Hi all! My vsoh has been doing wonderfully and has already been flowering for a couple months I believe. It just keeps growing and growing!! However, the hearts have gotten significantly smaller as it grows. I’m wondering if this is normal, especially bc it’s flowering, or if I should change anything. It’s been in a west window its whole life and only gets watered when the hearts can gently fold like a taco. I gave it fertilizer I think two weeks ago.
Extra Q: I’m introducing a kitten into my room very soon and I know this particular plant will be very tempting but it’s so long that anywhere I put it, it’ll be dangling too low or too far from the window. Any suggestions?

Planta is telling me to water my living stone plant, but I thought they weren’t supposed to be watered in the summer. Do I water or no? Last water was over a week ago during repotting (I didnt know about the watering situation at the time😅)
**The other plant in the photo has been struggling for some time (shes a rescue) if anyone has an ID that would be great!

What’s going on here? I have 3 leaves on the left that seem to be going bad/rotting? I assume they’re not gunna propagate so I’ll throw them away in the morning, just wondering what on earth is causing those black little dots? Never seen this before🫣 it’s basically happened overnight..
Photos to show how it’s getting worse throughout the day? Weird…

Unfortunately I don’t seem to be very good at this. Is there anything I can do to help this plant?

Well it’s taken me 4 years to produce 4, well 3.5, Dark Moon Echeveria Rosettes.
The original Rosette was damaged and overtime it became elongated, and then it broke, and then little Rosettes formed, and then they became elongated, and then finally I could cut them and then plant them individually.
Not an easy succulent to grow in Philadelphia in a row home with no southern windows.

Herbert gave birth 🥹! I plucked off his lil' babies so they can grow happily on their own! A big weight off lil' Herbert's shoulders

okie guys, update on herbert again...
Project: Save Herbert is officially a go, and I switched him from a northeast facing window to a southwest facing window, completely opposite, and hoping this will help. A few of you guys suggested I should give him more light, so we're hoping this will work! He has plenty currently and looks happy...er.
also propoed him up with popsicle stick, mostly because it made me so sad seeing him all droopyyy and sick... 😭
i HEAVILY watered herbert as soon as he started looking weird, because at that point he looked kinda dry and crispy. the soil is still a bit wet throughout and herbert seems a bit less dry.
I think i might pop off some of his budding cacti parts, because they look brown at the base part connecting to herbert, and im worried being attached is hurting them? i migtt pop them off and stick them into the dirt so they can grow new roots. do you guys know if i will need a bigger pot for this? how can i safely pop them off without harming herbert further?
thanks in advance 💕
i hope this will make herbert feel better soon!
ps, about the pictures, the first one in herbert basking happily in the sun by his new (temporary, just to see if it works, might move him throughout the day to see where the sun is, he needs all the hell he can get!) window. the two are his lil buds to show you guys his situation and see how i can take them off safely. also its timelapse because i think imma start a timelapse video throughout the day to see if he gets better
PLZ let me know what i can change about how im helping him and what u think he needss (he's my only plant and im kinda a newbie when it comes to like all plants in generallll)

My peperomia Nevada isn’t looking as great as it used to. Any recommendations or thoughts about what it needs? It appears more yellow than the picture.

Can anybody give me some advice on this plant and the name of it please.

This is my zebra haworthia. I repotted it yesterday after buying it from a store. I was wondering if I should water it? The soil is completely dry throughout, but I heard you have to wait a week before watering again, is this true?

Could use some advice on my old man jade plant (he’s 30, and was only recently put in my care. He became very stretched out from neglect and drought over the years before I was put in charge of his care. I gave him a repot and haircut in May, and until last week, he’s been doing great! Grew plenty of new leaves, he’s still working on the new growth, but suddenly he lost 4 older leaves within the past week, all turning yellow before breaking off. I don’t overwater it. I bottom water him no earlier than every 10 days in the summer. My question is if I should give him another haircut and prop all the branches by the stem, or if I shouldn’t stress and just leave him be. I’ve worked with jades for a while now. I have 3 other jades and consider myself pretty good with them. This one’s very dear to me, is all, as he’s a from my grandmother, and I’m very careful with him as she’s since passed away. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to decide if I should slice off the top and start over 🧐
She’s been dealing with scale for months and just went through hurricane Debby outside in the rain 🌧️
The middle is looking big and feels springy so I’m worried about rot 🍄🟫

This is looking pretty funky. What should I do with it?
