Echeveria pulvinata help?? (Cactus/succulent type!) Female
Default Echeveria pulvinata help?? (Cactus/succulent type!)

Hey there!

Has anyone got any experience/knowledge about caring for E. pulvinata? I have one growing in my window, but have no idea what to do with it. You see, it's grown an extra branch, which was lovely and exciting at first, but now it has managed to grow to such a sideways length that we're fearing for the plant's life.

I'll try to attach a photo.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks so much for reading!




Update!!! ...only maybe an hour after original...
Out of sheer panic (and the contribution of some effort to stall studying for finals just a few minutes longer), I gave in and went ahead and "repotted" the plant.
(I was afraid it was going to break, as it has leaned considerably more aggressively in the past day or two.)
I didn't disturb the root ball at all. I basically just pulled it out of the original pot, stuck in some extra media underneath at an angle, and reinserted plant and rootball back into original pot (as I read they like to be tight-fitted?) at a new angle. I've put the whole thing into a larger pot around it just to try and give some extra weight balance (it's still rather precarious-looking!).

I don't know if this was the right thing to do... :/

Please advise if you know anything about these!
