I bought a plant and I think it has a really small succulent growing along with it

Post by JackRosier »

Hey, everybody.
Yesterday I bought a small plant, I thought it looked pretty and it was really cheap, so it was an easy decision.
I was moving it today to a bigger pot when I noticed it has a smaller plant growing beside it. Yesterday I thought it was its flower, but upon further examination, I realized it might be a succulent.
What should I do? I'm afraid I could hurt its root (or trunk?) if I cut it in the wrong way.

You can leave them together. Both are succulents. If you prefer to separate them, just do it. Don't worry, it is a very hard to kill plant. You can transplant it with the roots, but if it happens to break, the plant will survive. Keep both plants relatively dry. Never water when you know the soil is still wet.

When you find a surprise seedling along with the plant you purchased, consider those lucky finds. Two for the price of one.
