I just got this from a thrift store I don’t know what kind it is and have never owned a succulent. What are the first things I should do?

Help! My prickly pear cactus is unwell at the bottom but thriving at the top. I was instructed to cut the rot off but it looks like it spread. Can it be saved?

Hello, for any aloe people out there, I have had this aloe plant for a few years living in an apartment with a north-facing shady balcony. I realize it wasn’t getting enough light but was able to keep this relatively healthy, albeit thinner than I would like. I now have moved to a place with an east-facing balcony (since April) and nice sunlight throughout half the day, and bright light rest of the day anticipating this to be good for my aloes, but not sure timeline what to expect. This one was browning at first so thought maybe too much, and brought it back into a corner with less sun. It seems overall healthy, and it has only been 4 months, but still the lower leaves tend to buckle near the stem and eventually deflate. What causes this? I don’t think I overwater and I keep it in a terracotta unglazed pot with good drainage. I have recently separated a pup from this, about 2 months ago I think, and the pup seems to be recovering with only the 2 bottom leaves buckled but the rest ok, but looking kind of pale. Any insight would be appreciated!

I’m still kind of new to keeping succulents. I’m noticing that a lot of my succulents are growing aerial roots from their stems. I’m not sure if they need more water or something else….

My little stone garden! :)

Im starting to get into cacti after a lot of my tropicals have been getting scorched by my west window. I plan on getting Cereus repandus and spiralis. I’m looking maybe for interesting Euphorbia but don’t really know. What do you guys recommend for faster growing cacti?

Love to see the new growth

Star fish flower cactus blooming. Love the fuzzy flowers!

So let’s say you had a bunch of half alive succulents that you didn’t really know what to do with. You threw them into a large empty pot of soil and forgot about them.. Then they started growing… and growing… and they were so cute at first that you let them be but now you don’t know how to separate the Frankenstein that you created. How would yall hack this up? What would you do?

My Turtle Back Shell (Dioscorea Elephantipes) is actively growing 🥰. I wish I could put her on an elevated stand so she can trail down beautifully. But with my succulent grow light, space is so limited 😮‍💨

Hello everyone, I’m fairly new to the world of succulents and, up until now, I haven’t gravitated toward them as much as other houseplants. However, I’d like to expand my collection and learn how to properly care for a few succulent varieties. I often find myself admiring them at local plant nurseries, but I’ve never been quite sure which ones are best for a beginner. For those with experience growing succulents, what species would you recommend as a good starting point? Any advice on care, common mistakes to avoid, or beginner friendly varieties would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
