Achilles (Star Cactus) got a new home
This one I did a little different

I didn't want to use so much soil since really these don't need to be so deep in soil

I used the 3" cup seen below, inverted it, so the mouth would be facing down in the planter

I filled the planter around, the cup, placed the plant and continued filling it with soil till she was firm and steady

I removed a few pups and re-potted those to give away but some I kept because I think they look cute and gives it character

What do y'all think?

Cute ! I love Haworthias they are so easy to care for & come in so many shapes, textures and colors. What purpose does black plastic thing serve for the plant ? I’m just curious!
Did it raise up the plant so it wouldn’t be so deep in the pot? I’m just guessing based on the description you gave in the post, I could be totally wrong lol.
@TidyTigerpear yes yes yes ❀️

Less use of soil

Just propped it right on top and fill all around πŸ€—
That’s smart I’m gonna try that this weekend when I repot some succulents!
@IconTule35 let us know how it goes
Clever! ❀️
@DesertGreen thank you πŸ€—
