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. Havenā€™t even had it a year and itā€™s growing up super fast! Hereā€™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 itā€™s still wet). Itā€™s a great sign that itā€™s growing fast so Iā€™m sure youā€™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 itā€™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 donā€™t fertilize make sure you change soil at least once a year.

    Make sure you donā€™t overwater and once you find where itā€™s happy, donā€™t move it. I had a gorgeous one and I did both those things and I killed it. I think itā€™s time for me to get another one.

    In case you didnā€™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. Youā€™ll have a whole nursery in a very short time!

      Yes, thatā€™s what everyone is saying! Iā€™m going to do just thatā€¦thanks for the suggestion.
