You're Either a Plant Parent or a Plant Killer - There's No In-Between

Just because succulents grow slowly and are pretty resilient, people seem to forget that they're still actually plants.

You have to check how dry the soil is, water these guys, and trim any dead weight, so it can be a lot of work! But, in the picture below, you see what happens when someone neglects that work.
