What a Difference a Few Months Can Make! A few months ago, I had to make the decision to perform some pretty major “surgeries” on my succulent set, which had begun declining significantly for reasons unknown. Not knowing what was the culprit, and thus, what to change, I went ahead and changed everything - soil, pots, cuttings, and introduced a grow light. Given the compromised position the plants were already in, and given I was no expert with succulents (I’d never actually cut off roots or done any other major renovations), I felt my set would either die off immediately, or gradually improve and thrive Well, the outcome has been nothing short of impressive. My plants are unrecognizable from what they looked like before, in the best way possible. And, bonus, I’ve just about doubled my numbers - I had a bunch of propogations I did in the process root and grow successfully. They are now the size of their parent succs 5 months ago. Attached is Apollo, one of my most impressive parent succulent transformations, as well as one of my not-yet-named propogations - which literally started as just roots and a chopped stem. (I tried to find the “before” photo of this one, but couldn't; but you can see in the photo how the chopped stem is still visible - imagine it with just the stem! So, if your succulents seem not to be doing well, or you’re discouraged about where they’re at - here’s your sign to go with your intuition and make some changes — and wait for them to amaze you 🌱🌵✨ #HappyPlants #Transformation #Growth #SucculentSquad
