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?

I’m new to succulents and am wondering if this is normal for Echeveria? I am used to the flat hen and chicks (Sempervivum) in colder climates but these seem to be growing taller. One is starting to push a flower so I am assuming it is getting the sun it needs (outside on eastern facing front porch without roof) but wasn’t sure if it is searching for something and that is why they seem to be stretching out.

Hey guys, does anyone have any advice on when I should water my jelly bean plant? I just took some cuttings and transferred them to a new pot. Many of the stems already had roots growing on them so I stuck them right into the soil. But I’m not sure on how long I should wait.

Can anyone tell me if these long tendrils that have appeared on my Beavertail and Fishbone epiphyllum cacti are normal or a symptom of something?

It has been 2 years since I propagated this beautiful Haworthia using the leaf method. It started as just a single leaf, and now it is still growing. After watering the plant, I turn it 45° to promote even growth. This is a very good indoor succulent. @biophiscape 🌿

Well bought 20 seed and got 30 plant out off it not too bad ratio!! They are growing much faster than I thought! Some off them where all ready root bound

Total impulse buy at Food Basics this morning. Couldn’t resist - such a unique look to it! Top portion of the plant needs a little love and a lot of sun. Kalanchoe laciniata aka Christmas Tree Plant

Do you know any grow lights that meet the requirements to bring out bright colour in succulents? 6500 kelvins, 2000 lumens+, energy efficiency C or above are the priority

Just woke up to something green and small poking out of my snake plant pot🙃 It’s a little late in the year to repot but should I begin to consider it?

Anything wrong with this guy? Started turning brown/redish

This is a friendly reminder that it's okay to make mistakes; things take time, and time can heal everything. ¡Never give up and keep fighting until the end! I thought my Portulacaria were thriving, but they have suddenly started losing leaves. I'll put all my efforts into making her look beautiful again. @biophiscape 🌿

Can someone confirm if I am overwatering this plant please. I water on schedule. Maybe I don’t have it in a sunny enough spot? I’m new at succulents and not having much luck with them. Thanks for the advice!

Should I be concerned about this “chalk” on my paddle plant?

So I’ve propped some lil guys and they’re all rooting like crazy ! What now ? 😆
