OK, now that it’s gotten a little bit bigger can somebody help me identify this plant? Some thought it was an Apple cactus but it doesn’t seem to be acting like one. Photo attached If anyone knows what this is, is there anything I need to change potting wise? Right now I have it with my arid cacti, should I move it to my tropical cactus area?

Should I switch pots for any of my plants? Aloe def needs an upgrade so maybe I switch him into one of the other plants pots and then that that plant into a bigger one?

Hello 👋 At what point do I move these various succulents props to pots? There’s a jade, a purple delight, and a random little guy that might be a golden sedum. How do I plant them properly, horizontally as they lie or little sprout up/“leaf” in soil? Other tips/tricks on the transition? Appreciate the help, I rarely get them this far and don’t want to blow it now 😆🪴

The boobie cactus I gave to my mom suddenly had a growth spurt! She must have some magic touch

Look at the new growing sections on Eurus, my Thanksgiving Cactus! It makes me feel like I’m taking care of her correctly.

Hi all! I’m a newbie to plants. Does anyone have a recommendation for a type of Cactus that will survive uk winters for outdoor balconies. Hope someone can help! 😊

How do you guys measure aloes, agaves or any succulents? By height? By width?

Hello! Apologies if this post is confusing, whatever stage is before beginner..that’s me!! I’ve always wanted to be a plant mom and I got gifted this Echeveria and a Watch Chain for Christmas. Wondering if there’s any specific sign I should look for to make sure I’m doing everything right. I just gave the watch chain a good soak (I was unsure how long ago it was last watered soil was bone dry) but what is a good method for watering the echeveria? Would it be better to submerge it underwater, bottom watering or just a normal water? Also, if anyone knows the specific type of echeveria this is that’d be AMAZING. Honestly just looking for tips. I want to eventually get a monstera later in the year. I live in the 2nd floor of an apartment: my plants are currently in windows that face northeast. Thank you to anyone who read this LOL

Got this about a month ago from a friend, and it’s pushing out little baby paws. How absolutely adorable! 🥹

Was checking on all my overwintering cacti in my pop-up greenhouse today and was thrilled to see my Mammillaria bombycina (?) giving me two new pups! I've had this guy for 8 maybe 9 years now. Got him when he was just one small cactus about 3 inches big. Looks like I should repot him and do a little substrate refresh.

Heartbroken rn, just got this gorgeous dinosaur back cactus, but when I brought it home I’m now seeing a couple orange spots! Does this look like rust to you guys too? 😭

Hey Y’all! I have a baby aloe, I have put into a styrofoam cup to give it a drainage hole. Since I have moved her to a styrofoam cup she has grown and turned Green! But I haven’t water her in 6 days and the soil is super dry and I’m keeping her and my other 2 Aloes in the house for the cold season. I normally water my 2 Adult Aloes about every 20 days. But should I be watering the baby more frequently?

My Frithia pulchra has been in bloom since Thanksgiving. I didn't know the blooms lasted this long. It is such a treat to see everyday. It opens it's flower daily when the sun hits it and closes it when it's evening and night. The flower has also expanded a bunch and gotten bigger over time.

Some of these are recently propagated and the miniature cacti are fairly new. Planning to pick-up a new cactus later today, any recommendations that would complement this variety?
