When some of my succulents stretch over the winter, I need to repot them into lil’ dinky pots so they can start fresh! Yes, I know I need to get a grow light 🙄

    ooo I hadn’t heard the term ‘start over’ before. So do you completely dismantle the original stretchy plants into props or just grab a few cuttings off to start over?

    I need to get a grow light too :/

      Depends on the plant. Most of them, you can snip the top off and pull off any remaining leaves that are stretched. Then plant the stub directly in dirt, wait a few days to heal and it’ll continue to do it’s succulent thing like it always did. I usually save the leaves I pulled off for propagation after.

    Grow lights are kind of a pain in the ass, to be fair. I think these heads look pretty good for a winter! Healthy and still have some color. I wish you quick successful rooting!
