Reo is living on Mom's porch now to get more sun. She was wilting, but is starting to look a bit better now! Fingers crossed🤞🏻

    I could be wrong, but it looks like the roots might be staying a bit too wet. The coco liner can hold a lot of moisture, and the rocks on top may actually slow the soil from drying out. With plants like this, the grit usually works better mixed into the soil rather than sitting on top so the roots get good airflow and the mix dries between waterings. 🌿

      Thank you!! What kind of pot do you recommend if you don't mind my asking?

      Terracotta would probably be best but if you don’t have terracotta plastic is fine, keep the pot on the smaller size, about 1” bigger than the root ball. I water my desert plants/ succulents from the bottom, many are temperamental about their leaves getting wet

      Thanks so much!! We have small terracotta at home! Any specific sand or other particle reccomendations to mix into the soil for better drainage? It's very hard to find these things online, especially with limited vision. I really do appreciate your help!
