I can’t grow succulents. I don’t own succulents, but, they live in my yard. 😄 I have a history of killing them with love! I do too much and overthink it because I don’t want to be a serial succulent killer. So, I threw the last 3 Kalanchoe Laxiflora leaves into an old pot with some old dirt in it. And they are thriving…on the north side of my house without my intervention! They are spreading, multiplying and just bloomed at Christmas because it’s 80°F in South Texas. 🪴🍀🔥🥵

They will be gone by New Year’s Day when the temperature drops close to freezing. 🥶 Bipolar weather.
