Poor Rocky didn’t survive my trip to Mexico! 😫🪴 He’s headed to the graveyard soon to be with his brother, Granite, and sister, Nettie! Anyone have advice for my next split rock attempt!?

I have seven split rocks. The one planter of five is about 3 years old. My only care is watering them thoroughly whenever the outer leaves are soft.

Hmmm….looks like I have more than I thought. The pair is actually one plant though.

Man, yours look so awesome and happy! I think what happened to Rocky is that while I was gone for 4 days I left my ac set to 80…it was close to 100 outside (I think the air was too humid and not circulating enough)

Now that you say that, I realize I have a fan blowing over my succulents and the rocks are closest to it. That may be a factor. Other side of room I have a humidifier running 24/7 for my tropical plants. The fan keeps the humidity away from the succulents.
