Würde sie auf einen Boden werfen? Normalerweise habe ich nicht viel Erfolg mit der sich verbreiteten Sukkulenten, da sie normalerweise verrotten, also brauche ich hier eine Erfolgsgeschichte lol

I have these cacti! I feel like this is how these little guys like to go about propagating themselves. A strong wind will send a bud tumbling. I would toss them onto some dirt and let them bake in the sun until it looks like they might actually be thirsty
They’re Mammillarias, Gracilis?, just plant them directly into succulent soil and treat them as if they have roots.
In my experience that cactus like water and is hard to overwater but i have mine with direct sunlight so the soil dry fast.
I have these. As long as they are watered they grow like weeds.
I haven’t had one fail yet. I just expose the base to soil. They grow like weeds.
I’d put them upright into some cactus soil and let them dry out for a bit, then water very thoroughly and repeat. I’ve got a few propagating right now and it took about a month to get stable roots. Here’s my current setup:

You can also just stick them back into the pot with the mother plant, but I prefer not to do that because this way I can gift them to other people. The largest one you see in that picture is about three months out and it’s fully rooted. The smaller ones are literally just stuck in there. I’ve only ever had one of them rot on me and that was (I think) because I put it directly into wet soil without waiting for it to dry out or even callous. I find these guys are very easy to propagate in dirt, and I really really suck at soil propagation. I hope this advice is helpful!
Edit: fixing some grammar mistakes
I just found some of those too! I have them resting on top of soil with my other prop bits.
Thimble cactus. I repotted both of mine as gently as I could and still they left me with a pile of these. I dipped in cinnamon and laid out fora couple weeks. Then put a drop of prop drops on the ends and stuck in cactus soil. So far so good
I am feeling very validated in this thread because I have now taken care of 2 mamas and all the babies fell off. Didn’t realize they do it with a gentle breeze!
I have babies on some soil, just pretending they have roots like someone else said. Caring for them that way has kept them alive so far!
I just put mine straight into some Cati soil and they are growing!
Just sit their butts in soil, water lightlyand leave them alone, they’ll take care of the rest.
