I was afraid the mother plant would die so here is my first Echeveria propagation. Actually my first propagation of a plant ever.

Not sure if this makes me a “good or bad” caretaker 🤣. But wanted to share cause I think this is fascinating. So as the weather heated up and the sun got brighter I guess, I noticed this plant (fairy washboard I believe) and also another one with not as good of pics (Haworthiopsis venosa) got sunburned. Or maybe this was happening for a bit and it finally dawned on me it’s sun burn. But what I want to share is that I moved them out on Sunday. So 4 days later and they are already greening up. It was really cool to watch the transition. And for the fairy washboard it just happened super fast. One day it was that red brown color and the next day, green. It also looks more plump and healthy. I’m not really clear on if sun burn is bad for all succulents I’ve heard some don’t mind it. But this plant definitely looks healthier with a few days out of direct sun. 😅

I have a lot of succulents but have trouble knowing when to water these two. One is a euphorbia cristata and the other is a fairy castle cactus. With most succulents you can tell by touch or feel when to water but these I need to tell by looking. I try to be aware of how plump they are or not, but still not sure how far to let them go. Does anyone have some suggestions knowing when these guys need to be watered. I use Planta of course but use it as a guide only.

a while back more poor cactus turned all brown i was watering it everyday (i learned from my mistakes) and i believe i drowned it, it has this brown colour but has become more green over time, which seemed odd to me, those flowers growing from the top have definitely grown in the last few weeks, is it possible for it to regenerate or was it just not quite dead in the first place? ill have a picture now and when it was its healthiest, this is my first cactus so any help or advice is greatly appreciated

This poor thing is about 4 years old. It was recently moved from my mom’s office to mine. She’s not able to take care of them, so she asked me to. It did lose some stalks during the move. I usually kill plants and I’m afraid this one is my next victim. The soil is dry. I mist and water when the app says to. It’s in our waiting room that is mostly windows and it’s about 7 feet away from the window. I moved it to take better pictures. It lives at our coffee station. How do I save the yellowing ones from my murderous ways?

Those of you who saw my post about my dominos cactus blooming for the first time ever…I’m proud to say that yesterday was the day! One full week from bud to bloom and it wilted by 7pm last night. I got pictures around 6am, so I think I was pretty close to the peak bloom. Does anyone know how often this happens? I tried doing some research but couldn’t find a definitive answer. There’s another bud started that I’m not sure if it will open again this year or if it will wait like the last one did.

Anyone have any idea what this is?

I've had this for almost a year in this 3-inch pot, and it's so tiny and thin 🧐 I've been waiting for it to grow and it's not doing much is this how it's supposed to look?

My new echeveria has a little baby growing so how should I propagate this cause I’m new to plants and should I even propagate it?

Just wanted to share my Ghost Plant props’ progress! These guys are amazing—the pictures are about 3 months apart 🤍

EEK! I’m so excited…my cactus got little fuzzy bumps last year, but never fully flowered. This past week has been CRAZY to see the transformation actually happen. The pictures are from Tues the 22nd, Wed the 23rd, Thurs the 24th and then tonight (the 27th). I think if I did my research right, the flowers will only bloom for a short while, so I’ll have to look into what to do after they are done blooming.

Just picked this up yesterday. I thought it looked pretty cool.

Hey so i know what this cactus is, its a Sun Goddess cactus but I was wondering has anyone added their sun goddess to planta? I cannot find the correct cactus when i search or picture search it! I just want to make sure shes watered correctly and fertilized since its coming into summer soon!

Well, it appears I need some advice whichever I should with this. My best friend gifted me multiple aloe vera a year ago and sadly others has died off so that left me with this last one. Two days ago, I discovered spider mites and got to work and left it outside for one night to prevent any more infestation to my many more houseplants inside. Checking it over today, I was disappointed that no roots had been developed and thought maybe I did something wrong all along. I asked my best friend how I should approach with this, either chunk it in the trash or revive it? He thinks I should cut off the brown bottom and try to save the white parts and let it callous it over, but he isn’t sure either as we both don’t have experiences with aloe vera.

I need some help with this guy. There was a combination of too little light and too little water that lead to me thinking he had died this past winter, then he started growing again a couple weeks ago. This picture is about a week old and the tiny growth on the very top has already turned brown and looks to be dying while the new growth on the lower left is doing great. I know I can’t do anything about the super narrow brown areas, but what can I do to make him happier? He’s in a south facing window currently although I can and probably should move him under a grow light. I do need to repot him into something with drainage but he’s currently in cactus & succulent soil. He came with the googly eyes and I can’t get them off without causing more damage.

I’ve got a very sad looking Ruby Necklace. It was given to me & it was full of dried up branches. I trimmed a lot of them off & repotted it. It has a few very long healthy branches but I can’t seem to get it to fill in with new growth. Any ideas? TIA
