#overwatered

This is what overwatered leaves look like! These fall off on their own, or with minimal touch, and are plump still but wrinkled and you can see the sick yellow/translucent color they are.

This is the point where you un-pot your plant and let it dry out because it's getting to much water! You'll also want to check that the plant isn't rotting as that needs different care and should be done immediately.

Why should you get a succulent?

Succulents are plants that are able to retain water in various structures, such as thick fleshy leaves or stems. There are plenty of succulents types and here are some examples:

Sanseveria trifasciata

Echeveria elegans

Haworthia fasciata

Lophophora williamsii

Gymnanocalycium mihanovichii

Opuntia microdasys

Echinocactus grusonii

Peperomia graveolens

Cephalocerus senilis

And what are the advantages of growing a succulent?

They are low-maintenance. It is really hard to kill a succulent, because it stores water very well. But it is important to make sure water can drain out of the pot or container, otherwise the succulent will get overwatered. They are also 

You can regrown it. Fully-formed and rooted mini-plants can grow independently at your plant. But also you can plant a new succulent from a cut leave.

A very good decoration. They look interesting and they are a nice topic to talk about with friends or visitors, because they attract attention. I personally really enjoy watching them.

They come in all sorts of colors, shapes and sizes. You can find anything you want looking for a succulent.

They are perfect for small places and people who are busy durning the day, for example for collage students.

They refresh air even through the night. Durning the process of photosynthesis plants release oxygen at day but most of them release carbon dioxide at night. Succulents keep producing oxygen all night so you can sleep well while...

... they are cleaning the air. They are able to remove toxins from air. According to scientific research they can lower the VOC for about 87%.

They help you recover. They can contribute to reducing headaches, fever or cough, lower blood pressure and heart rate. Also they helps you to focus and experience less anxiety.

Today I bought a new succulent. It is called echeveria ‘perle von nurnberg’ and it is blue and purple. I love it already 💜

Went on vacation so I super doused all my plants with water so they’d make it until I got back. I’ve gotten small mushrooms in this pot before, but between the extra water, the no AC, and the blinds being closed we had a few go stark crazy.
