# I’ve had this succulent for almost 7 years! It seems to not be doing…

_Posted by KC on 2025-04-14_

I’ve had this succulent for almost 7 years! It seems to not be doing well due to the long stems and tiny leaves. I repotted it to the mason jar probably about 5 years ago but haven’t done much to it since. Should I repot it? Can I propagate it to be less lengthy? Please help!

\*\*I haven’t had much of a green thumb but am excited to learn more about plant care🙂🌿

I would definitely take it out of the Mason Jar, repot it in chunky cactus and succulent soil, I usually get Soil Sunrise and add chunky perlite and my cactus and succulent thrive so much. Also, I never can get succulents to propagate for me, I'm just gonna give you my opinion on repotting 😉🌿💚 That's unique how your plant baby has grown, Maybe it's just needing repotted.

Yes Mason jars have no drainage so that's prob the problem
