So in the last month my plant has been growing strangely. Itās a new plant and Iām only slightly certain itās a dunce cap. Is this normal behavior? #MiniDunceCap

Okay I think this is the last one, this one's reaaaally overdue. Anyone remember the #duncecap that I couldn't decided if it was flowers or pups? Well it's been at least month so you'd think I'd have #pupdates but I'm actually more confused? Is this #flowerhour? I feel like if they were flowers they would have bloomed already but they're looking less and less like pups?? #succulentsquad #praiseoverdue #showmeyoursecrets

Flowers or Pups? I noticed some new growths on my #duncecap but they look different from the lil sprouts that tend to branch off. Could they be flowers? This is another cutie from #queenofsucculents that I've had just long enough to start getting paranoid about š #newgrowth #hellointhere #canipropagateanything #succulentsquad #succulentlove
