Helping my newly repotted ghost plant mother :)

@Artistic_Stoner @FairyFly
Helpp!! Ok so when I repotted the mother, I cut her long stem and put the babies on the side - now they’re drying and seem like they need help. Do they need water? Or are they overwatered? How I can get them back healthy? #GhostPlant #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad
0ft to light, indirect
6” pot without drainage
Last watered 6 months ago
@SirStretchberry did you prop them like your last one? Do you know if they have roots? If there are no roots, there's no point watering, might rot the stem. They will look ugly while they're establishing themselves you remember that.
@SirStretchberry if you don't know, my way of checking for roots without unpotting is to give the tiniest, emphasize tiniest tug, if there's give, leave it alone for another week or two. If there is resistance, then there's most likely little roots going and it'd be alright to give them a little "snack" of water.
@FairyFly Yes! I followed the same procedure except this time I let them callous longer - some of them I can see roots yes, some not yet
Alrighty, I will give the ones with roots a bit of a drink! shall update soon
Excellent, you're a natural!πŸ‘Œ
Thank you for your patience & understanding for my absence.. but I think @FairyFly asked & gave the advice I would too! It’s natural if you lose a leaf or two after propping, I think they use up that water in this leaves to push roots but once that happens they’ll be able to
to absorb more water to fill back out like your previous baby. You’ve been doing one hell of a job propping & growing, they will surely bounce back once established ☺️

Also, thank you so much for your comment.. I cried when I read it this morning because I truly love this community & how kind it is. I appreciate your prayers & loving words, cause right now I am not as strong as I can be.. you have a beautiful soul, thank you again 🀍
