My broken ankle and the heat down here has decimated my succulent collection. My daughter has tried to keep up with the watering that with everything else she’s had to do taking care of me It just was impossible for her to give them all the attention I usually can do. So we brought them all inside and I had to toss the dead ones and try to salvage the limp ones and the ones that had dropped a lot of their lower leaves. So far it looks like some of them are coming back and pumping out, but I just heard on PBS that melatonin enhances the root growth of plants! Since I have a bottle of melatonin, and it doesn’t do me any good I think I’m going to try to make up the solution for these poor little babies that are root damaged I’m sure. If any of you have ever done this, let me know what you think and how you did it. Otherwise I’m relying on AI and a little online search.  #floridanativeplants #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #OutdoorGrowing #TheWateringHole @HFplantoasis @HummingbirdMint @Idplantthat @ILoveMyPlants @Jadedbelle @Jujube @Luckeecharm1 @ModestCoconut13 @Ms.Persnickety @newplantgirlies @Preciousplants1 @princesspitstop @QuickKalopanax @sarah10orio @Shells_Garden @SillyPlantGirl @SizableSuncup20 @smushface @SolaceInSunshine @RefinedSandwort @Ponytailmom @Blhagmaier @BigPetunia80 @BEsucculent @UnbeatenSoybean @TopCoriander6 @stephongreg @ILoveMyPlants @SpyderLily @Ms.Persnickety @CutePolypremum @DreamMachine @ILoveMyPlants @MariansOasis @SillyPlantGirl @Tiffanypickles @4eva @ @NOLAPhoenix @Devsleafypals #Greggang #Thewateringhole #RefinedSandwort @MariansOasis @DreamMachine @princesspitstop @Jho @CutePolypremum @Lynsplants @Preciousplants1 @Idplantthat @peixe.pt @Dawgfreak @FamedGymealily @CactusAdjacent @Ponytailmom @RealSimpleMama @FitBrowallia @elisenavidad @ZappyLilac84 @GardenCat43 @SuperbRaspfern @Forbes57 @BEsucculent @Ananyaplantluv1 @savandtalloo @Luvlilu @Boymom-plantmom @BabeVila @lynnluvsplants @mamalinne @sarah10orio @TooUnique1 @stephongreg @WormWarriorFarm @SillyPlantGirl @CivilGinseng3 #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #baldcypress

@BEsucculent I’m so sorry about your plants: I wish I could help! I’ve heard that melatonin is good for stimulating roots boosting dropping leaves: however I have never tried it myself.

So sorry to hear about your situation, good that you have some help!
Generally, if it isn’t made for plants, don’t use in plants. Most pills we take have sugars and other binders that plants cannot process, which would lead to further decline in your succulents.
Your best bet is just give them bright light and let the soil dry out fully between waterings.
Wishing you and your succulents a speedy recovery ❤️🩹

@BEsucculent @Preciousplants1 Hi Barbara! I would agree with Kristopher @FamedGymealily If it isn’t made for plants, EVEN if you heard it on PBS, which I generally like and trust, I would avoid it. You don’t want to add things to your pots that plants can’t process, like sugars and binders like Kristopher mentioned, because you could easily disrupt the balance of the potting mix. You don’t want your plants roots to be doing a chemistry experiment when they really need to be focusing on healing right now.
Plants are resilient. Their roots will grow back if they haven’t crossed the line yet. 💪
But! If you wanna send me your address to nadiambrady@gmail.com I would totally send you some of my favorite rooting stimulator!! 🫶
