Ever since getting this new plant stand, my cats have been knocking leaves off this succulent. It’s so bare now and I’m worried it won’t make it 😭 Is there anything I can do to help this guy grow back?

You could cut the bare stems back to the pot so they’re a few inches long and it should grow new growth from the ends of the cut stems

I second this! Sounds crazy to cut it back that far, but cutting it should activate the lower nodes for new growth

My suggestion would be to baby it until spring (unless you live in a warm area), then repot by cutting off the top few inches and planting them back in the pot. You will get new growth from the stems!

If you can keep it warm and bright, you probably won’t have to wait until spring!
