This is what happens when you keep a #HensAndChicks in too small a pot, on too dark a shelf for too long. Is it wrong that I actually LOVE it!?!?!? 😍 I know it needs to be repotted but I really want to keep its bizzaro shape. 😁 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Sempervivum #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #WhatTheSuccWednesday #StrangePlants

@Stall54Jo It’s so cool! I want to repot it but in a way that will maintain this growth pattern… 🤔
@LaSiguanaba I wonder if you could train it to a certain shape....continue the etiolation, but secure it to a wire loop or something? 😜
It is neat. As someone else posted earlier, it's not strange or wrong, it's one of a kind! 🤗

@CourtlyKingfern I actually like it too Evelyn! ☺️ It’s just so strange and interesting, but I guess that describes nature pretty well. It’s definitely one of a kind. 😁
@UltraKoreanfir I think if I keep it in a tall, narrow pot, it will continue to grow this way. I’m just concerned there is no longer enough substrate for the roots. Otherwise, I’d just leave it in this pot. 😁 I think it’s very cool too!
@BrightBlueberry I’m just concerned there isn’t enough soil for the roots, but I want to keep the shape too. 😉
@PoetCashew Thanks! Yeah, my concern it that there is just not enough soil left for the plant and it really needs a refresher. On the other hand, I love how it’s growing and don’t want to disrupt that…
@SweetAzurebluet Thanks! I love the way she just took on this unique shape without me really doing anything. Nature always finds a way! 😁
@HolyYankeeweed Thanks, I love the shape too —normally they don’t grow this way. The plant is a sempervivum, more commonly known as hens and chicks. 🐤
@Catplantaddict Glad it survived! I need to repot this one because there is very little dirt left, but I don’t want to lose the shape it’s taken. I’ll have to find another tall, skinny pot! 😂
