Nice update! I find the propagated leaves really interesting. It is amazing how they can grow new baby succulents like that.Update time!
It's been a while, but my plants are doing well--mostly.
The repotted aloes were flopping over and generally looking horrible, and the other succulents in there were getting worse, so I ditched those guys (except one healthy leaf from the rotted succ in hopes it will propagate). Between this aloe and my other aloe that is turning discolored (not the one I showed you, a different one) I only have one aloe that remains healthy. Fingers crossed I manage to keep it that way!View attachment 2647927
I'm rescuing a few of my mom's plants!
Here's a Christmas Cactus. I gave it a good watering but I will probably want to repot it soon; its soil doesn't look the greatest.

And an orchid...but with no drainage hole in the pot!
I pull it out of the pot and remove the bark chips to evaluate it, and sure enough...

These yellow roots have got to go!
Here's the newly repotted plant in front, with my other orchid in the back who'd been only half-repotted for a week or two. One underwatered, one overwatered; and both are now on their way to better health, hopefully!

I finally moved them into my sisters' old bedroom because it has this lovely turret with south and east-facing windows!

Notice the cute little greenhouse, or 'Wardian Case' my dad made for me a while back out of the house's old windows. I hope to put something alive in there eventually, but right now it's full of dead plants that I don't care for anymore.
Also. Yes, that is an ironing board (my sister is furious at me). This is a very makeshift setup as you can see.

Some of what's on top of the bookshelf (for now).
I still have to hang up Patience, my string-of-dolphins. I'll probably have to repot her a second time as well since I forgot to give it drainage (though her roots don't go very deep in yet so I'm not super concerned).

My three newest additions! Cobweb Hens&Chicks, Perle von Nuremberg, and a Gasteria of some sort...

I was able to repot many of my little succulents, including the ones above, into one big chaotic bowl the other day!
I still need to fix some aspects of the arrangement, but here it is for now! I've put some smaller cuttings in what looks like those big 'gaps'. Hopefully, they'll grow into their place someday.

Lastly...here's the progress on my propagated leaves!
The echeverias have grown a lot of adorable pink roots. No succulent babies yet!

The sedums have started growing the very start of the baby succulents, though!
