Awww, lol. I like your string of dolphins/Hive metaphor, though! If you want some houseplant advice, I'd say you almost always have to repot any plants you buy right away because they usually let them get root bound in the store (it looked like that one was still in the store pot). For succulents, there is a specific soil that is better for them rather than general potting mix as well. I had a succulent curse for YEARS but then I finally broke it and now I have some jade doing well! 😊
