Hello! Hope yall & your plants are well! Im writing because I love my string of pearls. It’s my current favorite plant. However, I find myself feeling like I’m failing at keeping it alive. I’ve had it for 3 ish months, and it came much fuller and happier. I’ve lost 7-8 strings so far, and don’t want to lose anymore.
Are there any tips yall have for me to keep it alive and growing? I feel under educated.
Currently I have it living in a north west facing window in my bathroom. I water it when dry, about every 12-18 days. I just fertilized with 11-10-11 succulent & cactus plant food slow release.
Thank you! 💚

What's going on here. I am so concerned about this sedeveria fanfare. I repotted it when I got it about a month ago in a small 3 inch cement pot. Thought it would give off extra moisture easily. The soil has been drying up pretty quickly, so I have been watering it once a week after checking with a moisture meter that the entire pot is dry. The plant started loosing leaves pretty consistently (I thought it was adjusting to the new environment, living indoors under a grow light), I thought it wasn't getting enough water to absorb hence it is using it's reserves in the leaves. But it continues to lose color and looks sad, droopy. I am worried the plant might be dying and I can't help it. Notice the darker photo is from a month ago.

September 2022 I received 4 Purple Prickly Pads from Arizona that I had purchased through Etsy.
By the Spring of 2023 I had accidentally drowned 2 of the 4 pads.
By Fall of 2023 2 new pads had formed on top of the pads I did not kill.
Now mid Summer 2024 and I have 8 Purple Prickly Pads. 2 turned into 4. 4 turned into 8.

I bought this plant today and was needing some help with ID. My research is showing a lot of similar looking cacti. My current guess is a White Barrel Cactus or a Mother of Hundreds

I just love these guys. Mammillaria Magnifica. I keep moving everyone else around in this blazing sun trying to protect them and then when I look at these guys, I just leave them be. They’re getting more sun than anyone else and doing great it seems.

Hi! My Blue Myrtle is worrying me. Watering about every 6 days and it’s dry when I do. Under a shade cloth in this Arizona sun so it shouldn’t be getting burned by that. It’s close to the wall, but not as close as it looks, maybe 10”. The dark at the top has worsened over the last week or so. A little on the right side as well. Any ideas please? I hope you don’t say it’s the heat from the wall. I’m really worried about that. I may be able to bring it out another 6”.

How long does it take for a string of pearls to grow roots in water? Mine rotted on part of the string, so I cut the healthy part off, and put it in water because so many people said they had success growing roots in water for this particular plant. It’s been in water for over a week now, maybe two. I’m not quite sure. Any other tips are appreciated too! 😊🪴

I just got this echeveria about a few days ago and it was doing great until I put it in sun and it doesn’t seem to be doing so good. I gave it some water and repotted it. Should I give it more water? Dampen the soil?

Anyone know what kind of cactus this is? I have a feeling this pot is way too small so I put it in a larger pot (I don’t have a picture of it in its new pot yet) I was curious if it does need more room since it looks like smaller cacti are coming off it. Will this cactus grow taller? I’ve had it for a year I think

My echeveria dick’s pink is growing UP instead of OUT and looking really bare. I know growing upward can be a sign of too little sunlight but when I put her in a more sunny spot I feel like her leaves start to get burnt/sun damage. Any suggestions? I feel like I suck at caring for echeverias & idk what it is 😭

Can anyone please tell me what’s going on with my zebra plant? The planta experts are telling me to check the roots but I’m not sure it being root bound would cause this? I have another larger one and the same spot and it’s doing just fine. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you!

Could anyone confirm what’s going on here?
These are 2 of my propagations, the one on the left has very clear roots coming through, but the one on the right has what looks like one red root? Why is it red? Is it even a root? It wasn’t there a week ago🤣

Can anyone help me identify these 3 cactuses I have? I am having a hard time identifying it with the app I'm thinking maybe because they are too close to each other. Thank you :)

Little before and after here on my friend’s succulent. She hasn’t watered it in over a week. Any advice? She’s going to repot it with new soil but any other tips would be appreciated!
