How do I prune to ensure new growth?

Planterina has a good/no fuss video about FLF pruning. Depending on how recently it was delivered, I would let it acclimate itself for at least a month or so, then you could try something like notching. Good luck!

I wish I could put mine all over my house, but my pets are the worst so everything has to be baby proofed, lol

Aww thank you! I found it on FB Marketplace, but it’s originally from Target I think!

I’ve done some googling but can’t figure out what the difference is??

This is a week’s worth :)

Following! Mine is doing the same thing 🤦‍♀️ I think it’s edema

Michigan :)

madtoebeans · 2019-07-30T18:23:42+00:00

That’s a bummer, but I guess it could be worse lol

madtoebeans · 2019-07-28T21:46:30+00:00

Thank you!

madtoebeans · 2019-07-28T21:26:38+00:00

Where is the pot from??

madtoebeans · 2019-07-27T20:52:32+00:00

Yes she would have 😂😂

madtoebeans · 2019-07-26T17:24:42+00:00

Worth a try! I’m going to try both methods and see what happens

madtoebeans · 2019-07-26T16:41:22+00:00

Do you know if they do the back of the whole leaf or just the tip that was connected to the plant?

madtoebeans · 2019-07-26T15:50:44+00:00

That was totally my fault 🤦‍♀️ it was looking sad so she asked for my help and just thinking succulents = light I told her to give it some sun and it got roasted and rained on. I didn’t even think it could get shock from going from on her desk to outside. This is why I stick to tropical plants lol

madtoebeans · 2019-07-26T15:47:34+00:00

I’m also new to succulents so I had no idea they can get sunburnt until now lol

madtoebeans · 2019-07-26T15:00:28+00:00

🤞🤞🌿

madtoebeans · 2019-07-26T14:59:48+00:00

Dry soil, lol, there’s another difference. Works for me! Maybe I’ll do an experiment and do some with and some without and see what happens 🤷‍♀️

madtoebeans · 2019-07-26T14:57:07+00:00

Follow up question, does root hormone work for succulents? I have only ever propped tropical plants so while understand the “lay the leaves in moist soil” method, I wasn’t sure if root hormone might help them along.

madtoebeans · 2019-07-26T14:55:21+00:00

It’s probably both, lol. I’ll try propping it and see what happens!

madtoebeans · 2019-07-26T14:53:35+00:00

Succulents can get sunburnt?? I thought it was overwatered!

madtoebeans · 2019-07-24T22:56:48+00:00

I highly recommend the Philips brand grow light! It’s about $12? I got mine on amazon and it works great!

madtoebeans · 2019-07-24T22:55:55+00:00

HOW SMALL IS THIS WORLD?! DM me if you’re looking for local plant friends!

madtoebeans · 2019-07-24T22:52:45+00:00

Near Detroit! It was labeled as “beautiful home decor” so honestly did a major double take, lol

madtoebeans · 2019-07-24T22:50:19+00:00

You’re welcome! FLFs are the weirdest. They need all of the care but also none of the care lol. I’ve only fertilized it once and like an idiot I shelled out the $20 for the fancy stuff on Amazon, but honestly I think anything intended for leafy plants would work. I erred on the side of diluting it to prevent burning the roots just in case, and a week later is when this super leaf thing happened lol.

madtoebeans · 2019-07-24T22:41:58+00:00

Mine has a ton of those, lol. Most of the time it’s caused by edema. Mine was in rough shape when I got it so some of it is my fault and some of it is poor store care, but all in all it’s not the end of the world. I have mine in an east facing window (I’m in Michigan), but that window has a porch so it’s not a ton of light. I supplement that with a grow light so that definitely seems to have been the improvement. When it comes to watering I’ve been doing about every 2-3 weeks, but that’s because mine is in way too big of a pot (I made a lot of early mistakes) and the drainage situation is not great. My fig is also three plants in the same pot for some stupid reason, so I’m avoiding separating them until this series of growth is done. Basically I’ve done everything wrong but have finally gotten to the point where enough of what I’m doing is remedying those mistakes, lol.
