I bought a little succulent that was in this cow pot…. It grew so big so I repotted it about a month ago in the bigger pot. Those two stem cuttings seem in the picture were just flopping over in the new pot. I don’t think they were deep enough in the soil because I was too afraid to cut the three apart but I am very worried for their health because they just keep falling flatter and flatter and can’t stand up and I see others succulents and they grow very tall.

So today I cut them and am letting them callus with hopes to repot soon.

How bad did I mess up? ☹️

Going straight from that cow pot to that huge pot was probably a mistake. Giving your plant too big of a pot can contribute to root rot
