Just found this on the back of one of my kalanchoe leaves. Any clue what pest it is??

First bloom of the season. This lifesaver cactus has really taken off after a repot and separation.

Does anyone in PA know where to buy Jade plants? I’ve only ever seen them in Home Depot and Lowe’s, and from my experience with both stores, they tend to have issues with their plants getting infested with insects that you end up bringing home and infecting your other houseplants. Any online sellers are fine too, but I really only know one nursery that’s in my area, and they don’t sell jades.

Hi! I need some help identifying this succulent. I originally thought it was a Mexican snowball (echeveria elegans) but now thinking maybe it’s not? I am also concerned because it’s turning pink. Any advice?

Hi everyone! I was recently given what I believe to be a Prickly Pear Cactus to look after for a few months but it’s in really rough shape and I’m unsure the best course of action. Anyone have any suggestions? I don’t know if it’s under watered or why it’s so discolored. Thanks!

Hey guys! This is my first succulent it’s a little Cobweb houseleek and I was wondering if I should repot it in a little bit of a bigger pot or just leave it in the nursery pot? Also how often should I water it?

Hi friends! I recently received a (albeit very sickly) astrophytum/goats head cactus from a friend. He didn’t have the time to try and save him and wanted to see if I could give it a shot. Now I am not an expert by any means but I used Dr Planta to diagnose it and it thinks it’s scales (EEK). What do you guys think? Did I just endanger the rest of my plants by bringing this one into the home? If so, how do I make sure they don’t get scales?? I tried to see if I could pull any of the reddish bits off and they don’t budge so I am hoping it is edema/discoloration. I don’t see any moving pests on there either. HELP

I was just given this Christmas cactus as a gift. After doing some research I learned that there are Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas cactus and they are commonly confused with one another. Just wanted to check to make sure so I can take care of it properly. What kind do you guys think it is?

My first succulent. 😎 The app says it should be in a pot with drainage. Is that true? I plan to repot it when it gets bigger and figured I could do it then if that’s the case. đŸ€·đŸœâ€â™€ïž

My jellybean aurora is looking like this. Are these hairs normal? None of my other succulents look like this đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«

Please help! I’ve had this hobbit jade plant for almost 2 years. It recently started dropping a lot of leaves really quickly and developed brown spots on most of the leaves that dropped. I don’t know what’s wrong and I don’t know how to help it. I water it every 1-2 weeks when the top soil is dry. It got repotted in March and its health has just been spiralling since then. It used to live right by our south facing window, but i feared that the brown spots were developing because it was getting cooked during the day while I was at work, so I moved it to the center of the room. That seemed to make the leaves drop faster so i moved it back by the window today. I’m not sure what’s wrong and I don’t know how to fix her. Please help!

I have had this Echeveria gibbiflora for about three months and it has always slightly tilted over toward the top. Recently its leaves (particularly the lower ones) are soft, mushy, and wrinkled. Several have shriveled up entirely and I’ve removed them, but the remaining lower leaves haven’t changed color much at all - still green. The plant is about 5 inches tall, sits basically right in the windowsill, and is in a 3in tall x 3in diameter cup with drainage. I water it every 8 days (as recommended by this app). Any thoughts on saving this plant?

I just found out that ants actually eat aloe vera it was terrifying when I moved the pot for mine only to find hundreds of ants under it do not leave them outside if necessary or something I don’t want anyone to take that risk

My big succulent, not sure the name. But it’s been really struggling yesterday when I repotted it had almost no roots. That was the first time I repotted since I bought it. Oh and it’s been in my table but I moved it for a few minutes to do this. Also if you have any tips on string of pearls I would love that too!!!

My pretty cactus came damaged 😭 I read online that If you trim it and then cocktail stick it and use hair ties or something along those like it will help it stick back together? I'm hoping this will help. How long should I leave it? If this doesn't work could I plant the broken part into the soil? Emailed the company waiting on a reply.

String bean and Copper joined the crew last week. Love that the greenhouse next town over actually has succulents I don’t have yet!
