Pachy. succulentum: above & below soil level

Post by nachtkrabb »

Hi,
a fortnight ago, I thought it might be high time that I repot my Pachy. succulentum, last time was 13years ago. So I made a picture before the happening.
When I got the plant out of its pot, I was next to shocked, what was hiding below the soil. I have seen caudices before, but this is .. quite a handful. Now I understand the younger, additional plants growing out of the soil, see 1st picture to the left.
