# I found this cute little succulent at a nursery today! I repotted in…

_Posted by Claire Dawson on 2026-05-09_

I found this cute little succulent at a nursery today! I repotted in cactus soil and drilled drainage into this boot vase I was gifted and I think it looks very nice. Does anyone have any tips for this guy? I’m new to this

It’s beautiful! I think I’ve tried 3 times at least and my current one is just about dead as well. Idk what I am doing wrong. I’ve tried less water more water less light more light. I can’t get it right. Wishing you luck!

Oh nooo! I’m new to plants but have had really good luck with all of them so far so I’m going to keep running on vibes and hopefully this babe will thrive too

I’m sure it will be just fine! I’m fairly new as well and took on way too many plants way too fast. It’s been challenging but I absolutely love it so onward I go!
