My Leafy Life

I have a Cooper's Haworthia. It has a lot of shoots. Should I separate them or is it OK to leave them attached? If they grow in the wild, I assume the shoots don't detach which makes me think it's OK to leave them. It already has roots growing between the leaves. Is that normal? There are also a lot growing from the base that are really close to the surface of the gritty mix that I use. They're not showing in the drainage holes, which is one of the ways I determine if a plant needs to be repotted. I'm planning to repot it in the same pot since it hasn't really outgrown this one but hopefully bury the roots more. I have attached a photo of the roots within the leaves and the plants page

My first cactus!!! A lady at Home Depot showed me her cacti collection so I spontaneously got one 🌵

Hey all! If you have this cactus, please post pics below. I don't know if I want to keep this shape, or if I should give it a trim when I come around to repotting it. This used to be my dad's. He didn't want to care for it anymore, so now it's in my hands. I've had it for two years now.

I’m fairly new to succulents since moving to California. I’ve built this little collection slowly over the past year and wanted to share. 😁

Just saved these cacti. Potted them in potting soil for cactus and succulents. Suggestions?

Thought I’d share this gorgeous girls progress! The first pic was taking August 17, 2025 and the 2nd and 3rd pics are how she’s doing today!! Repotted, watering when needed, correct amount of light all made a huge difference! Anyone know what kind of Aloe she is? I actually never thought to find out until now lol! She is in fact 3 years old and I saved her when she was 2🥰

Check out Spike!

Started seeing bruising around the base again. Root rot set after second water cycle. This is the third time I’ve taken spike in for repotting I’m the last year and a half. Plus I’ve given him less water every two weeks. Gonna cut the rot and repot again, don’t know what else to do…

Hello all! Would anyone be able to tell me why my Buddha’s temple is wilting? This is my second one and I can’t figure out why they keep dying. It’s leaning over and leaves are starting to dry out. Thanks for any advice :) Also in picture dirt is wet because it was just fertilized.

I'm new-ish with succulents. Some are doing good, but this one confuses me. Evertime I go to water there are bottom leaves shriveled. I've had it for over a year. It seems healthy. Does this mean I should water it more frequently? I wait til dry. I check the firmness/plumpness too. So, maybe averages every other week for watering.

Once I gave them the pole they've become even more vigorous in there growth I think I'm going to have to purchase another one!

I’ve had this Medusa’s head for years and years. This app helped me to know where it should be for light and when to water. After 9 forevers, it flowered!!

I'm so happy! My Whale Tail is going to be a mama! Maybe it was my great-grandson's Power Ranger that helped! Lol I've had this plant for about 4 or 5 months. I am beyond thrilled it didn't take long to produce a pup. P.S. This is actually a plant I bought for my husband. But it's in my jungle. :)

Hello and good day! I'm hoping someone can help me with my poor bunny ear cactus. Am I overwatering? Any help is much appreciated

I currently have 8 baby Zebra Haworthias growing and not sure when/how to repot them. Does anyone have any tips on doing this? I do have a propagation box which I have been using for string of turtles cuttings but there’s definitely room for these babies. The biggest baby is probably 1-2cm wide. Thank you for anything!!

Hi all! Could I have some help identifying this lil guy please? So... THIS is Mystery Jimbo, and this wasn't just a "unlabelled plant" story. A few months ago I brought home a lovely haworthia, and over the next few weeks, I noticed a few out of place little leaves growing in the soil. "Okay, if it lives it lives" I told myself, thinking it was a little pup I could maybe propagate... But live it did, and bloody hell I don't have a clue what this thing is - but I'm pretty sure it isn't haworthia! 😂😂😂 I think a seed must have been in the soil of this plant that grew into our Jimbo. I'm half-sure it's probably something in the succulent family, as it has those same waxy leaves and seems to be thriving in these conditions. But other than that? Not a clue. I've graduated him to his own pot today. Any guesses? 🤣

Here’s my kitty cactus. An old best friend gave me this cactus about 3-4 years ago. Haven’t spoken to her since but I do keep this plant alive
