Chopped all the strands off my burro tail succulent cause the pot was getting too heavy and too long. Will dry the ends overnight and repot them. This is the 8th time I have done this from the same original plant I got years ago. Such a forgiving plant and very resilient.

I do this with my sedum NOID every six-ish months! They root so easily
