My approach is simple: I treat them like friends, not furniture. Whether you have a leggy jade plant needing a bonsai trim or a struggling Crassula that just won't root, I can help you fix it with basic tools you already have at home. ### My Approach to Succulent Health Succulents are famous for being low-maintenance, but they have specific needs that, if ignored, lead to yellowing leaves and root rot. I focus on correcting the fundamentals—proper light exposure, water drainage, and the right succulent soil mix. You don't need expensive store-bought products to keep them alive. ### Bonsai-Inspired Shaping Many of you see my jade plant transformations and think it's complicated. It’s not. With simple pruning and wire training, you can turn a standard indoor jade into a bonsai-style masterpiece. I teach you how to time your cuts to encourage dense, tree-like growth rather than lanky, thin stems. ### Easy Propagation Techniques Stop buying new plants every time you want a fuller pot. I will show you how to propagate succulents like Haworthiopsis and Crassula from cuttings, whether you prefer water propagation or laying stems directly on soil. ### Need specific help? - **Virtual Diagnosis:** If your plant is dropping leaves or turning mushy, let's look at it together over a video call. - **Repotting:** I provide hands-on workshops in Delhi NCR where we get our hands dirty, mixing the perfect substrate so you never have to worry about root rot again. - **Home Styling:** I can help you identify micro-climates in your apartment, finding the perfect sunny spot for your succulents to actually thrive. ## About A+ Plant House I'm the person you call when your 'unkillable' succulent starts dying.
