I don’t know the answer but where did you get the planter pot? #### Mothman님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. I made it! It’s out of oven-bake Sculpey clay. You can get it at Michael’s! #### Kate님이 2024-02-25에 답변했습니다. I’ve been thinking of trying out making pots at home! What kind of paints did you use? Did you seal it with anything after? #### Mothman님이 2024-02-25에 답변했습니다. For this one I didn’t seal it with anything! For the paints I mixed a couple lying around; just make sure they’re waterproof! I hope you have fun making them if you do! Have a great day/night! ### Mfinch님이 2024-02-24에 댓글을 남겼어요. Yes those look like flower buds to me, though I don’t know much about this species. #### Mothman님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. Ok thank you! ### Pchee님이 2024-02-24에 댓글을 남겼어요. Wow that’s amazing! It’s adorable. ### Chrissy님이 2024-02-24에 댓글을 남겼어요. Ok, don’t think I’m crazy or don’t feel like you have to do this but I actually cut OFF the buds because it puts more stress on the main plant because it’s adding energy to the buds. If you cut the stems off, carefully pick off each leaf and throw it into a ziploc bag. Put it in a lighted place but not full, direct sun. In my opinion, these are the easiest succulents to propagate! #### Mothman님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. Thank you! This is really great advice and I will follow it! I might not cut off the flower buds just yet because I think the plant is doing well enough to handle some stress. But I will propagate the succulent like you said. When should I propagate him? I also think that you’re actually very smart for cutting the buds off! #### Chrissy님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. You can propagate a grown leaf with a clean break from the stem anytime. When I repot in March, I take all my leaves and propagate (it takes a LONG time). By summer they have roots and buds and I arrange them in a pot. I throw them in full sun on my porch and have SO many by fall I’m giving them away! The picture is a pot I started in the fall. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EDXVyXk5-iWLv0smHZbvkuqsW5wavsTh9sRcbmARV-0/eIqNW8T6QfC2KgrtLHxQsg.webp?size=large) #### Chrissy님이 2024-02-24에 답변했습니다. Btw - I am also treating it for bugs (not sure what kind) so some of the leaves are a little wonky. Damn pests! #### Mothman님이 2024-02-25에 답변했습니다. Haha! That’s awesome! Thank you again for the advice! Have a great day/night! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
