups?

Thanks Smiling
