Doing some spring pruning today. I usually like to let the plants grow the way they want, but in this case (and with some other plants I'll be trimming) they get too unbalanced and can topple over or stem weakening. This Pachyphytum Oviferum branched and offset/cloned a new smaller plant, and then grew sideways.
It was really cute and I wanted to leave it like this but the head of the original plant was too heavy to support over time.
@plants I put cinnamon on the cuts and ends of the leaves that I pulled to help heal them as it's an antifungal, then put everything in a lower-light area where it will stay for a few days. After it's healed over I'll plant the original head in a new pot and not water it for a while until it has grown new roots.
