What happened to my succulent?
Comments (7)This is what always happens to my C. Muscosa. I'm not really sure how to get that thing to grow roots and keep them there. Am I watering too much, not enough? Is the soil supposed to retain more water? Less water? I would just take. Those pieces with green at the top and bury them up to the first set of undessicated leaves in a well-draining mix and let it reroot. Just don't let it get soggy. I like to use a spray bottle to root succulents....See MorePlease help me diagnose what's happening with my succulent!
Comments (3)Is the soil wet? If it is (wet), pull the plant/soil out of the pot and expose it to the air. If it's /dry/ then take it to the sink and fill the pot with water and wait for it to run out the bottom. Tell us what it does, does it go around the edges and almost immediately exit the bottom holes or does it seem like it's taking it a while to exit?...See MoreWhat happened to my succulents?
Comments (6)Your sempervivum looks OK, only a bit lacking in light. They can be grown indoors but they need a lot of sun. Your semp has flowered and you are seeing a normal flower stalk. The main plant will now die, leaving the pups around it to continue the plant. You should cut the pups off and let them root as separate plants and repot one back into the pot, otherwise you are going to be left with a gap in the pot and the pups hanging outside. The other one is an echevaria and also showing a litlle lack of light. You can cut the top off it, let it heal for a week and reroot it before planting it back into the pot. Otherwise it will have a long stalk with leaves at the top from now on. Give them as much sun as you can from now on....See MoreWhat happened to my succulent??
Comments (3)Ah yes! Very important. Gradually over 2 weeks, to prevent sunburn....See Moresocks
