Oof Iām killing it Itās turning brown and mushy after a repot - I need to repot again. Guessing itās root rot. Any tips for the next try? I did succulent soil but I think Iāll try more perlite and definitely go with Terra cotta

How do you determine when to water your othonna capensis? Its soil has been dry for a few days, but I donāt see any wrinkles on the leaves like Iāve seen in the past. Howeverā the new ābeadsā coming in appear stunted and small compared to the older ābeadsā and I thought it could mean they wanted more water. š¤·š»āāļø #RubyNecklace #StringOfRubies #terracottapots

Whatās wrong with my Ruby Necklace plant ? My string of rubies recently started yellowing leaves, and some of the yellow ones look wrinkly, as if they need water. However I water every two weeks or so, (since they are a string succulent), and I only bottom water. We have been having less sun recently but it still getting sunlight. It was very healthy and happy until recently. I donāt think itās overwatering, because I donāt water it often. I havenāt checked the roots for rot, because well.. we all know that repotting strings, can be a daunting task. I havenāt changed the pot/dirt since I got it, but I know I probably should since itās from Home Depot. My strings never last in the dirt that it comes potted in. #SucculentSquad #Succulents #help #Greggers #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove

Happy #succulentsaturday ! I got to pot a lot of my plants from my order, last night! Iām so happy with them! They all are healthy & beautiful! 1. Ruby necklace, & a new pot that my grandma got for my birthday. Itās so unique! I want to put something in the other holes, but havenāt quite figured out what yet. 2. My hybrid of some sort, not sure what kind yet. 3. Graptoveria Titubans, this was the only single I ordered, (I ordered three mystery sets) and specifically picked this one because Iāve had my eye on it for a while. I canāt wait till the variegation starts showing! 4. New frog friend I found last night, on my lamp, he watched me plant my succulents ššø pretty sure he is a tree frog, his eyes are super cool. (This isnāt the same frog I posted about a couple days ago, in my succulent arrangement pot, he moved out sadly after two days lol). 5. My boyfriend took me out to a couple plant shops today since he worked on my birthday, and got me a wishlist plant Iāve been looking for. A Moonshine Sansevieria! It also was a great deal since I got it for 10$! Itās a good size & healthy. šŖ“ #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #SnakePlant #SnakePlantSquad #Sansevieria #repotting #Graptoveria #FrogsOfGreg #PlantLove #PlantHaul
