I was going to say agavoides too

Good idea to repot in cactus and succulent mix. You can use that pot assuming it has holes in the bottom. Pot it up a little higher than it is now. Best potting mix would commercial cactus/succulent mix combined 50/50 with perlite or pumice from your nursery. Don't over water. Keep it in a very bright location or outside if you are in a mild winter zone like So. Ca. It's a nice looking plant.

@breton2, @Kirby Ellis: Thanks for the suggestion! I believe you're both right. There are no red tips yet, but this is the best guess so far. Again, thanks. :)

@socks: Yep, will do just that. The way it is set now prevents the leaves from growing. The pot does have holes in the bottom, yet I intend on getting a new one for it anyways; might use this one for a tiny cactus.

I'm in Brazil, so sunlight here is pretty strong and it is currently Spring time. I keep it in a little garden area I have outside my bedroom's window (Idk how it is called in English, sorry) - that spot gets all the good morning sun and a lot of bright light from the afternoon. This little fellow has a Burro's Tail and some Jades as company for now.

Thanks a lot for your tips. ^_^

Sounds like a perfect location. Just my opinion, I wouldn’t size up on the new pot. Clay is best but plastic or ceramic ok.

Hi Juliana,

Where in Brazil if I might ask pls? I wonder how it will handle the humidity, which succulents don't like.

Falo Portugues, se poso ajudar. [I speak Portuguese, if I can help.]

@socks: Yes, of course, thanks for the suggestion. I intend on putting it into a slightly bigger pot than the one shown above, either clay or ceramic, with bottom holes. I'll only be able to get it next week, though, since I'm pretty busy for now. :( Do you think that there could be some sort of side effects to keeping this succulent in this tiny pot, as is, for an extra week?

@Karen: Oi, Karen!

I live in São Paulo, the weather here is pretty arid right up until Summer comes along. The reason for that is mainly the air pollution, but also the altitude (we're around 600 miles above sea level). This city used to be known as the Drizzle City (for locals), since we're near "mountains" and they tend to keep the humidity around, making it drizzle in a weekly basis, but the pollution changed that. It only ever rains for good during the Summer, in which we have potent thunderstorms, or during the Autumn, where rainy days last for weeks at a time.

The spot in which I put the succulents is the driest area in my apartment - I used to struggle (a lot) with keeping the soil humid for other plants, such as geraniums and even a potted English Ivy that was up held up against the wall. Now I turned it into an area for plants that prefer arid environments. It's working out well so far! Thankfully, there is always someone here at my place that can quickly bring the plants inside at the first sign of humidity outside. I don't like switching their places, but that's the only solution to this issue that I found for now. :/

Muito obrigada por oferecer sua ajuda. Gostei bastante do quão solicitas as pessoas aqui neste fórum são! [Thanks a lot for offering your help. I really like how helpful the people in this forum are!]

If I could point something out: if plant is too low/deep inside of it's pot, it doesn't really prevents leaves from growing, but it shades them too much and what could be worse - there could be humidity built-up underneath them. That could possibly increase chance of rot. Especially in hot & humid climate you are. It won't die if it is there for another week or so, but would greatly benefit from good air circulation around whole plant. And the side benefit - plants look better :)

The soil level needs to be at least half way past that ridge in the pot. The leaves will continue to grow and get bent where they touch the sides and damage can promote rot unfortunately :-)

@Rina: Thank you for the clarification, Rina! Rot is something I most definitely do not want, so I'll get a new pot tomorrow. Probably clay and around the same size or slightly bigger than the one shown above.

I have to say, though, that the leaves already began "rising" today - the plant received the morning sun and the "bright shade" of the afternoon, it seemed to really like it.

@Greenclaws: Thanks for the tip! I don't want that to happen, so I'll transfer it to a new pot, with a proper mix. I want this baby to grow and look as beautiful as it can - today I could see how shimmery the leaves are under direct sunlight. Absolutely beautiful.
