Best Propagation for mystery succuĺent

Hi all. Whats the best propagation for this mystery succuĺent cutting?
Not sure what it is (see attached picture parent plant, looking a bit lack lustre) which may help identify TIA

 

Am sure our resident succulent experts will be able to identify the plant, but like any such plant you need some free draining Cacti compost sold in small bags at the garden center or mix your own with 50% potting compost an 50% hort, sand and fine grit.

Just remove those brown leaves and a couple of the lower ones and plant it in to the compost and only add a little water if the compost seems very dry as too wet and it may rot.

 

what I do is just sit it on top of the compost and let the roots grow away ... I have tried placing in the compost but always rotted ,, quick mist over in the morning only

 

Not the best time of the year to be propagating plants but rotting off is the biggest problem.
as @Spruce suggests, might be best to just leave on the surface with an occasional spraying.

Wouldn't like to guess what it is but it looks like it should be variegated but its not getting strong enough light for it to show up properly.

 

I think it's a Haworthia of some sort perhaps . I have similar plant, in good light the tips are almost transparent.

It should root easily in barely moist compost/ gravel/ sand mix, just peel off the dried bottom leaves and stick it in. Supporting the stem with a layer of gravel keeps it in place. The biggest risk is rotting so the compost should be only just moist, gentle watering from below is easiest.

Mine is in dire need of rejuvenating in spring. It needs more light than what it gets in it's current place so has grown leggy and bald in the middle.

 

I thought it looked a bit like a stretched echeveria, or pachyveria, or sedeveria? But I'm no expert on succulents and it's probably nothing like I've said.
Any cuttings I do I let dry for a few days to callous over the cut end. I then stick them in just coarse sand that is just BARELY damp. Don't water them, they will rot. That's it, nothing else until they've rooted

 

It looks to me as if it's one of the Haworthias - cooperii (?) or maybe cymbiformis (?) but it is very etiolated. The leaves should form a tight rosette. You need to give it a bright location but not in direct sunlight.
In it's present condition it might not be suitable for propagation.
