Hi there! I am new to the plant community and if I am being honest I have NO IDEA what I am doing. I’ve been just winging it and I’m looking for advice on how to care for these guys. I have what I believe to be an aloe, swiss cheese monstera, dieffenbachia, a lil air plant dude (not pictured), and a mystery cactus (if anyone can identify the weird skinny cactus lmk). Any tips and tricks are appreciated!! ♥️
If some of the pots don’t have drainage you might wanna water less often especially for your succulents
2 Likes both the aloe and weird skinny cactus have one main drainage hole at the bottom of each. they’re both ceramic pots I think, too. do you think that’s enough?
1 LikeThe cactus is a golden torch cactus, they get huge
1 Like woah! I’ve had him for almost a year now and he’s just skinny and curvy! do you know if I am not caring for it properly or are they just slow growers?
1 Like Mines slow hasn’t budged since I bought it 😅 has for the pot I only have one ceramic and I water less often since it tends to stay moist longer with less drainage
1 Like thank you! i’ll try to keep an eye on it. definitely don’t want to overwater either. I tend to have a “too much gene”.

I’m not super familiar with cactus, I just have one, but the way that one is getting smaller at the top makes me think it’s not getting adequate light. They light a lot of light. That could also explain its slow growth, though they tend to be slower anyway.
