My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Your plant is definitely quite deformed by lack of sufficient light exposure. Desert succulents like this need blazing light levels often not available in ordinary living spaces unless provided by adequately strong artificial lighting. Or placement near sunny windows. Otherwise many kinds of house plants need watering to be tapered off markedly during winter in climates where it becomes cold and dark at that time of the year. Desert succulents in particular.
