I did a thing... 😅 Gomez was getting too heavy on one side and kept falling over so today I did surgery... I cut two babies off the bottom of the main stem, I cut the main rosette off and I was also able to get a few promising leaves... Now we wait for them to dry a bit and then I get to have some fun in the dirt!

Last June I gave him a good ole #bonsaisuccs treatment. Removed most of his foliage and about ⅔ to ¾ of his root system as well as giving him a slightly larger pot... He's now so root bound I broke a bamboo chopstick while trying to aerate the soil... 😅🤦 This big dude is definitely ready for another bonsai treatment once I get some soil... 😅😂😂 #succulentsquad #succulentlove #crassula #jade #socalsuccs #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #WickedValkyrie #socalgreg #beforeandafter 12 6 Comments @WickedValkyrie · 2Y Gomez is straight up KILLIN IT with the babies right now y'all! Five in total. (I know there's a ton of dirt in my windowsill, he falls over pretty often cuz his babies have made him start leaning to one side...) Thinking I may remove the bottom two to make room for the ones right above them, but haven't decided yet... What do y'all think? One of the bottom ones has visible roots growing from it's base... 🤔 #succulentsquad #succulentlove #tiscalatengogorgesedum #tiscalatengo #growingsuccs #saturdaysuccs #socalsuccs #socalgreg #newgrowth #sedum #clavatum #sedumclavatum #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #WickedValkyrie #TheSagaOfGomez 17 12 Comments @WickedValkyrie · 2Y Patience is NOT one of my strong suits and it feels like I've been waiting forever for these blooms to open...

So let me introduce you to my newest arrangement! ✨The container is about 6" measured diagonally, and about 2" deep. (It's an old deli meat container! #PlantingOnABudget🤘) I've only put in about 1.25" of soil. ✨ I'm running pretty low on soil around here so this is mostly just a super random mix from my leftover pile where I discard the excess soil after I pot something. (It's fully sanitized and it's not reused, I just tend to mix more than I need.) The best I can tell you is that it's a mix of Miracle-Gro "cactus citrus and palm" soil, regular Miracle-Gro potting soil, and lots of perlite. There may also be a bit of pumice in there but probably not much. It also has cinnamon in it to fight any potential fungus and such. I honestly don't know how much of anything is in there tho. 🤷 ✨ This arrangement is a combo of lots of things cuz honestly the plant room is running out of space so on top of chopping and propping I also combined a few older props. We have quite a few members of the #TinyTerracottaGang in here. 3 "Harbour Lights" Jade #CrassulaOvata, 5 ghost plants (idk what variety they are), a piece of my lovely pink #JellyBeans plant and several lil beans, a #GollumJade, and a few #SOP strings. I think that covers everything, but of course feel free to ask questions! 🙃✌️ #succulentsquad #succulentlove #stringofpearls #socalsuccs #socalsucculents #socalgreg #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #propagationstation #WickedValkyrie 14 4 Comments @WickedValkyrie · 2Y ✂️To chop or not to chop? ✂️ 9 17 Comments @WickedValkyrie · 2Y Am I crazy or is my Aeonium Kiwi flowering?
