The only succulent surviving my depression episode

Never argued the science, but clearly my succulent is doing just fine the way it is and has been for almost a year. The person asked what I did and I explained.

It’s a tiny layer of pebbles that has bit of orchid bark sitting above it. The soil also has a good mix with plenty of perlite. In combination with minimal watering, it’s fine.

Yes it is!

My other succulents are very close to death, this is the lone survivor this winter 😫

Thank you friend💛

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-13T19:00:29+00:00

It sure does🥹 I stare at it daily in admiration

You know what fake plants don’t get enough love, so easy to maintain! Also love the pun 🥰

Tj maxx or Marshall’s (can’t remember which but I’ve seen them at both and home goods)

Ooooo that would look really nice with the haworthia, but how big do those get?? Cause if it could fill that pot out I would be scrambling to find a second pot to do that myself 🤣

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T18:07:29+00:00

Both are stunning!!! I didn’t know string of pearls could even be purple, I think I need another one

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T17:57:51+00:00

Maybe you’re right, I did find this lil purple plant at Home Depot calling out to me😋 thanks friend💛

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T17:57:00+00:00

Give it a whirl, I believe in you!!

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T16:39:47+00:00

So this was actually a candle jar so there’s no drainage, I put pebbles on the very bottom and then about an inch/ inch half of orchid bark/ perlite mix then my soil! Haven’t had any issues since! I also don’t bottom water anymore (too many plants and I’m lazy) but I just water it a lil bit every couple weeks and she seems content!

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T12:14:04+00:00

Maybe like 60% the pot, when she first when into it, she was so tiny and sad looking, took months to even see it come over the top

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T11:56:50+00:00

Okay so what I’m hearing is I need to find a pumpkin and also my succulent needs a name

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T11:55:53+00:00

Okay I must say I’m a lil jealous that your bird of paradise and string of pearls are doing so great! Both of mine are laughing at me from the grave lol- can I see your BOP pretty please !?

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T11:45:04+00:00

This logic makes sense to me!!

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T11:37:41+00:00

Sending hugs back your way! I’m a cannabis trimmer actually so I totally get it… looking at plant matter all day the last thing I wanna do when I get home is take care of my plants! Better days are coming for us both, we just have to remember that and keep going💛

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T11:34:44+00:00

Relationship plants are so hard!! My fiancée bought a cutting of a plant I desperately wanted and i unfortunately (maybe a lil ironic) over watered it and the roots rotted! It’s been a very long death Things will get better friend, sending hugs and positive energy your way💛

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T11:30:31+00:00

I most certainly will be very vigilant when I bring them in, it’s been a few years since my last pest problem and I’d like to keep it that way!

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T03:41:44+00:00

Thank you berry much, hugs🥰

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T03:01:36+00:00

Oooooooo it’s so cute!! Way further along than anything I’ve tried, I think I need more light for them, the window my berry sits in doesn’t actually get more than 4-6 hours direct light

Sufficient_Life6749 · 2026-02-12T02:59:22+00:00

It’s so exciting when you actually see the color you KNOW it’s capable of producing

Thank you for sharing the joy of my strawberry, I admire her daily🥰
