I took your advice and laid out some pieces of my succulent on top of some sand, and put it in the windowsill to get some sun. It’s been a couple of weeks, and the second picture is what it looks like now. What happens next? TIA!

My cactus has been helped! Lol The fake flower that was hot glued on has been removed. Sadly, my cactus didn’t come out unscathed- when I got the flower glue to loosen enough, it ripped out a few spines along with it, plus some small bits of glue are still wedged in there, but this will probably come off with time. Stores really need to stop doing this. Cacti already have beautiful flowers, there’s no need to falsely advertise something that’s already amazing. For anyone else who has this trouble: Get some rubbing alcohol and get it on the glue to dissolve it (turn your cactus towards the ground so the alcohol doesn’t get into the roots) Run it under some HOT water. Warm water didn’t work. Also try not to get the water into its roots Wiggle it around, if it doesn’t come off just yet, rinse and repeat until it does!

Help?? I bought this cute little guy, a Mammillaria haageana I believe, from Walmart about a week ago and have just learned that the purple bulb-like flower on top is fake! It’s hot glued on pretty well, but I want to remove it. I don’t really wanna stab myself though, or risk hurting my cactus by ripping off the flower. I’ve read that leaving it on isn’t a good idea because it can build up moisture, so it definitely needs to get removed. Any idea how?

I need help!! In trying to repot this beautiful guy I managed to snap the top off! 🥲 I did save the top and hope that it takes off but I’m worried about this guy. Will he be okay and recover? Should I do anything to help it along? It was doing so well and one of my favorites. I’m so sad!

Hello, everyone! I'm a gardening newb, but have become hooked very quickly. After adding my plants to his app, I've discovered they may not be receiving the proper light. Most specifically I worry about these cacti (meet Louis and Gregory). I was going to place a grow light strip on the underside of the top shelf, but that will only help the cactus on the bottom shelf. What do you recommend? This shelf is pretty well anchored into the wall, and I would like to keep it if at all possible. Thanks in advance!

I’m not sure that this is the right kind of gasteria, could someone suggest to me what is the right one? Thanks!

I recently inherited a couple Christmas cactus from my grandma, and there’s a bunch of white stuff on some of the segments. Is this something I should try to clean off, or it’s just how the plant looks now?

So I have these two remaining little succulents that are still alive from a larger succulent garden; the rest have died off and I’ve honestly just been neglecting it since. Would love to keep these ones alive though if I can. How should I go about propagating or replanting these? The soil has not been watered in several months and is incredibly dry, so is callusing even necessary? Can they grow in water? Any help is much appreciated!!

What should I do with this little guy? I've been smiling at his funny pose instead of chopping etc. He sits on my west facing windowsill (UK)

Has anyone ever tried propagating Kalanchoe in water? I know succulents are usually propped in soil but I’m curious to see it in water.

Can you propagate a haworthia with one of the broken stems or whatever they are like one of the big things came off a couple of them broke 😩🤦‍♀️ and I'm hoping somehow I can propagate from them

I just repotted all of these. How long should I wait until they are okay to water?

How long should I let these sit to seal off before putting in soil?

I was so afraid my Scarlet Hedgehog wasn’t going to come back after winter. I think we may be okay!

I wonder if this is a couple babies growing on my red shark tooth pagoda, or if this is how the plant grows it's really hard for me to tell me what the adult one looks like with this one's still a baby self🧐 I love rare plants
