# I was debating whether to post this on the Circle or on the problems…

_Publicado por BotanicalBookworm\_13 el 2023-10-25_

I was debating whether to post this on the Circle or on the problems page but I assumed y’all know a bit more bout succulents here.  
So a little while ago I beheaded my little Jewel plant because it was so leggy. But it’s been like 3-4 months and usually my succs root very quickly but this one has not rooted very well at all! It has maybe 2-3 roots that are very short! I am worried he will not root very well. Anything helps! Plz tell me if there is anything I can do or if it is normal!  
Second problem is my bear paw succulent had struggled with under-watering a year back. Since he is a succulent he dropped many leaves at the bottom and of course will never grow back. It looks terrible! I was debating cutting off the growth and re-rooting it and seeing if it will feel better? Tell me what you guys think.  
Third is I have a flaming Katy. And she is getting rly leggy and she is falling out of the pot and I was again debating if I should behead her? Again what do you guys think!

Thanks again for any help you can provide! Have a good Wednesday! ✌️❤️

Yep beheading and starting over is the way to go and adding more light so they don’t get leggy again. Get some rooting powder and it helps them root faster. Use it on your Jewel plant too it should help.
