Help! I saved this little blue echeveria from Home Depot! I repotted it in succulent soil and the water seems to be draining good! It’s under a grow light! What else can I do to help it?

I purchased this plant in this strawberry pot. There were chicks in the lower holes, but they died. One on the top is now dying. I keep it under a sun light. I know I have been watering it too much. I started by watering from the bottom, and that’s when the lower hens died. So I started watering from the top. Still too much water because I was watering every 7-10 days. Is there anything else besides the water that is causing the plants to die?

I have a pink butterfly kalanchoe. I had it in my office window. It looks a bit leggy to me, so I’m moving it outside. I have it in the shade today but will gradually give it more sunshine. My plan is to keep it outside until the temps drop to 50 at night. What else should I do to help with its growth while it is outside? There are 3 leaves on the bottom of the stem that just lay on the soil. Could I clip those and propagate?

Hello dear succulent and cacti lovers, I have amassed a small collection of succulents due to my son’s interest. Not that I don’t like them, it’s just that I have a north-facing balcony with no direct sunlight and have had difficulty keeping them alive. The small collection in the photo is what I am currently trying to keep happy, and have added grow lights to do so. My ghost plant was quite leggy but seems to be much happier with these lights! I have 2 questions: 1. My split rock as cute as it is has not shown any signs of growth. It seems to be healthy, but I am not sure if I should expect anything from him. 2. I have a pot of 3 succulents in the back my son gifted me for Mother’s Day. Should I separate them? Francesco Baldi is growing some aerial roots I’m not sure is normal, the Sunburst seems to be losing bottom leaves. The Jade seems content for now. Thoughts?

I initially thought that this was just corking, but upon removing some soil from the base, it appears that Cucumber is damaged. The base of the cactus is not necessarily plump and when I push on the skin I suspect that it may be hallow. Is this an external injury or could this be a sign of root rot? 😫 Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hello! This is Georgia, and according to Planta she's a crinkle leaf succulent (although please let me know if that might've been a mislabel). I've had her for several years (got her in college at a little RA dorm activity Soph. year), and have never really had issues. My question is abt the little fuzzy orange/brown bits growing on her (in the photo). When I've looked up crinkle leaf succulents, none of them seem to have those. Because health-wise she seems to be doing fine, I was curious about whether she might be a different type of succulent altogether, or if there's something I can do for them to not be there. Not a major deal, more of a curiosity partially bc they do fall off and it can get a bit annoying with cleanup is all. Plus, I would want to know if maybe there actually is something wrong with her health-wise so I can take better care of her. Thank you so much !

Help with identifying this plant would be appreciated. PlantSnap says it’s in the Crassula family but the images it’s showing me don’t look like my plant. I do think it’s in that family just none of the plants it provided.

Just looking for some tips! My succulent here (i’m not too sure what kind) was doing wonderful, purple and full!! And I followed what the app said (watering every 25 days, next to window, etc) and she’s become sad and lost most of her leaves!! If you have any tips for me please let me know!

I saw this lil guy at my local grocery store. I think it’s a moon cactus but I’m unsure about them. I heard they don’t last long so I passed on it. However, I can’t stop thinking about it. Are they worth it to go back for? Thoughts about them?

I got this succulent a little over a year ago and it’s never been doing great so I read that it might need more sun. I brought it to my office where I get a lot of sun and now its stem has turned almost a red and it is slowly drooping lower and lower. The first photo is today and the second is from before bringing it to my office. Any tips?

Hi, I have this Fairy washboard which I have been left in charge to care for by for by my 6 year old daughter. Thanks to this app I have had no issues caring for it and can see it is thriving! My question is the flower/ stem growing out of the middle is there something I should do with it? Can I replant it? What can or should I do with it? Any help will greatly be appreciated.

I’m considering repotting my Crassula to larger pot (it’s currently in a 2” pot). But the next size up available is a 4” pot. My questions are: 1) should I just fill the 4” halfway full of soil so as to not be an excessive amount for the size plant? 2) or do I just leave it in the 2” pot for a while longer? It’s getting top heavy. 3) or what’s advised?

Hi, need some help here.my plant is growing big and the stem isn't as thick, and it's starting to lean, and i've noticed that the pot is what's holding it upright, what can I do? And is it in too small, a pot.

This is an echeveria pulidonis. I got it about a year ago and it has grown beautifully but recently I noticed one of the lower leaves doing something weird almost like splitting? No physical damage has occurred that I can recall(other than the one leaf that appears broken off). About a week ago I looked again and realized it was actually multiple leaves that had this, some on the sides some in the middle. It’s only on about four of five leaves on the bottom, but I have never seen this before and can’t find any information. Planta says over watering(root rot) but this plant does not have root rot as far as I can see and I only water when the soil is completely dry. And other than this issue the plant is thriving. Does anyone know what this is?

ADVICE PLEASE 🙏🏼 I got these cute little succulents about 1 year ago & they’ve been growing their little hearts out on the window sill. Family watered while I was abroad & I got back to find this… I know bottom leaves shrivel off as a succulent grows upward…. But they’ve seemed to grow a little *too much*. Tried looking in plant books & online & yet I can’t find good guidance on why to do when such a large percentage of the plant dried out. Most places say to just pick off the dead leaves - but there’s so much stem on these that they can’t even hold themselves up. What do I do? Put them in bigger pots & give them support? Can I chop off/bury the entire stem & just leave the healthy tops? The tops are still growing - I see them sprout new leaves & get taller every week.
