And look at the comment section please and thank you! šŸ™

Woke up to find this little pleated inkcap mushroom had joined my echeveria. This plant has just recently been moved to the front porch but is still fairly sheltered from the elements. Should I be concerned?

I had my plant since February and now she is losing leaves like its rotting and falling off. And the soil smells bad. The other leaf part looks ok. What can I do to save her? Think I probably over fed my plant. When I downloaded this app I just learned how often to feed her.

For new plant owners I know some of y’all keep your cactuses and succulents in a garden just so you know if you get weed or poison ivy killer anywhere in that soil it will kill your plant also bleach it the absolute worst thing you can put around your plant!!!

Just picked up these two from Walmart from their VERY thin selection. Crassula Ovata ā€œogres earsā€ and Echeveria ā€œDark Moon.ā€ Anyone have any suggestions on keeping these guys healthy? Especially with the dark moon. I noticed she’s flowering and I don’t have enough experience with succulents to know what to do.

Hi! Does anyone know what succulent this is and why it’s making small clumps where old leaves have fallen off? I’m hoping it’s a good sign!

Any advice for how to help my succulent? I’ve owned it for years (since before I knew how to take care of plants), and I recently removed the dead parts and repotted it. It seems to be getting worse, though. The bottom drainage hole is plugged up with some moss to prevent all the soil from falling out, so maybe it’s retaining too much water? It does still get drainage, but not as much as it probably should. It’s in a very warm and sunny windowsill 24/7, and the planter is made from 3D-printed resin.

These spots started appearing on my Schlumbergera. I sent a request for information but I’m super impatient and hoping it can be fixed quickly. Does anyone know what these spots mean?

Hi all! How should I proceed with this plant? I was thinking about cutting the four new growths at the indicated spots I’ve drawn on the photo and planting them around the main plant.

What do I do with this lady? Chop up the giant growth and pot that, or just go on letting her live her best life?

This is my newest addition to my house. Still haven’t picked a name for her, but this is my shameless way to hopefully inspire some people to buy jade plants. They’re very hardy, they thrive on neglect, and my abuela’s cutting from her original plant turned THIRTY years old this year, and she and her tough little plant is what inspired me to get into gardening and houseplants. They may seem a little boring to some, but they’re my favorite plant of all time (and I’d love them to become more popular and sold more often in nurseries šŸ‘€)

Just a question, do succulents need things to enrich their soil often or are they just good as it is?

Just repotted my echeveria because the pot I got her in was a bit too small and didn’t have drainage holes! She seems very happy, but I did have to move the window she was in because the pot no longer fit in the other window. This window is south facing and she is in there all day with the blinds open, does this seem like enough sun for her? I have started rotating her too to make sure all sides get some sun!! I also gave her a good drink after repotting and she seems very happy!! I am still new to this so any tips are welcome!!!
