Before, middle, now. This pair dropped all their leaves at the end of summer 2024; I decided that their perfect spot behind a curtain with a screen and morning sun was too reclusive - I wanted to see it more often. Now, there are pups with leaves *and* little pink flowers.

I have a rice cactus that is pretty suddenly in decline. I’m noticing some orange stuff on the cactus then the segments shrivel and die. Is this a fungus? Can it be helped?

I have about 5 succulents in pots this shape. I had 6, but somehow the drainage wasn't working and the soil was like soup at the bottom. Do you think it's the shape of the pots? I use succulent soil with perilite, it always drains out the bottom.

Just propagated these two adorn pups from a Guinea Fowl- Aloe. This is my first time being a pup owner so I’m wondering if anyone has any advice as I just planted them today.(no water just new soil, and I’m not sure how much sun needs or really how to start😅)

I tried to identify this cactus but the name doesn't match the characteristics. Does anyone know the correct name for this cactus?

What kind of cactus this is?

I need to replant my string of pearls. I got a shallow dish. I’m going to lay them on top of the soil. But what soils should I use? Should I make my own. Is store bought sufficient? I have regular sold, orchid mix, and succulent soil on hand.

What do I do with the dried up flowers? Leave it alone or cut them all off?

How do I fix this guy? Get a stick and prop him up or chop and prop? And how do you chop and prop this one? Thanks for any advice!

Hello! We just bought this dragon fruit from the hardware store garden center about a week ago. I know it has spider mites because I see webs so I’ve been spraying it with neem oil (that’s why it looks wet right now) but I feel like there’s probably some other problems and I’ve just started noticing these orange spots and I can’t figure out what they are. Any ideas? What can you tell me about the health of this plant? I tried the diagnostic tool, but it didn’t help.

I have a gollum something that is getting pretty lop sided, if I take off that part on the left how can I propagate it? Thank you!

I never get tired of seeing a beautiful flower on a rugged and natural cactus.

This plant has been happy for months. I live in Los Angeles where succulents thrive outdoors year round. It’s in a pot near a north-facing wall where it gets a mix of sun and very bright light. Recently the leaves have gotten these black marks. I’m not sure what’s going on. Thoughts or advice?

Time for these babies to get indoor. They've grown outdoor basking in full sun for 6 months.

This is my Silverball Cactus she’s supposed to bloom a flower in the middle. I’ve had her for a year and she hasn’t grown much. The other day the enter thing fell over out the pot. I dug a hole in the center & tried replanting it but it’s not staying. Any help? Should I repot with new soil & rocks? Thanks you for your help!

Haven’t had this plant long. Had these yellow areas appear after I watered her a couple days ago. She was dry when I watered her. I don’t know if it’s connected but before this she grew an orange “appendage?” thing that then withered away in a few days. Any thoughts? I love her and don’t want to lose her 💚
