Found this discarded and when I picked it up it did not look salvageable, put it over night on damp soil and then next day made cuttings out of it. After 24hrs they were planted.
We have all killed plants mostly due to too much love and affection lavished on them, read "watering" I tip my hat to you. .

Hilarious! guilty on overwatering and rescuing discarded plants! I find myself rescuing more plants and propagating them way too fast. Here's another rescue succulents, around the time I was making the boat succulent (see original pic) I found a tiny clump of "grass-like" succulents on the floor at a big box stores. Ask the clerk if I could have it, who said yes but gave me a Thumbs down "you are one of those" looks with my DH Rolling my eyes.

Grew too fast for my boat succulents planter and here is what i ended up with now:

Mother of all my cuttings, keep it in a small well draining pot.

Started as few clumps in December, able to handle our 40's uncovered and my first time to see blooms:
