Hi everyone!!! 🌱 🪴🦋 I was gifted a succulent by my sister, and I have never had one before.

Could anyone possibly tell me how she looks?? And if those cool leg baby arms need tending to?? I’ve had her for about two-three months and THINK each burst got a little bigger ?

I really don’t have much knowledge about her, so anything would be AMAZING!

The brown spots scare me….. I really have no idea what health she is….

Looks like you’ve taken great care of it so far!! I’d remove the old, dry brown leaves (you can use tweezers or your fingers). Also, you don’t have to mist your succulents :)

Thank you so much!!! This helps a lot. Should I leave the arms be? I saw one post saying maybe spread them out like an octopus 🐙🤣

You can leave them if you like the octopus look!!🐙 Otherwise you can chop and prop (cut and propagate, there’s lots of tutorials online)
