Not sure what to do with these guys. Anytime I get a leaf I put it there so thereās a variety. I also chopped the tops off some because they were etiolated. Itās under a grow light because I donāt have adequate sun anymore. The grow light is on the highest setting and I move it closer and closer, so not sure if itās too close or what. It originated as a salvage from Walmart. Obviously Iām not the best with succulents. Please help š
Iām sorry, I have ADHD and am getting lost in some of the details. Are you asking if the grow light is working? Or what to do with the pups? Or about one of the plants in particular? Lots of cute succulent pups!š
1 gillaLol same š and thank you succulent mama I was hoping youād see my post š I need answers to everything! Is the light ok? Too close? Itās on the highest setting for 12 hours daily. Should I leave them all in the same container or give them room in new individual small container? How many would you leave in that one round pot? The ones that are reaching up, are they supposed to grow like that? Do they need more light? Thank you šš¼š
1 gilla Aww, thank youā¤ļø Iām glad Iām in good companyšš Are they all from plants in your profile? Iāll check it to verify what kinds they are, because they are so different. Oh wait, can you make your profile public so I can make sure Iām identifying these correctly in my mind? Some succulents have different light requirements. For example, sedum does grow that way, and burros tail grows compact like yours is.
0 gillningarOh my gosh that might be part of my problem. I actually never identified all of them and they have all been together in this pot from the beginning about a year ago. I thought all succulents were created equal at the time š³ the only identification is the main one with the photo which is āGhost plant.ā
0 gillningar Okš Iāll get back to you with what I think they are. I often have to play a guessing game with my propagations because I donāt label them when I put the leaves in there. š But they are all leaves from plants in my collection, so that helps. Do you have any big plants these might have came from you can add the picture of here? Or are they just random leaves from different people/places? Oh, wait I just reread that and realized you might be saying all your plants are in this pot, which would answer my question.
0 gillningarThey are all in one pot lol the leaves in to take only come from 3 or 4 large plants the I cut and placed on the first because they were etoliated. I didnāt think to label them I was a complete newb when I started all these š
0 gillningar Gotchaš We all start somewhere! We were all noobs once!ā¤ļø I will look at your plants and ID what I can.š My husband has a haworthia retusa on his desk with no light that we swap out with another one every two weeks and put on a window sill when itās āoff dutyā. But my jade hobbit plant wouldnāt grow right, even on a windowsill, until I could get it outside. Most succulents can tolerate part sun but some prefer less and some really need more to live their full glory.
1 gilla Iām wondering if you think 1,2, and 3 are the same plant? How about 4, 5 and 6?
Also, are the big ones rooted? Or tops you chopped off recently?
0 gillningarSorry for the late reply Iāve been stuck doing homework š« 1 and 2 do look the same. 4 and 5 also look the same. It is possible 3 is the same as 1 and 2 because as she became etoliated I was taking leaves off and placing them on the soil. 6 looks like a different one completely because the leaves are shorter and fatter but they donāt seem to grow any more than they are.

Does your pot have drainage?
0 gillningarIt does not! So I donāt usually give it a downpour of water I just spray it a lot until it seems adequately moist.

1 gilla Ok, since you said you have a ghost plant, I bet thatās what 1,2, and 3 are. I was comparing my thoughts to yours since you can actually see the plants in the pot.š¤Ŗ Can you take a close up of 6? It reminds me of a burros tail prop from this angle, but I donāt think it is. Iām wondering if itās a leaf prop from 4/5. Everything looks so different at that age. No rush on responses!š
0 gillningarHopefully this shows well and you can also see the leaves they were propped from. Iām pretty sure these are from the same original plant. I donāt think the original is a burros tail I wish it was because those are so cool. It looked like a standard succulent just elongated/etoliated.
