Hey cactus crew! This is my cactus, I named him Alligator Dave but am unsure of the exact cactus species if anyone could clarify. I'm posting here because Alligator Dave doesn't look too healthy, there's some brown corking and discoloration of such. Does anyone have a fix or know why? Thanks.

So much green and grey with dashes of troubling yellow - and the aloe who turned deep violet with red racing stripes.

I repotted this string of turtles from its nursery pot in June when I received it. Shes grown quite a bit! Should I repot so soon? Shes looking like shes exploding out of the pot.

Perspective is a wild thing with us humans. Someone else sees trash to the curb, I see a jaw dropping cereus score. The bigger pieces are 6+ ft tall!! Can easily turn this into 15 plus healthy growing sections. 💪 Cheers to curb finds and propagation!! New cactus garden incoming, who dis? 🤘😎🌵

I planted the biggest baby yesterday and I am so excited to see it grow!😍

I used to have a pencil cactus in Florida that grew so tall I had to keep cutting it back. I ended up with around 5 huge pencils. When we moved to TN I missed her so my daughter and her hubs bought me this beauty!

Hi All! So I observed that every time I repot my succulents (happy and have been around over a tear or two+) in ferti-lome (my usual go to brand) succulent soil the soil has consistently retained to much water despite being mixed with drainage components. The result: my very healthy succulents get sick after one watering/2-3 weeks once repotted. Has anyone else experience this? What’s your go to for succulent soil? Pic of the one I’m currently trying to save.

Larry is a peperomia columella that I got recently., and he’s drooping. I mostly have cacti and they’ve all thrived so this is the first time I’ve worried. The internet seems to suggest he’s being overwatered but his soil seems really dry. He’s in a draining pot. He’s gets plenty of light. That’s my shadow in the photo. Thoughts?

Found this guy at Trader Joe’s. A few broke off so I’m going to attempt to propagate them and see if they grow roots themselves.

Hi all! All of my plants bit the dirt (ha ha) after an experimental bottom watering gone root-rot. Lesson learned. Not always ideal for glazed pots in particular! I have not tried to care for an Echeveria Perle Von Nurnberg yet, and this one is (in my minimal plant experience) absolutely massive. 4” approximately. My new plants, including this one, arrived about one week ago in mostly dry soil, not *completely* crumbling, so I’m holding off on watering all of them for at least a few more days. North facing window light is trash, but my grow lights have been upgraded and doubled, and I used my bunny ear cactus as a metric for light success — it’s growing at an absurd rate, so I think I’ve hit the grow light sweet spot. All of this to say: I am 99% certain I do not have a water or light issue, for once! Regarding this echeveria: does this need to be in a deeper pot? It arrived very much like this, after a period of rest it was transferred to its “home” pot from the plastic nursery pot. I added about a half of an inch of soil and some small bonsai pebbles as a topper to give it more opportunity to succeed. However, it seems like it’s “throwing” little roots toward the soil and I don’t want them to be exposed to any pests/become damaged and compromise the plant. I don’t want to disturb existing roots, this plant is very well-rooted and seems comfortable (with about an inch of extra perlite cacti soil beneath the root base) in the pot that it’s in, but if it requires more space, I can transfer it. I’m also not sure if these are just the result of the lowest leaves (maybe 1-2) inevitably being weak and removed/knocked off shortly after “settling in.” All opinions and advice are welcome! This plant is very new to me and I have a similar-sized echeveria chroma (a favorite!) that is also SO tall, and I feel I might run into this problem with that one even though it is in a terra-cotta pot with a wider top. Two photos of the mystery roots, two photos of the plant for reference. (It’s the pot, isn’t it?)

People ask me if I like succulents. I tell them definitely not, they are just so easily killed. Anyways, these are my precious babies. ❤️

Succulents are really hard to kill😂 I’ve had this one sitting in this pot for 5 years now and never touch it when it’s winter and the weeds die it fills up the pot I’ve neglected it for 5 years and it’s thriving 😂

What variety of cactus is this?

New pot is perfect for my brain cactus 😂

My aloe was turning pale and yellow when I moved it outside out of my bathroom. When I took it back to the bathroom it flourished! Never would I think that a plant would prefer the bathroom!

For those of you who have mature Mammillaria spinosissima, what do you pot them in and how do you provide support? (Please share pictures). My last repot on this guy was maybe 2 ½ years ago and I'm contemplating if he will need one this upcoming spring. I did a little rearranging so he is no longer laying on my Mammillaria bombycina who is about to shoot out another pup. I over turned an empty flower pot for support. Just wondering what other people do for theirs.
