Hi I just started using this app. Anyone knows how to save my succulents?

They were all from one single plant. I separated and repot repotted them. I used to put them in my bedroom with very limited sun and they are dying. I’m now putting them in my balcony. Thinking about getting some new soil.

Be sure to use potting mix for succulents which has very good drainage.

Use small pots for small cuttings. The pot should be slightly bigger than the root ball. Too much soil around a plant will hold excess water the plant can’t use and leads to root rot. The plant should be able to dry out the soil between watering.

Thank you so much Sunny! Didn’t think about the pot size issue.

No problem! Just think about the tiny pots succulents are sold in. They have just enough soil to get water to the roots.
