Hi! My Blue Myrtle is worrying me. Watering about every 6 days and it’s dry when I do. Under a shade cloth in this Arizona sun so it shouldn’t be getting burned by that. It’s close to the wall, but not as close as it looks, maybe 10”. The dark at the top has worsened over the last week or so. A little on the right side as well. Any ideas please? I hope you don’t say it’s the heat from the wall. I’m really worried about that. I may be able to bring it out another 6”.

How long does it take for a string of pearls to grow roots in water? Mine rotted on part of the string, so I cut the healthy part off, and put it in water because so many people said they had success growing roots in water for this particular plant. It’s been in water for over a week now, maybe two. I’m not quite sure. Any other tips are appreciated too! 😊🪴

I just got this echeveria about a few days ago and it was doing great until I put it in sun and it doesn’t seem to be doing so good. I gave it some water and repotted it. Should I give it more water? Dampen the soil?

Anyone know what kind of cactus this is? I have a feeling this pot is way too small so I put it in a larger pot (I don’t have a picture of it in its new pot yet) I was curious if it does need more room since it looks like smaller cacti are coming off it. Will this cactus grow taller? I’ve had it for a year I think

My echeveria dick’s pink is growing UP instead of OUT and looking really bare. I know growing upward can be a sign of too little sunlight but when I put her in a more sunny spot I feel like her leaves start to get burnt/sun damage. Any suggestions? I feel like I suck at caring for echeverias & idk what it is 😭

Can anyone please tell me what’s going on with my zebra plant? The planta experts are telling me to check the roots but I’m not sure it being root bound would cause this? I have another larger one and the same spot and it’s doing just fine. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you!

Could anyone confirm what’s going on here? These are 2 of my propagations, the one on the left has very clear roots coming through, but the one on the right has what looks like one red root? Why is it red? Is it even a root? It wasn’t there a week ago🤣

Can anyone help me identify these 3 cactuses I have? I am having a hard time identifying it with the app I'm thinking maybe because they are too close to each other. Thank you :)

Little before and after here on my friend’s succulent. She hasn’t watered it in over a week. Any advice? She’s going to repot it with new soil but any other tips would be appreciated!

My poor succulent hasn’t been looking too hot. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

No idea what happened, both plants were fine being in the same pot for a few months. Did the cobweb houseleek turn into an evil vampire and sucked out the life force of my other plant?

Halp! I got this succulent from my sister as birthday gift last September. It was tightly packed with a lot of other succulents and most of them didn't survive. I have been watering it as recommended. But this morning I saw one of the bigger leaves turn black at the base. I have since removed it. Don't even know what exactly is it. Some kind of Tiger Aloe!? The plant hasn't grown a lot over the past few months. Please advise

Hi guys some of the pearls dried out does this mean lack of water. We also have a heatwave in my area could it be heat?

My succulent (burros tail) has been like this ever since I got it - several months now. The leaves are very fragile and will snap off easily (even just gently brushing it 😭) I’ve noticed it is looking a bit wilted and wrinkly. It has lots of sun and maybe even a little too much water.. I’ve changed the location now so it is getting less direct sunlight, and am watering it a lot less. I don’t know what could be the problem as it is having the same care (and spot) as my other cacti and succulents which are thriving and growing! Any tips? It’s hard to see in the photo, but on the other side lots of stems have many missing leaves 😬 Thanks so much!

Just got this white ghost and I am looking for some care advice. Any tips will help! Also, I am assuming he’s tilted do lack of sun at some point. Will he ever straighten out? Thank you in advance😊

okay so i have a string of pearls that were extremely healthy. i had them in my room and was ignorant about the fact that they need sunlight. so when i started noticing that the branches looked dead (i was gone for like three days so i had no idea about it turning out that way 💀) i started to water it regularly and it’s out in direct sunlight now cause apparently it likes that best. i just need some tips for its recovery please 😭
