# I just brought home 2 big succulents from my MIL who asked me to give…

_Posted by Green thumb novice on 2026-09-13_

I just brought home 2 big succulents from my MIL who asked me to give them some life. So I went to get some succulent soil and just happened to walk past clearance section. I mean, really… what can I do when these two flaming violets land in my cart in a blink of an eye? Right?

Well, since somehow they made it home with me, I’m going to do my best to turn their fate around. They are not really in bad shape though so hopefully will be quick. I trimmed a lot of the dead leaves off in the pics.

The succulents on the other hand will be more of a challenge. Will need to roll up my sleeves to get in there 🤣
