Using Stem Support in Repotting Succulents with Tricky Stem

Have you ever got your uprooted succulent and find it difficult to repot due to its short or weird-shaped stem? Or maybe a lush or big succulent with stems that can no longer hold its rosettes in upright position?

Well I just encountered that with my new Graptopetalum superbum! It has more-or-less 2 inches of stem from the base up to the branching parts. It couldn't stand on its own. Good thing I have my succulent stem support, which I bought from Dorothy Mercado Vlogs' Shopee last year (February 2021).

What is a Succulent Stem Support?

Succulent stem support is a metal that's shaped into specific forms (like in example below) in order to support the stem of branching succulents to help it stand upright or hold the weight of the heavier parts or rosettes. It assists with the weight of the succulent's branches or rosettes until its roots are established and properly holding onto the soil.

Now my superbum can take her time to grow her roots and stand tall. Her babies are close to regular sizes already. 😍
