Hi friends!

I suckkkk at succulents. I’ve killed almost every succulent or cactus I’ve ever had. My moon cactus lost its flower, and it grew legs so I replanted them.  
The only thing I can keep alive is my Thanksgiving Cactus! And my aloe.

I find it very funny that the easiest variety of plants, I cannot keep alive.

Does anyone else kill succulents??

Sun and neglect. That’s all they need!

Exactly. I think I’m a helicopter plant parent.

Same! I’ve been fiddling with my plants since repotting because it’s my happy place.

### Sherri commented on 2024-03-20

I have killed my fair share of succulents 🤣

### Stephanie🎋 commented on 2024-03-20

I have killed a couple of succulents because I am an overwater person 😅

### RoseRed commented on 2024-03-20

Beautiful! Great succulent parent :)

### Lolly commented on 2024-03-20

Yea me over here! I can’t keep ANYTHING that looks remotely like a succulent/cactus. Im more a tropical kinda girl 😂

### Leafmealone commented on 2024-03-20

If you tend to overwater, terra-cotta pots are great. I also use a very rocky soil from bonsai jack. It’s a game changer!

### Klein commented on 2024-03-20

Same here! Believe me I try, the ironic part is my partner works in landscaping and will now ask if there as any plants of mine he need to save XD

### Chrissy commented on 2024-03-20

The main thing is that they need A LOT of sun, more than anything inside can provide. If you can acclimate them into the full sun once the weather gets warmer, move them outside. You will thank me when they grow huge. ❤️
