Only Succulents Survive Me 😬🌵

I’ve never tried fancy plants like monsteras or ferns—let’s be real, I knew better. But I did once have an olive tree. It was cute, and I thought I was being responsible by giving it all my leftover water… from water bottles. Constantly. Turns out, that’s not hydration—it’s overwatering.

Not only did the tree die, but it attracted fungus gnats. Fungus. Gnats. I basically created a bug resort.

Somehow, succulents still love me. They don’t mind being ignored. They like dry vibes and low expectations—honestly, same. So now, I stick to what works: hardy, low-drama succulents that thrive despite me.

And I’m okay with that. 🌿

Repotting succulents: Don’t skip this step!

If you have old succulent stems, you must trim the roots when repotting. Cut off any rotten, dry, or thin roots. Only keep thick, healthy, white roots. Let the cut ends dry for 1–3 days before planting in new soil. This way, your succulents will recover fast and won’t rot. Super easy for beg
