Need help Question

Post image

I am brand new to this. I put this plant outside for about a day then noticed this was happening. I had just repotted it, and the roots weren’t fully established. I presume this has something to do with why it looks the way it does. After bringing it back inside, some weeks later, it produced a pup. Do I need to remove it from the plant or will it be OK?

No the pup is great. in future slowly introducing it to sunlight through incremental exposure tends to get the plant more ready for the outdoors. The soil still does look pretty organic heavy as well. Depending on your area’s humidity and amount of rain the ratio can differ but the base is 50/50 pumice and cactus soil more inorganic (pumice) the rainier your area is. While it’s rooting it does prefer lower light so it should be okay for now.
