Although I do love a beautiful arrangement, and you def have that going on 😁

You have made a terrible mistake. Each one will turn into its own succulent. Your best bet is to find people you don’t like and give one of each rooted petal to them. They reproduce exponentially, but it’ll take a few months to root and petal so you have some time to make enemies

I didn’t know better until my prop box was full, and it’s now a subtle prank I play on other plant parents. The only succulents I keep now are strings of things under threat of my wife 😂

Yes I end up having to throw some away because I have hundreds all from one plant 😭

yep that’s fine! but from personal experience, i recommend sticking the ends into the soil so the roots can grow embedded into the soil, otherwise they’ll grow all over the place up in the air. i stick mine up against the pot so it has room for a lot more leaves! hope this helps💚
