I've got these two Gollum Jade plants that were hit hard by root rot. After cutting away the dead roots, the plants are looking pretty shriveled. I'm trying to resurrect them by re-rooting either the whole plants or some leaves. I've been wondering whether I should use a rooting agent or hormone to help with that. Does anyone have a favorite brand or type that works well with succulents?

I agree with Gabe, but I do give a little water every couple of weeks since my climate is pretty dry. Just make sure they're not soaking wet; otherwise, they'll just rot again. But if you're still worried about your plants, you might consider propagating any healthy leaves you have left!
From what I've seen, rooting agents don't really do much for succulents. Just plant them in decent soil with good drainage and leave them mostly dry. I usually just use a rocky substrate and avoid watering for a while. It'll encourage the roots to grow naturally. Good luck!
