I got a new (previously being propagated) fishbone and was wondering if anyone had advice for taking care of one. Thanks!

My succulents seem to be getting “leggy” I believe that means they aren’t getting enough sun so I moved them to my window sill. I also have some that seemed to have dried up and leaves falling off and some that look “wrinkly” Please help. Should I put them under grow lights? More water? Less water? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Does anybody use a moisture meter? I have one but never really used it consistently. If you do use one, do you find it accurate and do you base a watering schedule by it. This plant stuff is all new to me, but I’m absolutely falling in love with the hobby!

So whilst inspecting my large cactus from my previous post, the entire body of it crumbled under its own weight and was very clearly rotted throughout from years of no drainage (I'm a bad plant mum). I have just propagated these 2 babies from it, the photos show where I cut them. Do they look okay? Or are they doomed too?

Hello all! I've grown this huge cactus for many years, it's slowly but surely started to look rotten(?). Since getting this app, and it telling me that this plant should have drainage holes (which it didn't for maybe 0 of those years!) I think I found the cause of the rotting, and have since repotted it. Is this cactus beyond saving? Is it time to propagate the new bobbly baby cacti growing on it? 😭🤞

Hi! I am a new plant mom and love it! I have a Christmas cactus that I found on the side of the road. It was alive in good condition so I scooped it up and repotted it! It had lots of flowers bloom from it but unfortunately the flowers keep dying and falling off. I water it when my app tells me to but it keeps happening. Any tips on keeping the flowers alive and thriving?! Thank you!!! (I attached a picture of all the flowers. They have all fallen off now :( )

Should I mist my Christmas cactus? I have more supplies coming in the mail but I’m still learning how to care for it.

I hear a humorous, tiny "roar" when I see that sun-stressed, chameleon leaf. Note the Kalenchoe that hitched a ride; both of these species tend to take over everything else in a suc arrangement, and I'm curious to see if they can peacefully coexist.

The plant is healthy without that .much light but I want to give it more light. What should I do?

One of my cactus' is doing really well but the other one has a giant brown dent in it. I give it plenty of water and sunlight. What does it need?

Home for the holidays… These plants are probably over 45 years old!! Pics don’t do their size justice. 🫣
