So hereā€™s an interesting find. I got this variety of succulent plants from a Trader Joeā€™s store about 3 weeks ago. Iā€™ve used this app to identify each plant, which include: echeveria, ghost plant, jade plant, jade plant ā€˜horn treeā€™, ogre ears, greeneā€™s liveforever, and shooting star golden sedum. This totals to 7 different plants, which I got for $6. Now that I think about it, a pretty good deal. They all came planted together in one 6ā€ terracotta pot. My question is, can I leave these plants together, or should I remove them and repot each one individually in their own separate pots? I want them to thrive and Iā€™m not sure if leaving them together would be the best option for them, even though they look really great together. Your input is appreciated! c:

    You need a very small planter if you really plant.

    Hereā€™s my plant. Itā€™s only three different plants now. And itā€™s doing good

      Iā€™m thinking about re planting the elephant plant ( you didnā€™t get that one) but Iā€™m afraid it might die. If I mess with it. So far itā€™s ok. Succulents like being a bit root bound

      Thanks for your advice! Yeah Iā€™m thinking it might be best to repot them all into tiny pots. Idk if I would be good for all of them to get their roots all tangled up with each other. Your plant looks pretty good!

      Your welcome. I thought the same thing. I probably would never buy another multi plant again. lol. Iā€™m watching to see if the elephant plant gets too big, Iā€™ll replant that one. I just bottom watered it today. This isnā€™t regular soul or even succulent soil. It stays very dry.

      Yeah I noticed that about the soil too! I feel like it could easily be a trap for overwatering too since most people know to water when the soil is dry. But if itā€™s always dry, then the plant is going to constantly have water and could possibly lead to issues

      I only bottom water this plant. I never soak it and I only water it when the app tells me too. If itā€™s damp I wonā€™t water it I think itā€™s appropriate potting mix for succulents cause they hate damp soil. So far this plant is doing GREAT with this potting soil and infrequent waterings. The dry soil is a plus

    I would separate them all personally

    i would separate either most or all. like Ma G said, you can leave a few with similar care needs in a pot together, but itā€™s important that everyone is getting enough light. plus a bigger pot means more soil which means it takes longer to dry out in between and you never ever want to over water a succulent!

      Exactly.

      as you can kinda see here, this plant is stretching to find light, which means it isnā€™t getting enough. succulents will stretch a little with normal growth but this looks more like trying to fix a need

      Also maybe itā€™s crowded out Iā€™d remove that part

      Iā€™d never put this in a bigger planter. Thatā€™s the surest way to kill a succulent cause the soil will stay wet too long

    Btw. Iā€™ve never had problems with Trader Joeā€™s plants. They do a great job ( whoever they get their plants from) and affordable.
