# I am not good at keeping plants alive outside of aloe, but I’m…

_Posted by NoGreenThumbHere on 2025-04-05_

I am not good at keeping plants alive outside of aloe, but I’m spreading my wings and got this little nugget, I think it’s a Mexican Snowball according to google search? Any advice for someone who perpetually kills plants? It came in that planter and I haven’t changed anything out or anything.

I also got the little tree looking one and the tiny one in the llama planter…. Any advice on these as well? And also identification?

I found it just at a little greenhouse, I didn’t even know the pink flowers were part of the same plant at first lol

Hey I'm sorry to be a bother but I've just logged back on and I can't for the life of me find the community tab. Could someone screenshot theirs as I can only get to pages through notifications now it's just disappeared

I’d start by making sure all of the pots have drainage holes! Sometimes the ones they prepot them in don’t. If they don’t, I recommend switching them out to small terracotta pots - I have a lot of luck with succulents in those.

Thank you so much, I had not even checked and one of them does not have a hole in the bottom, so I will definitely get a terracotta pot for that one now :)

Owl one looks just like my Echeveria Chihuahuaensis! Definitely give it as much sun as you can and no need to water super often.

I grew mine from a leaf for ~4 years and he finally bloomed this year for the first time 🥰 enjoy!

Awww, that’s awesome! And thank you for the advice :)
