# My mom had recently asked me to take care of her plant for her, shes…

_Postat av Mothy\_Monday den 2023-12-30_

My mom had recently asked me to take care of her plant for her, shes had it ever since 2018-19 I believe. When she asked me to take care of it I realized its in pretty bad condition. It is a candle plant. Some of its leaves are yellow and brown, so I decided to do some deadleafing. The only problem is its “branches” break really easily. I named the plant Artis, he droops down from the pot as well. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to give him a little succulent makeover lol.

You’ve got a couple species in there! The string of tears (?) in the bottom looks good, but you could pull it out and slowly acclimate it to more light for a glow up. Not sure what the other guy is exactly, but with leggy succulents, I usually chop and prop. It looks dramatic at first, but usually activates new growth!
