Try asking the succulent circle

#### Plant Father replied on 2024-05-19

this is the appropriate group for plant identification. the cactus \& succulent circle is more for sharing our cacti and succulents and discussing their care.

#### ReeRee replied on 2024-05-19

I know but the specific groups may be able to give more detailed answer.

#### Plant Father replied on 2024-05-19

please read the planta community rules, accessible via the (i) button in the top right of the community home screen. duplicate posting, or posting the same thing across multiple groups, is not allowed.

#### ReeRee replied on 2024-05-19

I have read it many times and I was just recommending that they ask the group that is knowledgeable in that specific area.
