# A few things: 1. I need help identifying the two succulents, the aloe…

_Posted by Elapse on 2024-01-07_

A few things:  
1\. I need help identifying the two succulents, the aloe looking plant, and the one with the pretty flower.  
2\. Can someone give me advice on pruning my bonsai?  
3\. Anything else I’m missing with caring for these plants such as repotting, fertilizing, and other stuff  
THANK YOU sooo much to anyone who helps. It makes it so fun and easy for me.

not sure about the aloe’s species but the last plant with the pinkish bloom is a schlumbergera truncata or “thanksgiving cactus”

for future reference, we have a plant identification group for queries like these. there are also free ai-powered identification apps like inaturalist’s seek or picturethis

When pruning your ficus give it your desired shape but now is the best time to prune and shape with wire becaue the upcoming spring will go crazy there is no special way to prune just cut where you’d like they are very forgiving especially ficus
