In this case I think it was giving it time to heal and build back mostly!

When I first got it I made the mistake of adding liquid fertilizer immediately after putting it in its pot. I’m imagining there were some damaged roots during the transfer… the next day it was pretty much all dead leaves. I removed them all and that’s where the first picture was taken.

I live in Florida, so thankfully there’s plenty of sun for them. I just let it sit out in full sun since then, and watered sparingly!

If anyone isn’t seeing the entire photo album can you please let me know? Not sure if I posted it properly, would really appreciate it!

Awesome! I appreciate you letting me know. I posted through the browser which showed alright for me, but the Memmy app doesn’t seem to have any thing but the first photo on my end.

Still really fresh to all this!

Yes! That was my biggest issue when I started off. Starting around the dormancy period for nearly all of them didn’t help much either! 😅

I’ve learned to just enjoy the little things a bit more, which was a goal I had in mind when I decided to start collecting them.

Nowadays I’m enjoying the routine of going outside every morning to check in on them and taking photos when I can.

Looking forwards to seeing yours, I’ll be sharing more as well!

Love seeing group shots!! You have so many cool ones I’ve never seen. What is the one you have sitting on the wall in the back, second from the left?!

Yep, that’s the one! Thank you!

Thank you so much! Always loved taking macro shots, it’s been really fun taking some of the plants and practicing a bit.

Yes, I’m using glass! I haven’t seen anyone using them either, was a bit nervous that it could prevent growth with so much light beaming through them. Just been slowly testing it out for the last 4-5 months on a few of them!

Yes! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw it, I thought the thing was fake. It’s one thing I love about a lot of succulents in general, a lot of them look so unnatural to me. Especially up close!

Someone cracking windshields for their succulent collection is a funny visual to imagine 😂

I don’t think the glass would be too bad in general after having used it for a bit. I’ve been seeing growth coming out from them, the Alien in particular has been doing really well. I have been a lil’ selective about what pieces I throw on just in case!

I bought it from KongerGarden over at Etsy!

Unfortunately they’re sold out of it right now, but just in case the listing is here and the store itself here.

I don’t have another cooperi to compare the growth to(….yet 😂) I feel it has been a slow grower though!
