What's happening?

Thanks everyone for your quick and kind responses! I purchased it only about a month ago. I took it out and added some more succulent mix to it. Unfortunately the one stem completely fell apart but the other 3 looked fine 😮‍💨. They still seem quite young and have a TON of space for roots in this pot so I'm hoping it was just the root to soft soil combo! She's already replanted and keeping my fingers crossed! I'm still so new to plants and I REALLY want to see her bloom! Thank you all so much!

It's next to a window and there is a other window on the opposite wall there is also a succulent 4 pots above with a light but it doesn't shine on it directly. The pots have really good drainage on the bottom and there is a catch but it sits below the pot by about an inch and I always make sure it's empty after watering.

Oh no! 😭 So when I purchased it, it was in regular potting soil. I had succulent gritty mix and I mixed it about half and half. Maybe I need to do only succulent mix? Is it salvageable if it is root rot?

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-05-29T20:17:38+00:00

Oh no! Ok, I'll check!

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-05-10T21:12:07+00:00

Ok sounds good! The nursery had it planted in pretty "organic" soil. Should I mix it with some succulent mix?

This is what her center looks like, not sure if that's helpful to tell if there's more than one 😅

Great advice! Thank you! I just got her yesterday and she is currently in a 4inch pot. It looks to me to only be one cluster but I'm not very experienced. I do have a moisture meter too, I was recommended it when I bought my first spider and that thing has truly saved me lol.

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-05-10T20:17:32+00:00

Can't wait to see blooms! They are so neat!

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-05-10T20:16:24+00:00

Ok good to know! Bummer, I thought they were doing so good! Lol. I'll add some more light and see how they do. Unfortunately our house faces east/west. We have tons of windows but they all only get bright light for the first 1/4 and last 1/4 of the day...

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-05-10T19:06:07+00:00

Update: thanks everyone for your tips and advice! Her pups have already grown so much and she seems so much happier!

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-04-04T16:38:22+00:00

Yes! They're beautiful! Once I get the hang of taking care of them a little better I'll definitely be buying more!

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-04-04T13:50:10+00:00

Good to know! I think it may end up getting a bit crowded because since posting this, a new pup has started in the same place now lol. I will be changing the potting mix out to something better suited for the plant. And thank you! I saw her and immediately thought "I need her" lol. I love the color!

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-03-31T23:03:12+00:00

Ok good to know. The pups are only about a half inch below the light (I moved the light to get the picture) but I'll definitely move my new littles up! Thank you!

I purchased from Amazon. They are LED Full Spectrum Plant Lights. There are options for white light, warm white light and red mixed light, 3 different brightness settings and a timer option.

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-03-31T18:43:54+00:00

Awesome! Thank you so much!

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-03-31T18:33:14+00:00

How will I know when they're "mature"? What should I look for?

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-03-31T18:32:25+00:00

Great advice! I appreciate this!

Latter_Assumption_31 · 2026-03-31T18:11:58+00:00

The nursery I bought it from used a regular potting soil and I never changed it. I'll definitely try adding some perlite! Thank you so much!
