[@ian11hendri03]

Wow! what an amazing landscape seen at 8:17. You are lucky to live there. Thx for the video. Hope your cactus is doing well after the repotting/rescue.

So nice of you to say so thank you 🫂💕 Yes it has recovered well and now I have extra plants too so everyone is happy lol 😁

Succulents can be difficult in wet areas

[@thenaturecompany]

yes if the drainage is not correct it can kill them quickly

[@hotdudes802]

You caught that just in time.

[@loribadgero1035]

That was close! And it looks so sturdy. It’s a good thing he decided to unpot and look at it.

[@thenaturecompany]

yes i would not have noticed otherwise

[@thenaturecompany]

you are 100% correct I would have lost the whole plant

Hair dryer can help callusing in minutes.

[@thenaturecompany]

ah good idea . I will try that next time on my succulents . Thanks 🫂

[@edandpeter]

[@thenaturecompany]

You're welcome 😊

I smash up my broken terracotta pots into gravel like chuncks and add that and the dust to the potting mix. That's about the only thing I do differently besides squeezing the trunks constantly and only watering them when they feel dehydrated. I have 13 plants in my Pachypodium collection, and I haven't lost anything except for two seedlings that died a few days after arriving due to shipping stress.

[@thenaturecompany]

ah that is a really good idea thank you I can see why it would work well don't know why it did not occur to me before . Thank you . Mine never get watered by me but maybe I should move this one to under the eves where the rain can not reach

[@Anna-tc4oj]

can I cut like that Buddha belly plant for repoting? thank you

[@thenaturecompany]

Yes they will also propogate by cutting too

[@loribadgero1035]

Dangerous plant!😮, but beautiful in its own way.

[@thenaturecompany]

with such strange looking plants the flowers are such a joy .. the yellow just sings 😍

[@TammyWorley-p8x]

Is the plant you're working with adenium? Desert rose?

[@thenaturecompany]

no not adenium this is a pachypodium .. but they also take drier conditions
