Goodness, this one looks so cool. Haven’t seen one like it!

In this case I think it was giving it time to heal and build back mostly!

When I first got it I made the mistake of adding liquid fertilizer immediately after putting it in its pot. I’m imagining there were some damaged roots during the transfer… the next day it was pretty much all dead leaves. I removed them all and that’s where the first picture was taken.

I live in Florida, so thankfully there’s plenty of sun for them. I just let it sit out in full sun since then, and watered sparingly!

Yessss, the low poly comparison is perfect. Exactly what I love about these. The little jewel name suits em really well!

This was one of the first plants I got when I started, I’ll put some pictures together soon. Love how it’s grown since then.

No need to apologize! I can relate a bit, I’m often extremely forgetful!

Side note: Didn’t want to make a new post so soon, but I was excited to share this with someone. Check this out, managed to take this early today!

Likewise 😂

Awwww yeahhhh!! Looking forwards to seeing their progress.

Love seeing group shots!! You have so many cool ones I’ve never seen. What is the one you have sitting on the wall in the back, second from the left?!

Awwww yeahhh! They really blew up ☀️ Will be putting them in their new pots today. Really excited for the red to come back in!

January of this year:

I hear you! I’d like to move out of state at some point & that is one problem that’d weigh a bunch on me.

Goodness, with the Moonstones I recently caught on that I didn’t research what kind of climate it originated from! Happened to me a few times..

Acclimated them to the sun, had em’ out there for months and realized there was absolutely no growth whatsoever since I first got them.

I threw them inside about a month ago and it’s been blowing up so much! If I left them out I think they’d pretty much be dormant the whole year 😂

Thank you for easing my concern a bit about getting my last batch 😂

Love these, my favorites are the tall one in the tan pot and the one on the bottom right! Does it have a distinct smell?

I get a pretty great amount of light year round, I live in Florida, US. I personally hate the heat and blazing sun, but love that these get to take advantage of it!

I’ve been taking care of them for about a year now, last winter I moved them all in during the few nights we had temperatures under 35°F and would move them right back out during the day! Thankfully they’ve all handled it pretty well.

I do have a grow light for a Pink Moonstone I have & the little cuttings I try to grow & return outside!

Love catching them hanging around the plants, I need to be more prepared with my camera early in the morning!

Yes! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw it, I thought the thing was fake. It’s one thing I love about a lot of succulents in general, a lot of them look so unnatural to me. Especially up close!

Yes! I think they stole the show for me with this bunch. Really excited to spend some time to take pictures soon, especially of the Submammillaris!

Thank you so much! Always loved taking macro shots, it’s been really fun taking some of the plants and practicing a bit.

Yes, I’m using glass! I haven’t seen anyone using them either, was a bit nervous that it could prevent growth with so much light beaming through them. Just been slowly testing it out for the last 4-5 months on a few of them!

Someone cracking windshields for their succulent collection is a funny visual to imagine 😂

I don’t think the glass would be too bad in general after having used it for a bit. I’ve been seeing growth coming out from them, the Alien in particular has been doing really well. I have been a lil’ selective about what pieces I throw on just in case!

I bought it from KongerGarden over at Etsy!

Unfortunately they’re sold out of it right now, but just in case the listing is here and the store itself here.

I don’t have another cooperi to compare the growth to(….yet 😂) I feel it has been a slow grower though!

Fooook! Got a small little branch as a gift and was ecstatic, it’d be nuts to me to just walk by something like that. They’re one of my favorites.

Ooooohhhh, I love the one on the top left!

Wishing you all the best, hope you’ll feel better soon!

Thank you! Caught it early in the morning as the sun was rising.

I believe there’s a few that have been resting on them at night, would love to catch a night photo at some point.

Here’s a bonus baby lizard I got!
