# Hello! Im rather new to the plant care scene and one of my first…

_Posted by Quill on 2024-03-16_

Hello! Im rather new to the plant care scene and one of my first plants was this little succulent, I tired repotting it nearly 6 months ago but it dropped all its leaves and this was the only one I could get to root again. I can’t remember what sort of succulent it is and well Id like to help it grow a bit more.

Any help is appreciated!

My suggestion, don’t water it, get it into full, all day sun, and make sure the soil is a sandy, perlite, cactus soil mix with drainage. Leave it alone until you see a new sprout then pull away the shriveled leaf and start watering it then. And only when it’s completely dry.

Got it! Thank you!

The biggest propagation mistakes for succulents are over watering, and time. It takes a long time so be patient. ❤️
