I just bought this new plant and it accidentally fell out. I put it back in the dirt and moved the soil around a bit. Anything i can do to make sure it survives?

I had a friend give me a bunch of cuttings of these spineless prickly pear cacti. Got them all in dirt today!

Is anyone familiar with this Echeveria hybrid Raquel? I bought it several weeks ago because it was one I had never heard of. I think those are flower stalks coming out of the sides. But I don’t recall echeverias having leaves on the flower stalks. Very little info online. And I don’t think it’s etoliated because it’s under a very bright grow light. In fact it actually got a little burned from it. It has grown a lot in very shot time.

I have an old lady cactus with an artificial flower hot glued on top… I wanted to remove it a while ago, because it’s inhibiting the growth, but all I could find online was using a heat fun to melt the glue? I’m afraid of singing the fuzz on my cactus. So, I’ve been ignoring the problem but I really need to do something! What should I do?? 😩

So I’ve had this split rock for about three months. He’s been doing fine. I’ve been following Planta’s watering schedule. I looked at him today and his one side looked rotten and deflated with a white mold material. It was very sudden and I wonder if he has any chance or if this is somehow normal? I just looked at his roots and they look dry but I’m not sure how they are supposed to look since it’s pretty draught-resistant. I removed the (leaf?) which maybe I shouldn’t have done…

I was watching a thing and saw this plant in the winner's circle. So, by default, my plant is also a red ribbon winner.

I need help identifying this plant. The scanner says it's one called a "pig ear" but I'm just not sure that's right. I tried using google and it gave me so many different answers that I just don't know.

Hi! I just picked this up on clearance at my local store and it’s beautiful. It’s showing up as a Ficus Microcarpa on the identifier but it does not have a twisted trunk its growing on a stake. Anyone have one of these? Just thought I would share!

The roofers hurt my prickly pear! Any suggestions? Some are loose at the corking, some are broken/torn in the middle. Should I cut them off?

Help! Does anyone know much about domino cacti? Is this too far gone to save? I just transplanted it & checked the roots..they were dry. Planta said I under-watered it, which I assume is correct. Thanks!

I just repotted these four in a chunky soil. I hope they’ll finally be happy and thrive now. lol.

When googling, I was convinced that I could put this plant outside for the summer (in Ontario). Now I’m second guessing this. What have people found? Before putting it outside, this plant and I have not been getting along over too well for the past few years 😅

Hello! My snake plant, Calypso, has several pups growing right now, and is love to propagate them but don’t know how. Any advice or tips for propagation are extremely appreciated! I’ve tried propping from leaf cuttings but have failed each time. I’ve heard that pup propping is more successful, but I want to be careful and not waste any of these babies. Thank you so much!

I bought this about a month and a half ago, maybe closer to two months now. I just found out it’s a Donkey tail through the plant ID. It has a few tails (not sure if that’s the appropriate term for this plant). It’s very delicate and the leaves fall off. I’m wondering if I should cut the long empty pieces and propagate the ends. You can see new growth near the roots. I’m just not sure what to do. I’ve had other succulent plants before, but this is my first Donkey Tail. Will leaves grow in the this empty space. Does cutting the tails help? Any suggestions?

My string of pearls is starting to die and I’m crazy about it! Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Ignore the prickly pear in the pot lol these sprouted out of the original prickly pear soil and I’ve been letting them grow for about 6 months trying to figure out where they came from or what they are. At first I thought maybe baby prickly pears but now I’m wondering otherwise. Anyone know? Google wasn’t very informative.

Hello! New plant carer here! I was wondering what succulent food/fertilizer you use? I’ve had an echevaria for almost a year now have done nothing with her I lowkey forgot 😭 and she’s thriving. But going forward with new ones I’d like to take proper care of them ᵕ̈
