About a year ago, a stray cat got stuck in my pool area after falling through the birdcage mesh. It then proceeded to wreak havoc on my garden, trying to escape my dog
The cat was fortunately unharmed, but my young burro's tail, Mule, was broken and scattered all over the ground. I was devastated because I had just gotten him looking nice and lush, and now he was in pieces π’; he looked such a mess I couldn't stand it π; it really felt like the end of the world right there. However, Mule was still my plant baby, so I couldn't just give up on him π.
So I salvaged what I could, repotted every last piece into a hanging basket, and prayed he'd pull through.
However, little did I know that burroβs tails are some of the few succulents that will propagate from anything; so three burro tails became several and counting, and the scattered mess is quickly becoming the picture-perfect hanging succulent I always dreamed of, and it's all thanks to that cat π€. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PetsAndPlants #PlantLove #HangingPlants #BurrosTail #SucculentSquad #Succulents

I love this story. It reminds me a little bit of one from a very long time ago (1989) before I knew anything about plants. My mother had given me her Christmas cactus which I have mentioned here many times. It lived in a bay window in my condo. I got a new dog CassieοΏΌ who loved jumping up on the window seat and looking out. One day I came home and her tail wagging had broken countless pieces off the plant. At the time I read that you should propagate it in sand, so I bought some sand and put the pieces in the sand, having no idea when or how to check on the roots forming. After some time my cat tipped the cuttings pot all over the floor, where I found that the roots looked great, and I was able to pop them back up with their mom making the plant so much fuller than it was.
@Just1More what good helpers you have!! ππ₯°
Although as I read βsandβ and βcatβ I thought π uh oh π¬π€ But, not to fear, it wasnβt that kind of story ππ€£

I wish my chaos kitten would help rather than harm my plants! Sheβs killed a few and damaged several moreβ¦
