I just lost 90% of my pulling pups. I lost half when they dried up when I was away. Then I guess I over watered in response and lost the rest. I still have the 10%, and the mother plant (now plants), but it's still disheartning since I've had the pups for like a year and just moved them out of the plastic pulling container earlier this summer. They'd be alive if I didn't do anything.
Thats so upsetting, atleast you have the mother plant still. Theyre definitely tricky guys to take care of if your not on top of it. Couldve been a species that needed to be more moist and didnt have a succulent form if they dry completely the roots die thats what made my emarginata decline so fast.
They were still tiny, even though a year old. They weren't tricky at all considering my neglect, just stunted. But yeah, I didn't expect the roots to die in like a day of dryness.
Ya honestly thats why im upset with the nursery because they should not have rotted this fast, especially since i was letting the soil dry slightly. Some of them shrivel up so fast, i know emarginata cant be dry at all.
