Show me the Greens!

Hello there! I imagine it’s normal (?) for some of the succulent “leaves” at the bottom of the plant to become old/yellow/fall off. But I’ve lost 4 this week. Anything you see or notice that would help me keep this guy thriving?

Before and after… I kinda wish the plant on the right wasn’t leaning so much but the stem grew curved soooo 🥹 How do I prune this better next time? Any tips?

I am very nee to the “plant parent” life. I was gifted a Aloe plant and just got this little guy from Lowes the other day. Her petals look weak, but again i do not know anything about these little guys. Can anyone educate me on taking care of her.

Got these three cacti/succulents about 4-5 days ago and I am seeing disfiguration features in one. I last got the info it was a Hawthornia Venosa subsp tessellata from google,yeah I’m not sure that’s what it really is either. It took a photo of the plant a few days later and theres a part of it I’m worried about, I leave it in the sun with my two other cacti,that both like full sun, but plan to put it in its own pot due to the info that it’s a part sun lover, I got that from google and don’t know if it’s right, I watered this one ,along with my other cacti, 4-5 days ago,when I got them, I don’t know what to do, any help?(for clarification the tips are cut short and kinda rough and have crust) please know I just got this app and haven’t gotten to scan this plant,I made this post away from home.

I’ve had this donkey tail for over a year. I keep inside during the winter and outside in mostly shady area in the spring and summer. Recently it has been looking a lighter shade of green and leaves easily fall off. Does it look normal or is something off?

I’m so new to Succulents. I need all the tips I can get! Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? I feel like they’re just dying instead of trying to grow little baby plants. This is a picture from a few days ago. I watered the dirt a little yesterday because it was completely dried out. Is that what I’m supposed to do? -Ok, Last question 🙋‍♀️ What’s the best way to grow Succulents?

Plant has some new growth in the center, but the outer leaves have always drooped and sometimes brown. I recently moved it away from direct light to help. Wondering if I should repot now that I have perlite, or if it's doing okay—or should I just cut the lower leaves? Open to tips or advice! Got it in Miracle Gro Cactus, Citrus, and Palm potting mix.

Worried about the look of your wrinkled succulents? Find a habitat shot of your plants and compare. I slowed my worry roll after seeing the desiccation on these two.

Can anyone tell me what might be the issues with my Christmas cactus? It’s not on all of the leaves, just some and mainly on the ends, none towards the middle. They are like little divots or something, not raised and can’t scrape off. I do not see any evidence of pests. Potted in an unglazed terra cotta pot with cactus soil and perlite. Any help is appreciated!

just a quick question for my peeps with aloe vera:) i harvest the leaves for aloe and now fear that she may be getting a little top heavy without her lower leaves. the next time i repot her, should i bury her deeper? or would that make her rot?

Hi everyone! I have this elephant bush that has been doing well and slowly growing. I’ve followed the Planta care schedule. But today I noticed a lot of leaves dropped. I know plants will drop leaves to make room for new ones. Is this the case? The roots don’t seem to be growing out the bottom so I don’t think it needs more room and repotted. But Google said dropped leaves may be due to over watering 😬🫣 any ideas? Is this ok? Anything I should do? TIA!
