So my Thanksgiving cactus looks like it's going to bloom again, I haven't given it any fertilizer or Epsom salt since probably October I'm wondering if I should give it some Epsom salt to help it produce blooms? šŸ§”šŸŒµšŸ™

Happy Saturday, everyone… I’ve had this cactus for a couple of years now just noticed this closer to the base . Would this be some type of rot? I hope not…

Severe etiolation even under grow light. Got any helpful tips y’all?

Hlo, I've had this for a few years now and it's got a noticeable tilt from just general light direction is there anyway I can correct the growth or encourage fattening on the part that is concaved?

What could be causing this in all my cacti? All the pots have drainage holes and I spray water on them every 2-3 weeks Could anyone help?

My plant fell off the stand and crack almost completely in half 😩 I have it like this with some chopsticks for support, or is it going to grow back together? Or is it better just to plant the top half next to the bottom half

It's got this Crystaly crusty stuff on it and it's not super smooth like an aloe I believe it's a haworthia I just don't know what's kind šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«šŸŖ“šŸ™

Hi everyone. I got a new succulent which at first just had a couple of sun/edema spots but in the 2 weeks I’ve had it, its leaves have developed spots/marks all over. Two leaves shriveled up today but all the rest are super plump. I haven’t watered it since I got it and I repotted it immediately into a chunky succulent soil mix to live with this aloe. The roots looked great. He’s under a grow light 12hr/day plus in a W window (I’m far north so don’t get too much light. All the other succulents are loving it). Let me know what you think - thank you! Last pic is what he looked like when I got him.

Newest additions. Found them at Walmart. Pricey but worth it.

First time propagation, just took some leaves off waiting to dry out. Wish me luck!😻

How do you guys know when your succulent is supposed to be tall and when it’s etiolating? I have this cotyledon orbiculata pigs ear. The first pic was what it looked like when I got it (repotted it) and the second pic is where it’s at today. It’s been about 30 days. I’ve moved it twice, as the first place I had it some of the other succulents it was with started etiolating. Now it’s directly under the light. Also any ideas why the leaves are bending downward??

So I rescued this allo from a lady about a plant stand from in the summer who had it in a box and a dark garage šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø my question is should I chop the neck off and just plant the top half directly in soil? I think it just mutated trying to survive in there? But it's so top heavy the plant can't stand up and I think the neck is probably sucking him over the energy from the rest of the plants any thoughts as to what kind of all it is just a regular one? Thank you so much šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøšŸ«¶šŸŖ“šŸ™

I was gifted this beautiful arrangement but it didn’t come with any care instructions. The pot has no drainage and is currently under a grow light with my monstera. Haven’t worked with whatever medium it’s potted in before and it’s currently slightly damp. Any recommendations are appreciated!!

I was away for a week or so (and didn’t notice anything prior but maybe it was already there?) but look what’s happening!! I’m excited but I don’t understand? I’ve had this succulent for like three years and it’s never done anything like this! What’s going on? 🤩

just got this little guy from a group handing out free succulents and i’m concerned about care. i don’t have premium so i don’t know exactly what it is but i think it might be a ripple jade? am i right to think that or is there another option i should consider? also are there any big upkeep things i should be worried about? or just a watering every so often and sunlight? thank you šŸ™

So confused… I had a Burro’s Tail and wanted to get another to add to it. Well it’s a completely different color. It’s been months now with them together, same lighting, and they’re still different colors. Are they the same plant? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what plant this is? My grandpa gave it to my mother and she wants help to take care of it but I don’t know what kind it is. Thank you! (I don’t even know if it’s a succulent)
