Thank you so much! I’ll do that. #### Succulent❤️Mama님이 2024-05-26에 답변했습니다. Although that is great advice for a lot of plants, succulents actually need the opposite. They usually have small, slow growing, root systems and need a smaller pot. A pot bigger than their roots can cause root rot because they can’t reach all the water. They actually need surprisingly small pots sometimes. And they don’t usually mind being a little root bound. They need to sit in dry dirt between waterings so you are absolutely right that they need drainage. Just wanted to clear the other part up in case you had any succulents. ### Kat님이 2024-05-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. I had one of these and ended up killing it. Yours is beautiful! #### FiddlerOnTheRoof님이 2024-05-25에 답변했습니다. Thank you so much! ### Maddi님이 2024-05-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. What I did for most of my plants was repot them into clear nursery pots with drainage, and then placed the nursery pots into decorative ones #### FiddlerOnTheRoof님이 2024-05-25에 답변했습니다. I’ll try that! Thanks! ### Vincent님이 2024-05-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. Same size pot but you need drainage. As you are reporting you can check to make sure the roots haven’t overgrown and them a little trim if they have #### FiddlerOnTheRoof님이 2024-05-25에 답변했습니다. Ok! Thanks! #### Succulent❤️Mama님이 2024-05-26에 답변했습니다. If you are going to trim the roots, please leave it out of the dirt to dry for a few days. They usually have small root systems though so it probably wouldn’t need any trimming. ### Riley님이 2024-05-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. These plants tend to have very small root systems, so I would repot in a pot of the same size with drainage in succulent and cactus soil #### FiddlerOnTheRoof님이 2024-05-25에 답변했습니다. Thanks! ### Succulent❤️Mama님이 2024-05-26에 댓글을 남겼어요. I agree with all the comments saying it needs drainage. Like all succulents they need well draining soil and a drainage hole. But with my limited aeonium experience, it seems they need water more often than other succulents since their leaves are thinner. So still only water after the soil has been dry and the leaves get more pliable, but expect it sooner than other succulents. Most succulents have small root systems so they need small pots to be able to suck up more water. They actually don’t mind getting root bound a bit too. #### FiddlerOnTheRoof님이 2024-05-26에 답변했습니다. Thank you so much! I learn something new every day! ### Succulent❤️Mama님이 2024-05-26에 댓글을 남겼어요. That pot is so pretty!😍 #### FiddlerOnTheRoof님이 2024-05-26에 답변했습니다. Thank you! My mom gave it to me for my birthday. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
