Hello cactus friends. Please help. I’ve had this cactus for years but only recently repotted it. Which may have been a mistake! I used specialist cactus potting compost and follow Planta’s care plan but it looks like it’s rotting at the base. Do you think it’s dead?
succulent was more orange/yellow when i first got it & now it’s turning green….. does this mean it’s happy?!?!?
Hello!! I’m new to the succulent world and I’m diving in head first. Question: What is the best insecticide to use on my succulents? I have other plants and have noticed a few gnats around one of my philodendron plant and have treated them but I want to treat my succulents as well. I’ve researched and looked at many options but it getting very confusing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and helpful !☺️
I think I need to give up on succulents :( I was actually keeping them alive for once, then Arizona summer came and melted all of them.
Hii~ I was wondering if anyone uses fertilizers for their cactus and succulents? If so, which brands do you guys use?? 🥺 LMK, TY!
Just repotted my aloe last night to add red lava rock to the mix. Same pot but completely different soil. It’s looking pretty limp… should I water it or let it sit for a week like I’ve been reading?
Hi! Wondering what to do if I see a spider in my Cactus pot? 😳 don't want it to make my Cactus its home.
Second time this is happening the flower stalk grew, and now it is flailing and looking weak without flowering. Anything I can do to help?

my echeveria succulent is doing so well 🥺 here are her progress photos from when i first got her to today!
I have just potted 3 of my stem cutting from my jade plant after letting them callus over for two weeks does anyone have any tips on how to keep them alive without them getting root rot or drying up . Thank you in advance
I am trying to propogate my cactus which had babies growing of it I have taken them of and are allowing them to callus over before planting them in soil. If anyone has any ideas on how to pot in to soil the most efficent way without causing any root rot I woul be very great full.
I am currently trying to propogate my echeveria and wondering how to water the leaves without getting the coating of them wet.
My baby is having babies!!! First time propagating a succulent! 🤞🤞🤞
This one, Opuntia Rufida, is supposedly easy, but I decimated - and gave up on - several when I was starting. I struggled so hard trying to figure out why it was always wrinkled. Big Wig is the last try on that species, and that outdoor pic is from 2023. Note also the ladybugs having a meal - they groomed the heck out of it last week.
First photo is 3 weeks ago when I potted them together, second is today. Happy cacti! I didn’t realize how fast that top section had grown!
My silver torch cactus is beginning to look a bit wobbly and I’m not sure if I should re pot it (considering even a smaller pot) so it has more stability. Does this pot width / height look correct for a plant this size? Also, it’s starting to grow skinnier on top so I’ve been considering an indoor grow light, any thoughts?
I'm not sure what she is, but she's flowering and I dont know what to do. She's one of the big succulents. Hand for size. Will she die now?
Found where I buy my food. Copiapoa species to match the other one I found two years ago. FB forums said it could be Copiapoa mollicula, but who knows. The more I learn, the more I confuse myself. Edit after doing some searches: Copiapoa Montana or Grandiflora. So niche.
Love my Snake and Zebra Haworthia Succulents!!!
