Thread OP

My bear paw succulent fell off the table and landed on some of its leaves. About four of them came off, including a big one. The roots were untouched and I recently repotted it so I just put the soil back and replanted it. I also put a stake to stabilize it and make sure it isn't leaning over too much... I'm pretty new to plants so I don't know what to do. I'm going to try to propagate the leaves that fell off. I'm devastated though because I loved this plant!! And it is covered in dirt which is hard to get off because it's stuck in the hair and I'm too afraid to wet the plant. Any advice?

I would suggest taking a photo for us to see its condition.

However, I would leave it be. It will eventually put out pups/new branches.

Hi & welcome! So sorry that happened. When I've had similar experiences, I leave the stray bits of dirt until it's time to water again. A spray bottle on stream (not mist) can help get that stuff out of crevices, while you're watering anyway.

Haven't tried, but as long as it doesn't damage the leaves, it should be fine.
