# I work in a hospital setting with some bright window (sills) but…

_Posted by Sabu on 2024-05-14_

I work in a hospital setting with some bright window (sills) but these babies were sitting neglected and leggy in bone dry “soil” looked more like dirt from a playground very sandy-in a shady corner. I asked if we had a plant mom, and nope nobody wanted to care for them so I took them all home dumped the old soil, submerged the plants in water to soak while I washed their pots and made a cactus mix of perlite and garden soil. I repotted them and look how cute they are!! Hoping they explode in size now that they are refreshed!

I actually like the legginess of them! I saw this on youtube recently and loved the look of it. Hope your succulents thrive under your care ❤️
