My plants arrived from Amazon today. (See earlier post). I was totally pleased. They were packed amazingly well. There were doubles but I still ended up with 10 separate kinds. I can either put up two together or give one to a friend. They were all super healthy and the only ones that lost leaves were the burro tails and they always do. I saved them and I want to propagate them but I'm not sure how. Can anyone help?

Hi guys šŸ‘‹ Any Lechuza users in the group? I’m about to transition all my cacti & succulents to lechuza’s Cactus & Succulent mix. I’m wondering if I do this with the standard cache pot, wick & reservoir method or do you recommend a different technique? Pic of my 6month old monstera grown from a 2 leaf cutting. Flippin love Lechuza šŸ˜ but don’t know where to start with Cacti & succulents 🌵 Thank you šŸ™

I have noticed two new branches on my silver torch cactus, one looks like it is growing off of one of the main stalks and the other looks like it could be growing independently. Are these something I should prune off or should I let them continue to grow?

Does anyone know what this succulent is called? (The tall one) Also it has started to fall over and is being kept up by the plant next to it. Should i put something next to it to help it stand up straight or is it supposed to be trailing?

I haven't purchased plants online in years but Amazon had these for only $21 and I had just gotten a whole bunch of antique tea cups and saucers that they would be perfect for. Hope I don't get too many doubles. But since it was such a good deal I thought someone else might be interested.

I bought this succulent garden from Trader Joe’s and there is no info on what any of the plants are! Can I get some help identifying these? If you have a succulent garden like this, how do you have it listed in Planta? Also, the planter doesn’t have any drainage, so is my best bet to repot all of them? They all seem like they’re pretty well-hydrated at the moment, none of the leaves are squishy or wrinkled.

Hi! I have this cactus that my grandma gave me a few months ago and a lot of the new growth is tipping over. Should I make cuttings and propagate? Where do I cut? Note: i have been keeping it a bit too far from the window so maybe it’s a sunlight issue?

Hey guys, I think I might’ve killed my Opalina😢 she just keeps dropping leaves like no tomorrow; they’re shrivelling up and just falling off🫣 She now has no lower leaves… what do I do from here? She’s struggling to support her own weight now, could I repot and plant the stem a bit deeper so she can stand upright? Or should I snip her below the surviving leaves and try to propagate the upper half? I’ve no idea how to revive her now:(( I think it was low light that’s hurt her so much - I’ve moved to her a much brighter spot today. (On the plus side, I propagated a couple of her leaves a while ago and that’s growing nicely so if all fails and she dies, at least I have her baby to raise!)

Hey y’all I got this succulent and stupidly threw away the tagšŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø google says it’s a SEDUM LUCIDUM is that right?

Today I discovered some baby mushrooms in my dragons tail. The plant is doing really good (especially considering I neglected it for a few months), but I wanna know if this is bad and if I need to repot it. Any tips/advice is appreciated!

Anyone know how much light my blue columnar cactus should be getting? I have it pretty much right beneath my window but my curtain is blocking most of the light from reaching the shelf the cactus is on.

Anyone a Fun Fungus Friend here? You can zoom in on the two pads that I have a question about, which I just noticed today. I have what seems to be a rust gold fungus, I’m presuming, on the underside of these two pads. Any experts? (Yes there is some on the other side of these two pads. Just a smaller amount.

I've had this thanksgiving cactus for about 3 years and it's never bloomed. I recently in the last month or so decided to put it under a grow light to see if it would do better cause I don't have much natural light in my house. I also decided to repot and give fresh soil. Now I'm thinking my pot is too big...should I get a different pot? When I took the cactus out of its original pot, the soil was soaked...lots of fibrous roots around the edges. I also used miracle grow cactus potting soil and added some perlite. Is this okay, is my pot too big? I literally just repotted yesterday and am having second thoughts about how I did this.

The Succulent Squad is struggling so bad. The left is how they looked a few weeks ago. The right is today. I’ve lost the smallest two. And now the one in the back at the top of the second photo is struggling hard. Any advice?

Can anyone tell me if this kind of cactus is able to be propagated? I tried googling it but only found tutorials on propagating the arms or pups of cacti. Would I be able to cut the top off and propagate that? It’s getting pretty big and top heavy.

I have these 2 succulents, one is a panda and the other one I don’t know its name. They both have been growing up and up but not too full, or bigger leaves. Do you know what should I do to make them fuller so they don’t look too skinny? Thanks!
