# I got this little rectangular pot over a year ago and quickly lost…

_Posted by Kristina on 2026-05-26_

I got this little rectangular pot over a year ago and quickly lost the succulents that were first in it. I reused it for my ghost plant and gold bug BUT I think it may be too cluttered.  
Thoughts? Should I separate them?

Notes: porcelain pot, drainage hole, succulent mix soil and 2ft from south facing window

Separated would probably be best. And there may be powdery mildew on the larger.
