Not tried a propagator for rerooting, though! Would this be an unheated one (except when bottom heat needed trying to salvage a rootless plant in the depths of winter maybe?) with plastic cover with top air-vents open?
Watering could be tricky, if the plant is in an enclosed space wouldn't it be more likely to rot?
No problem Lindsey.

Nope my propagator runs at around 80f/27c with bottom heat, it is also lit 18hrs a day. Rootless plants aren't watered until roots start to form and them only lightly so they dry out in hours. Effectively my tlc propagator is run so it's arid, unlike the seed one that is quite damp.

Mainly Haworthia and Gasteria, a few other South African succulents and the odd spiky thing.
