Hello! I’m new here, I’ve had my plants several years but have had no clue how to care for them really til now! I have 2 succulents and 4 cacti needing repotting into pots with drainage holes. I repotted them once before (into pots without holes - whoops!) about 3ish years ago and it was such a nightmare I’ve put off doing it again 🙈 They also need some better substrate as they’re currently in potting soil. Not sure how they’ve survived so far to be honest! Does anyone have tips on how to repot cacti without getting spiked too much? Last time I used over gloves and they didn’t help too much. Also any other hints and tips I should know? Pics of the gang in case type makes a difference!

Poor Rocky didn’t survive my trip to Mexico! 😫🪴 He’s headed to the graveyard soon to be with his brother, Granite, and sister, Nettie! Anyone have advice for my next split rock attempt!?

Ok question here. I have some small aloe plants and it seems like they are just staying so small. They are pups from the mother plant, but seems like they have been the same size forever! Also is there a secret to encourage my snake plant to grow!! It hardly ever gets a new stalk.

Not sure why my Chin Cactus is changing colors and getting spots when I repotted him? Very draining soil, in full sun after being acclimated, 80-100* F weather. Am I missing something? Should I move him into shade?

SOS I haven’t watered my boobie cactus but once this month and nothing before that. It’s squishy at the base and looks rotted but the taller one has new growth. I’m not exactly sure what to do, I don’t want to have to cut them back, but if they are rotted I guess that’s the only option. Is it possible that it’s just too hot outside? They get full sun for 6 hours at 80-100 degrees F

What is up with my jade 😱 It’s been very healthy, but there’s a chunk that has these shriveled, blackened leaves and a powdery coating.

Came into the greenhouse last night and he's fallen over should I give him a support stick or do I need to cut and try and root the long part in soil?

Happy Sunday everyone! I was wondering why parts of my succulent are coming off so easily. All I’ve been doing to it ever since I got it was water and fertilize it every 2 weeks. Am I doing something wrong? Please tell me if he’s okay or not! (Just so you guys know, another one came off easily a couple days ago)

Just here to show my new baby off 😁😁

Does anyone else have what I call the aloe “wrinkles”? Two of my aloe’s leaves are floppy and squishy, creating the wrinkled effect. I know that succulents can tell you when to water using their leaves, and squishy leaves are a sign of needing water, but I do tend to water pretty regularly I think (about once a month). So I moved it to a bright location than where I had it before. I did also have a leaf with rot that I took care of and I’m not seeing anymore problems with that. Anyone else have any suggestions about this?
