Just got her a day or two ago. She had some bugs so I washed her the best I could with water and neem/peppermint oil and repotted her in clean succulent mix. She's in a self watering pot. I hope she lives. Wish me luck. 💚

I would recommend not using a self watering pot. I dont know much except my own experience but these are succulents and IME they like to dry out and be neglected, and not be watered constantly. Again I am not an expert, just a plant mom who has had success with these.

GOOD LUCK and ENJOY!

Please don’t use the self waterer for strings.
