    Do you think the cactus could be a prickly pear cactus? There are so many different types.

      Type in Prickly Pear Cactus in Plant Search and you will see about 10 varieties to compare. I do have this cactus and it looks similar to yours.

    I think the bottoms are different kinds of jade plants

    This one is a variegated crassula platyphylla, and can be identified on this app as the “crassula nudicaulis var. platyphylla”. They’re very similar to jade plants (crassula ovata) in appearance and care, and can turn a beautiful pink in bright sunlight. Hope this helps 😊 (if you’re new to jades and crassulas in general, I’d be happy to share some tips if you’re like 👍)

      Thank you for letting me know 😊 Will do 👍 Here’s a few tips for the jade and crassula platyphylla, but all these tips should generally help your cactus as well: - I swear by Espoma’s Organic Cactus Mix for all of my jades, cacti, and other succulents. Please avoid Miracle Grow’s Cactus Mix or soils for this one, especially if you experience humid summers, cause it is not well-draining enough, especially in more humid climates. Other cactus specific soils will do just fine, but I can always find Espoma at my local nurseries, and it’s a smaller business that tends to be cheaper but much higher quality than Miracle Grow’s soil without breaking the budget like other higher-end soil brands like FoxFarm. - I’ve found from my time taking care of jades that they tend to need repotting a little sooner than other plants, and can handle a more aggressive repotting than other succulents. They can be more prone to their soil becoming hydrophobic, so I replace as much of their soil as I can during big repottings about twice a year to give them fresh soil and nutrients to work with. - They like being snug in their pots and getting rootbound between repottings. This is common with plenty of other succulents. I like to opt for a pot that’s no more than 1-2 inches wider in diameter than the width of the plant’s root ball for these plants. - They need to completely dry out between waterings. I use bamboo/barbecue skewers from the grocery store to stick all the way to the bottom of the soil, then pull out to check if the soil’s dry enough to water. If the skewer comes out clean and dry, with nothing sticking to it, and you’ve put the skewer in 2-3 spots in the pot to check that it’s completely dry throughout, it should be safe to water. I use the app more like a reminder app to remind me to use a skewer to check if it’s time to water rather than a surefire schedule. Generally, depending on the size of your jade, I’d wait at least 18-21 days in the warmer months and 21-25 days in the fall/winter. - Don’t get the leaves wet. Don’t mist it. I highly recommend looking up “how to bottom-water a plant” on YouTube for your new cactus to keep it dry. Cacti and succulents don’t need extra humidity and like many other plants, don’t like having their leaves wet when placed back into a bright windowsill, where the leaves could burn if still wet. If you get the leaves wet, let it sit overnight to let it dry or gently wipe the leaves dry before placing it back in the windowsill. - Last thing. You’re gonna want to put them in the brightest spot you’ve got, especially the variegated crassula. Variegated plants need lots of light to photosynthesize properly since they have less green on their leaves, and cacti and succulents are used to living in very bright, sunny climates with little to no shade. I keep mine in South-facing windowsills in spring/summer and move them to grow lights in the winter so they get enough light. Overall, as long as you let them dry out between waterings, keep them somewhere bright, and they’re in a well-draining soil mix, they should treat you just fine 😊

      Great info! Appreciate Espoma cactus soil most since I just started a collection of cacti!
