Please help 🪴 I have this big one… it’s a mix of different plants/succulents. I feel like they need more love and care and possibly be separated and I don’t know where to begin because that one has spikes lol I could probably cut some what do ya think 🤔?

Looks like they are all reaching. Have you used the light meter in planta?

#### Butterfliesred antwortete am 2023-06-14

Never heard of a light meter on here. Where do I find it?

#### Butterfliesred antwortete am 2023-06-14

This planter sits right at the window. I thought it was the best place for it because of the natural lighting.

You need Planta Premium. Not sure where to find it.

I have a similar project… check out my recent post.

If I were going to separate them I would probably wrap the large thorny one loosely but supportively with (a) large paper bag(s) (tied to secure) and wear leather gloves. I would try first to remove the smaller ones to repot then deal with the largest. Each would probably benefit from individualized care. Unless you want to repot all of them in a bigger pot together

Sounds like a great idea thank you so much I will keep ya posted. I’m going to try to do this Saturday.
