i recently had to put my 16 year old dog to sleep and potted some succulents into her food bowl as a memorial, but they're not doing too well :( i have them under a grow light and i follow planta's watering schedule, but they're definitely not looking great. if anyone has any tips on how to get them thriving again please let me know! attaching a photo of when i first potted them & how they look now (also a pic of daisy for good luck đź’•)
I’m so sorry about your doggo 🥺 are you watering when the soil is completely dry?

We recently had to do the same thing with one of our dogs. I love your tribute to Daisy. We plant the ashes with a tree. It could be the needs are too dissimilar for everyone to be happy. You might consider marking it a single specimen pot. Good luck with the pot!
2 Likes i love that đź’“ such a good way to remember them that's interesting, i hadn't thought about that.. i'll have to do some research on the types of succulents i have and go from there. thank you!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t image having them for that long and having to put them to sleep. ❤️❤️ Planta isn’t the best for watering things, they tend to overwater. Take it as a suggestion.

I’m so sorry to hear about your puppy. I unfortunately understand that pain. I just do cut flowers in my kitty’s water dish
so beautiful
