I’m such a noob with cactus care. I had better luck when I was totally ignorant lol I was just checking out the mealy damage I assumed I would have but all I can see is the roots are gone except for the tap and it feels fine. Not mushy anywhere but definitely dormant or dead. What do I do now? 🧐 How do I get it to grow roots and save it? Any advice is greatly appreciated 🙏 *Update: I’ve learned that the smell of pine needles is a sign of life! And the roots missing is from dormancy. I’m so relieved 😅 but I’m putting it in a clear pot so I can watch for roots

Hi everyone! I got this succulent about 2 years ago and he seems to be doing alright, but he’s leaning a lot— are they supposed to do that? Could it be because of the separation in the soil? There are also some brown/dried out leaves at the bottom so I’m not sure if that means he’s not getting enough water (which seems impossible?) or if it’s a normal thing and I just need to remove them. I rotate my plants pretty regularly so I don’t think it’s an issue with the direction of the light. My guess is that I probably just need to add a bit more soil to even out the top? Thanks for any suggestions! 🫶

Purchased this cactus unrooted. I'd like it to straighten out and unsure of any issues as it has some black spots on the stem. Here's the current set up with soft plant ties and stakes. Any suggestions?

I pulled this stem from a pile of off cuts near my school and was wondering if I could nurse this back into a healthy Aloe Vera plant. When I got it it had some leaves (branches?) but someone mutilated it while I was occupied and I don’t know if it’s a lost cause or not. I know nothing about the health of it before I got my hands on it and would appreciate any help/info I can get, thank you.

Does anyone know how to propagate a ripple jade? I have one and every time i try to propagate the leaves, they just get soggy and eventually die. Any tips?

I was told to water these when they get a little wrinkly but it’s been 3 and a half weeks since I got this and I’ve never watered it yet! To me the pearls look less vibrant and juicy than when I got it but I’m so scared. I love this plant and want to make sure I’m doing right by its care needs! Any advice?

Hi there👋, does anyone know what type of cactus this is? It was at a supermarket and labelled Haworthia which it is definitely not 😂

Just brought they home!!!!! I think it’s an Aeonium Sunburst? They had 20% off all plants at my local plant store, so I was really restraining myself 😬

I guess this is a good sign that it’s still alive! I have been trying to keep these pups alive since autumn and I check them every day. The chicken grit layer on top has been so helpful. It changes color when wet and protects the soil

All the rich red faded, which is further putting ideas in my head around how to get a specific color to stick around. I’m not super brave with intentional experiments, though. Anyway, not to disparage the plant, as she’s beautiful. (As I was thinking of puns for “harmsii,” the image of Halsey sitting on a throne with her child popped into my head.) The orange flowers didn’t quite make it the first time around, and the etoliation is still a little puzzling, as she was in a sunny window for a while.

Sometimes I just have to resist squeezing one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

How can I help this poor plant? I think it was overwatered. Then it pulled out from the soil. And now it’s been like this for months. Anyway to get the roots to take again? Just leave it alone?

I just wanted to share my succulent bowel 🥰

I’m nursing this plant back to health. I’ve added a grow light and it’s already helped the leaning so much. It’s continuing to “dry out” since it was overwatered. Should I trim it at all? I’ve had this for 4 years and went through a rough time and neglected all of my plants.

Hi guys! I was just wondering if any one had any experience with cylindrical snake plants. I have had this plant for about 2 years and the largest pup is probably around 10 months. I was just wondering if it was normal for the pups to look more flat, anyone know if they will eventually become more cylindrical? Or if it’s something am doing that is causing them to grow this way? Thanks :)

My jade plant had in two different days two of the biggest leaves fell off suddenly any tips.

Can anyone identify this cute little guy? I got him as a gift and was told he is a dragon fruit cactus but the app is bringing up other options… I just want to be sure so I can give him the best care so any tips are appreciated too!! 😊
