Anyone know what this white stuff is on my jades? Best way to remedy it if it’s a concern?

I think I need to repot this guy but when is a good time to do that? It has tripled in size since I got it and want to give it time to grow. Any advice?

I understand that they shouldn’t decrease in size as they grow; I just don't know what to do differently. Any helpful tip would be appreciated.

My oldest plant (at least 7 years old, can’t really remember, bought pre-hobby madness) has flowered for the first time! So beautiful!

Can someone help, my cactus spikes are soft but it's stuck in the dirt so I don't think it's the roots. I think it's over watering but any ideas on how to fix?

Do these aloe Vera roots look normal?

I’m very new to indoor plants. This is my new Jade plant. I’ve had her for about 3 weeks. I’m wondering how will she grow? Up? Out? Both?

Rooting cacti..... so i recieved pups from my parents in Dec, they are seemingly fine. No discoloration and firm. However still not rooting!!! Is there some trick to this? I have some things I was going to try with humidity levels, but don't want to lose the pups, so figured I'd ask if any of the Cacti people know of a good tips.

Shiba Inu said it’s been one week, let’s wait 2 more weeks to see some hair growing. Just brought this cute shiba rice bowl and drilled a bottom hole, I will just keep the soil dry until the roots come out

Hi all! I’ve had this aloe plant for almost 4 years now. Recently, the bottom leaves on the plant have either shriveled up and dried out or the tips of the leaves have started to turn reddish-brown. The top of the plant is fine. It’s 1-2 ft from a south facing window and has been in this spot for 2 years no problem. No extreme temperature changes or deviations from its watering/fertilizing schedule… any clue what could be going on??

Hi, I'm trying to help my mom take care of this succulent she got as a gift for Christmas. From what I've been told, it's supposed to be an Echeveria Rainbow. She initially planted it in a ceramic pot that didn't have very good drainage and watered it whenever the top bit of soil seemed dry. It started dying, so she transplanted it into a different ceramic pot with better drainage, then watered it well afterward. This was about a couple weeks ago. It hasn't been watered since, but now the leaves are shriveling up and falling off. The strange thing is, it's also had new leaves come up. Would anybody have any ideas about what's wrong with it and how we could fix it? Thank you!

I understand it's not a succulent, but it's close lol. I bought this bromelaid as a tiny plant from the dying section at lowes. When I bought it it was 1 plant, mostly burgundy with some green and white spots all over it. It has multiple many times over, but it's lost its burgundy color and none of the new sprouts have any spots. Can anyone tell me what happened? Can I do something to get the burgundy color back? 😩

My aloe has these weird brown spots but it seems healthy otherwise. They’re on quite a few leaves but these two are the worse, but they don’t seem to be rotting or anything… could it be sunburn, overwatering, or is it something worse-?

Ive got some succulent seeds in the cart to buy. But as far as starting them, just use a regular peat based mix and put under a humidity dome? Or no humidity dome? Which works best?

**succulent care & plant ID** Hi all! I recently potted these succulents in Succulent Miracle-Gro and I’m wondering…did I just completely doom them? The soil doesn’t seem all that great. I also purchased Rosy soil so my questions are: should I repot my succulents in the Rosy soil and if so will they be ok until another month or so when it’s warmer?? Also, could anyone ID this cactus?? (Last photo) Thank you!!

Hi guys! So i’m a new succulent mom and I fear I went a little in over my head with a Snowflake Aloe Vera & I was wondering if this is a result of root rot? I am utterly heartbroken, when i was checking my plants, I noticed this little guy barely hanging on and when i touched it, it kinda just softly came off in my hand. But everything looks healthy so Im confused. Thank you in advance!
