When some of my succulents stretch over the winter, I need to repot them into lil' dinky pots so they can start fresh! Yes, I know I need to get a grow light 🙄

ooo I hadn't heard the term 'start over' before. So do you completely dismantle the original stretchy plants into props or just grab a few cuttings off to start over?
I need to get a grow light too :/
Depends on the plant. Most of them, you can snip the top off and pull off any remaining leaves that are stretched. Then plant the stub directly in dirt, wait a few days to heal and it'll continue to do it's succulent thing like it always did. I usually save the leaves I pulled off for propagation after.
