Hey guys! My little plant isn’t doing so well, he was  
Decapitated when I was traveling. Any advice to keep growing it even from the broken piece? (I forgot the word my brain isn’t braining)

You could pop all the petals only and propagate those! Thad base will likely start growing a new head if you leave it rooted! You could also flip over the decapitated head and plop it right in the soil. Give it a couple days then keep it moist and it could grow roots and keep growing. Basically now you have at least two succulents haha

Thanks so much! I’ll try to propagate some and just leave it so I’ll have so many mini Cherri’s (that’s it’s name) Thanks again have a nice day!
