A flowering happy succulent

Worried about my cactus leaning. He’s become very top heavy, and the thin etiolated section is struggling. Should I get some supports or will he straighten up on his own?

Hi everyone! I really want to be able to care for succulents, but every time I get one, it withers and dies. This sweet little golden sedum had so many leaves a few weeks ago, and they keep turning brown and translucent and falling off. Am I wrong to put them in terra cotta pots with succulent - specific potting medium? How do I know when to water? I will not be defeated by succulents 😅

Practically the same plant has two different light requirements. Jade Necklace and Baby Necklace. Why?

Where should I prune my Kalanchoe to encourage more growth? I have this Kalanchoe cutting that I took recently, which started blooming pretty much immediately after. I have since removed the flowers to press after taking this photo because they were starting to wilt, but I think I should also be pruning it to get rid of the etoliation and hopefully encourage more outward growth. Is the place with the red line a good place to cut or should I be doing something else? Any advice would be super helpful!

Hi all, I have a ZZ pot from B&Q a few months ago. I’m trying to repot it and and it is so swollen the entire plastic pot is bulging from the sides Unfortunately, I’ve ended up pulling them out with the roots still in the other pot Have I destroyed it? Or can I plant the surviving plants into a container and they should grow?

Golden Hour is back ✨️

To get a sense of its scale, here are more perspectives. I’m not sure a wider pot would make a difference as jades grow up from the soil, not across, like a snake plant for example. I think I’ll be removing the top soil again and adding fresh soil in.

Wow the color on this Stesonia Coryne (Toothpick cactus) just blew me away. I had to bring it home 😅

Any idea what this is? Ive been treating my plants for spider mites but this doesn’t quite look like that. I haven’t moved it or watered it any differently than I have in the past year and you can’t scratch off the dots.

Feeding day for these lucky ones 😆🥰

Repotting season is near and I have two different species of jade plants that have grown abundantly over the past year. Because of their sizes, last year, I removed as much top soil as I could and added fresh soil to the pot. Can I repeat the process or should I move them to bigger pots now? I’m scared of the branches bending or losing lots of petals if I attempt to repot all the soil (remove the plants from the pots). Any other tips?

Hiya! Seeking advice to keep this guy looking his best Shock here seems to generally be fine but he’s had that yellowish stalk in the middle for quite some time, it’s kind of flimsy/wobbly compared to the other stalks. It’s been growing well otherwise. Do I try to prune that yellow one, or do I just leave it be? I’ve never pruned any cacti so any advice is welcomed!

Uhh, any amount of pruning seem like it might resuscitate my peanut cactus? He started showing signs of what I guess are rot a little while ago and I didn’t catch it soon enough. He has drainage and was doing fine for 6+ years, 😞 never pruned him in all that time, and I know cacti can bounce back from near-death - any hope or should I consider him dead?

Hi again! My sister also gave me this cactus to look after and it’s not looking so good, it’s pretty yellow and looks kind of droopy, does anybody have any advice?
