I've been trying to turn my black thumb into a green one over the past year by caring for a few succulents, and I've had some success thanks to the tips I've picked up here. Recently, I received a mountain rose plant and noticed it's starting to bloom. I'm a bit worried—could this be a death bloom, or am I just being anxious for no reason?

You can relax a bit! Death blooms usually sprout from the center where new leaves grow in. If yours is blooming from a different spot, it’s all good! Check out this info [here](https://www.succulent.care/monocarpic-succulents/) about them if you want more details.
Hey! So, the mountain rose you're talking about is likely Aeonium dodrantale. This type is monocarpic, meaning the particular rosette that blooms will indeed die after it flowers. But don’t stress too much! The plant typically offsets new branches or rosettes before that happens, so it’s not the end for your succulent. Just keep an eye on it, and it should be fine!
