# Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with this succulent?…

_Posted by GratefulGardener on 2024-08-19_

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with this succulent? He’s just growing out of control! Do I cut off the bottom shoots and chop it in half and try to plant those cuttings? Do they need to callus first or just plant them in soil directly? Please send advice. Thanks!

cut it down and put it in a sunnier spot — southern facing window is best, or a grow light but make sure it’s close enough to it. you can propagate any of the leaves by just setting them into of some soil and forgetting about them until they have roots

Thanks! I think I will try to propagate the leaves as you suggested.

OR you can embrace the wildness
