The comeback kid: a crassula ovata gollum update

10/14/2012

 
Thanks to Sweetstuff and a few other readers, my little crassula ovata gollum, which I started from a wee cutting, is making a comeback!  I repotted it into a bigger container with more drainage, new soil, and a nice long drink of water.  I also pinched off one or two of the leaves at the bottom that were the most shriveled.  On the left is a picture of what it looked like on 10/7, when I asked for your help.  On the right is a picture of it yesterday:

Can you believe the difference?  It went from being a shriveled little plantlet to plumping up and being well on its way to a happy, well-adjusted little plant in less than a week!  Thanks for your help, fellow succ-ers!

What a perfect example of how succulents survive periods of drought. This little guy was living off moisture in the leaves. Say, Candy Suter calls succulent aficionados "succateers" and you're using succ-ers, which I kinda like. Have to get used to the idea that it's OK to "suck."

Well, or at least to "succ." ;) I like "succateers," too!
