Wondering her state

#BlackRose hello everyone! 🩢🌱 I received this beauty in Finland after a 24 days trip from the Canary Island, showered her and soaked her roots in water with musk for 24 hours. Now potted here on a 3:1 perlite and cactus soil mix on an absorbent cement pot with a drainage hole. Watered it just a bit after 2 days resting in the new mix, now wondering if you have any advice on how long should her be in the shadow, if you think she’ll survive and looking ok in this spot or should I take it out?, the weather is super nice here these days, but whatever and any other advise you guys may share with me I’d appreciate!

Samuel - great find! This is a type of succulent so you will want to relocate it outdoors (assuming warm / hot in your area). οΏΌ try to transition it outside over several days - that way it won’t shock it. it will burn in too strong of sun so try to site it somewhere that it can get afternoon shade or a a bit of a break midday when the rays are st their strongest.
Mine love autumn, 15 to 20 degrees celcius outside with a little sun. I let them dry out a little. Easy to care for.
@userd0b317ba Samuel that plant is a beauty! I know nothing about them. But maybe someone else can help you out. Hashtag help #HappyPlants #GregGang enjoy your plant care journey. Welcome to Greg!!
I rescued this one about 3 months ago. Looks very similar to yours.
Mornin, Samuel! I agree with @JubilantTearose - the succulents thrive in the sunlight! I have a few different kinds.

they stay in my greenhouse and get watered well when the temperature is above 90Β°.

Over time, they can look like little trees! οΏΌ
Mine are outdoors and love it, I do notice they do better in spring and autumn and don’t look as great during summer when it’s too hot outside so I put a shade cloth over them so the sun doesn’t scorch them, I think your set up is fine but may need a little more sunshine if indoors.

🀯πŸ₯°β€οΈ just AMAZING 🀩
Are those flowers from the succulent ?
Such a cool plant. When you said you β€œsoaked her roots in water with musk” what does that mean? And what does that do ?πŸ™ŒπŸ€ͺπŸˆπŸ’•β€οΈπŸ«ΆπŸŒ±πŸ˜‚
@userd0b317ba what is that plant?! It's amazing
Wow that is an awesome πŸͺ΄ plant!
@SportyWhiskfern it arrived very dry from the long trip it had, so I was suggested (by the seller) to let the roots rest in a bowl of water during 24hr along with the musk that came protecting it. It’s supposed to reactivate the plant back 🀞🏼✨
@AshleyG It is supposed to be an Aeonium Arboreum β€˜Zwartkop’ (Black Rose) ☺️ Let hope I can keep it alive and make her thrive ✨🌱
