Looking for help please and thank you!
My fishbone cactus has a strand that is turning brown.
The top soil 2â down is dry, soil inside the drainage hole on the bottom is damp.
The plant doctor said itâs overwatered so Iâm going to let it dry out a bit.
Should I leave that strand alone or should I cut it off and possibly propagate it? There are 3 little babies on the end so I would like to save them somehow if possible.
Whatâs the best way to propagate it? This is the first succulent I havenât killed (yet).
TIA

I have some echeveria that arenât in the plant database it seems. When that happens, I know you can suggest a plant to be added but is there a way to check on that submission? Will I get notified if it was added? (Iâm new to the app so I may have just not found it? Idk lol) TIA!

I got this string of rubies as a rescue and itâs in a pot without drainage, basically root bound, and the top of the soil is low in the pot. Any tips to try and prevent losing half the leaves when I repot? Or should I just accept that thatâs probably going to happen no matter what I do?

Is my watch chain getting too much light? Iâve read some conflicting things about its light needs. It already had some dryness up the stalks when I got it, and itâs started to divide a little bit, but Iâm still not sure. I have it in a north/nw facing window that gets 4 hours of direct afternoon sunlight. Itâs also currently under a grow light thatâs on 8 hours a day starting in the morning, but I can move it out from under the grow light but still be on the window sill if thatâs an issue. An east facing window with 3 hours of morning light is also an option.

hello! im an absolute beginner and I was wondering if the brownish spines were normal?

I got these two humilis over a year ago at the peak of my Copiapoa mania. They immediately bloomed like maniacs, and then I let them get root-bound (rookie move that both ruined plants and taught me a bit about how the heck succulent roots work).
I assumed the compact one was on its way out, but here we are.

This guy just keeps throwing out these pink things. Iâm use to Cati flowering but these are unusual. Anyone have any input? Theyâre like a fruit with seeds inside but theyâve never flowered.

Succulent issues⌠whatâs going on? I initially thought the stem was rotting but diagnosis on another app I have says itâs doing well? Also itâs not mushy at all, itâs quite hard instead? Does that mean itâs not rotting? Or is it stem rot and if so, what do I do?đ
It seems to be growing perfectly fine, more than usual tbh so Iâm unsure on what to do about it?

When is the best time to water string of pearls? Is this balding due to overwatering or under-watering?

How do you guys make your soil for desert cacti? In terms of ratio of organic to non organic materials? And which ones do you use? Thanks!

Sedum Broadleaf Stonecrop. Gets some early morning sun and some afternoon sun. Under 50% shade cloth other than that. I only water when itâs dry. Itâs supposed to be able to handle blazing sun, so I thought this arrangement would be okay. But does it look like itâs getting too much sun? Maybe the black plastic pot is a problem? I need pro help please đ˘

Can I repot these 2 jade plants into just one pot ? Any tips ?

Hey there! So my succulent isnât super happy. He started off as very red. Heâs got no drainage in this little container, which I know isnât ideal. If I were to repot, is it better if I just chop him so heâs not as leggy? Or does he have better chances if I keep his roots? Any other suggestions for how I can improve his care? Thanks so much!!!
Edit: he is currently in a south-facing window.

Does a grow light replace sunlight? (Also do I turn it off at night?)
I just moved into college and there isnât much room for my plants. My room has 1 window but it has a wall outside of it. Will this be good enough?
