Can anyone give me some tips to encourage my aeonium arboreum schwarzkopf to grow faster? They just donât seem to be doing that well. Theyâre under a grow light all day and Iâve been fertilising them according to Plant schedule.
1st pic: when I bought it about 2 months ago (only shows 1 side). 2nd pic: now. I canât believe it already shot out a death bloom and itâs so small.
Hi! *Beheading question! Iâm not sure if my other posts are visible here but Iâm very new to keeping succulents, and VERY new to keeping them alive. Still not sure Iâm doing that, but we persist. My plant IDs might be off, so please feel free to correct me! I have an important question about my echeveria chroma (again, not 100% on the ID, but it was advertised as such) and potential beheading! Before I get too crazy and have to learn how to properly behead a plant, can anyone tell me if this is beheading material, decent growth, etc? I think I expected this plant, as an echeveria, to be more compact (I have an echeveria painted lady that is very stereotypically beautiful!) but upon arrival it had a bit of height to it. Much to my surprise and delight, this thing has been GROWING. I think there was new leaf formation daily for the first few weeks. Itâs gotten slower now as the two bigger ârosettesâ have formed at the top, but when the plant arrived it was very plain looking and had no rosette formations. I think theyâre beautiful, and they look like a good thing, but I donât want to ruin them before they get a chance to thrive! Iâve had it for about a month and have attached photos with the newest leaves, both with the area I am concerned about circled and without, for visibility! I donât want this little portion of the plant to die due to its position in between two other main stems, but I have NO idea what Iâd be getting myself into removing part of this plant and attempting to get it to root, etc. Overall, the plant seems really healthy and happy (yay!) but I want to keep it that way, and I know with succulents, typically, less is more. I also understand that this is not propagating, so the entire process would look different than removing a single leaf, and thereâs a chance the removed leaves/rosettes/baby plant(?) wonât make it or Iâll traumatize the original plant. What would you do?! If thereâs any info I can add that would be helpful, please let me know! I appreciate all information in advance â the internet is vast and conflicting and I consistently get great, helpful feedback on this app. Any advice is welcome, and highly appreciated! Thank you! (Please ignore the ~etoliated leaf. Weâre doing our best here and it was really long when I got it!)
Does anyone know how I can save these ? I got them from a student who was going to use them for a school project but ended up not needing them.
My sweet little sand dollar cactus is blooming! đ„č
This was shoved under a shelf at HD. Come to me.
New succulent unlocked! Researching into how to look after him but any and all advice is appreciated!! đȘŽ
My largest cactus got entirely too big for his pot and also started rotting because the center trapped water. So after propagation i have 5 (plus a sixth I cut off last year from a branch that hung far out of the pot). Now i just need to find people to gift all my extra cacti to
Hey guys, this is my cactus named Jack. Iâve had him for about a year and he was given to me as a gift. I have never repotted him and he seems very content in his pot. I was just wondering if anyone had an idea how old he is based off of his looks?? Iâve always been curious. Also, does anyone think I should repot him?
I'm starting to get obsessed with cacti does anyone have any suggestions for easy, flowering, cacti?
I found this adorable cactus at a nursery today. It was sold as a â2.75â color ball cactusââŠI believe it is some kind of gymnocalycium but Iâm not sure what type. Does anyone have any tips on figuring out what type she might be? She also has no green on her anywhere. She is purple with pops of pink. There is a bud so photosynthesis must be happening; but is the purple sun stressing? Should that actually be a green color?
I have a Copper King I love and wanted more. Just received these in the mail. Anyone know what these black things are? Never had them on mine.
June 3rd vs June 28th, 2025. The two pads in a cement planter are pups from last year. I can confirm they are slowwwwww growers. Note that this was my first "big plant," and it went through all kinds of naive experiments - it also used to be a squirrel snack.
Things are growing! I'm particularly excited that the little red gymnocalycium is finally budding. I refused to graft it, and I stand by that haha. And my paws are going absolutely nuts with flowers.
Heeeelp! Anyone knows what is happening to my cactusđ„Č
Can someone help me ID this? It looks similar to a jade but that doesnât feel quite right đ§
Hope Iâm posting this in the right place. I have a zebra plant (I think) that Iâve had for a couple of years. Itâs growing tall and falling over due to its size. I have never repotted it. Whatâs the best way to keep this plant growing strong and upright if possible? Thank you! Aspiring plant dad
What is wrong with my African milk tree? Is it too much light?
Hey guys, I got the succulent a few weeks ago and had it indoors at first, but it seemed to not be getting enough sunlight so for the past few days Iâve had it outside in my front yard area kind of be beside my front doorstep. It did rain pretty hard yesterday or the day before and we were so busy trying to bring our big plants inside. We totally forgot that one. Iâm not sure if the rain did it or too much sun, but the leaves are falling off please someone help.
My succulent went from the healthy side (bottom left) to a shriveled mess (top right) in 5 days. All I did was water it 4 days ago after 18 days and a heat wave (last few days) . Could this be too much water or that it got shriveled up from the heat? Any way to revive it? Help!
