Does anyone know anything (tips/pointers) on how yo care for a Mother Of Thousands? Mine is growing extremely fast and I think I may need to repot it soon. Haven’t even had it a year and it’s growing up super fast! Here’s a pic of it.

    I have a lil one that I grew from a pup and basically care for it like any other succulent! Let the soil dry out all the way. To check soil moisture, use a moisture meter, soil sleuth, or a wooden skewer (with this method if any soil sticks to the skewer it’s still wet). It’s a great sign that it’s growing fast so I’m sure you’re giving proper care :) succulents enjoy bright light and if you want to plant the pups, just place them on damp soil to root!

      I definitely think planta tells me to water too often. You can use the skewer tip for the snake plant too and water when the soil is dry :)

      Totally agree. Half the time it’s telling me to water my plants, I have to skip them or snooze them for a week. Always use a water meter.

      I wondered about a water meter. Do you have a particular one that you use?

      I got mine on Amazon and I think it was XLUX brand.

      I agree on the snake plant, I usually skip one or two reminders and wait for the soil to dry out.

    Oh and you may want to check the roots after a while. That plant looks quite large for the pot so the root system may want some more room eventually. And if you don’t fertilize make sure you change soil at least once a year.

    Make sure you don’t overwater and once you find where it’s happy, don’t move it. I had a gorgeous one and I did both those things and I killed it. I think it’s time for me to get another one.

    In case you didn’t realize, each one of those rosettes on the edges of the leaves is another plant. If you bump it and they fall off, toss them into another pot. You’ll have a whole nursery in a very short time!

      Yes, that’s what everyone is saying! I’m going to do just that…thanks for the suggestion.
