RIP to my echeveria colorata. Lost her to root rot after repotting just a week ago. Apparently she was NOT happy with the slightly different mix as that was the only thing changed. Noticed a mushy bottom leaf while watering a neighbor and then saw her center leaves were completely black. Hoping some of her healthy leaves propagate. 😔

My mountain fire succulent is blooming again. Just started opening today and a few more buds developing. I typically let it bloom and then cut it right back to a short stub and start over. A very resilient plant.

It’s already cold enough here in central Canada to trigger my thanksgiving cactus to bloom. About 50 blooms set to open in the next week or so but this one decided today was a good day.

I can’t even go to the market at 7 am without running into mass quantities of plant “decor” that needs saving. (Note: Coffee and beef broth will not be combined.) This whole section is one big tragedy. There are so many amazing plants, all soaked. My brain was going in a lot of directions figuring out how to walk away or dive in. I decided on this Pringlei (pringlii?), which is a mature version of one I spent a year trying to save. Just walking up and down the aisles, getting “nice cactus” from people stocking the shelves.

Hi, I was wondering what soil I should be using for my succulents? The mixture I've been using is compost, sand and small stones but the soil stays wet for 5 days sometimes... any tips?

Help with cactus ID? :)

Will my cactus be okay? It developed some squishy black flesh that I carved away. This “scab” is what remains after it dried out. Will it recover? One photo to show the damage, another to see how far he’s come!

Warning about fake flowers ! So - I had this cactus with these cute flowers on, but I wasnt sure if they were real or fake. I asked this circle and got mostly people saying they looked fake. They didn't look like right kind of flower, they weren't growing out of the areolas, etc. but I was still very confused because I was SURE they werent glued on, I could see they were "growing out" Today I decided to just pluck one out with tweezers and have a look. To my shock the flowers were all stuck inside of my cactus with long sticks. Not glued on. I'm not sure if theyre real flowers from some other plant with toothpick kind of sticks or just fake flowers altogether. But I'm pretty sure this is not how cactuses grow flower. It's left huge deep holes all over my cactus:( Has anyone ever seen this before? No one seemed to know about this kind of thing when I was figuring out if they were fake flowers or not. I'm in England, so I don't know if this is just something they do in the UK? I thought I'd share to warn anyone else who has these type of "flowers" and of course, if I have somehow managed to get this wrong.

Hi! My prickly pears have been thriving after recently propagating them. This morning they looked normal but by noon I noticed a couple of them beginning to wilt. I know they’re not overwatered, but I think it’s too cold in my office. Would putting them in a warmer temp help them snap back? Any suggestions?

Chet, again. I’m changing it to Chets until that twin splits. I’m curious as to what the fudge. Pics of potential outcomes included. Maybe it’s time to rethink the “it should only have two sets of leaves” idea.

So I live in northern Missouri and I’m trying to find succulent and cactus that are cold resilient and native that I could plant in my flower beds? I’ve found a couple species online but I wanted to see what people recommended to me? I know there are at least two kinds because my college has them in their native prairie plant flowerbeds around the science building year around.

Purchased locally a few weeks ago. I lost my mind when I saw it - there were three other pots like this. Look close on the middle nub and you’ll see the tiniest baby. I was committed to an outside experience, but it’s like three weeks until the season changes again. That indoor spot is the Sun King, so let’s see how it goes. Will I divide it and attempt some kind of financial gain? I have never come out ahead on shipping anything, so come see me ha. Copiapoa Crazy.

Just want to show off my little open air lithop terrariums I made today! My boyfriend had a bunch of closed “possible” geodes in the backyard, so I smashed them open and found some fun stuff! Left plenty of room for drainage in the bottom, so hopefully that will be enough. I barely was watering them as it is.
