# My brother in law committed “involuntary plantslaughter” at my house…

_Publié par Two Green Thumbs le 2023-09-05_

My brother in law committed “involuntary plantslaughter” at my house today …. He feels really bad about it. Does anyone know if an echeveria can recover from getting decapitated? Below is the before and after.

Yes it can!!  
With the part in the pot:  
Just water it as you would usually do and it will start growing again.  
With the top part:  
You can either put it on a windowsill and forget about for a few months or put it in water and change out the water regularly and soon you will have roots!!
