My string of hearts gave me a triplet growth??

Help! Plant newb here 👋🏻 I’ve had this cactus for about 2.5 years. After a year I finally figured out how to properly water cactuses and he was doing so well that he needed a bigger pot (there was originally 2 but then he grew 2 babies)… well that’s when the issues started. Mistakes were made in this process and I caused root rot with improper soil/drainage. (This was done in the fall) After figuring this out and losing one of the babies 😭… I cleaned up the rot, repotted him in proper soil etc.. (I did this 15 days ago) he seemed to be doing much better again. Had regained some colour. Well… now I’ve noticed the smallest one has a huge black spot on the back.. anyone know what to do?… is this a sign that he’s healing from the rot…? Or that I didn’t do well enough cleaning it off and he’s still rotting?? I misted the soil a few days after cleaning him up but otherwise have not watered him at all since. (The new soil was dry) *last photo is from the day I cleaned him up

This is my aloe plant today 1/10/24. I have to get a pot that has wholes in it but other than that I’m not sure if it’s growing healthy or if there’s anything I can do to help it grow healthy if it’s not. Does anyone have tips on how I can’t make it look better if it needs it?

Hi everyone. Is someone able to identify this plant? Planta says it’s a variety of Stonecrop but I’m not certain about that…thanks in advance!!

I need your help I bought myself a Birthday Present 🤭 I purchased a String of Hearts at an online website and this is what I got personally I don’t like the appearance and well it’s in a 2” pot terracotta. What can I do to make it look healthier. It looks a mess as if they ran out of plants and practically tie it together. And it’s not the case for the other plant I purchased. N’Joy Pothos

Succulent question for all you from the Midwest… I’m from MN & been reading different succulent blogs. People mention placing indoor succulents outside in the summer. Has anyone done this? I’m a little scared to do this because of bringing bugs back into the house in the fall when it becomes too cold outside. I’m tempted to leave well enough alone and keep my plants indoors near windows year round. Thanks for your thoughts & perspectives! ☺️

Hi I have a few points and questions I would like to ask about my succulents, 1. starting with the fact that I’ve had these succulents for about a month now and they still haven’t really rooted, and I’m wondering if that’s bad or is it just winter and I need to wait longer or what. 2. Secondly I have a stonecrop that was etiolating, and so I got a grow light to provide more light and I have seen some visible improvements in the color, but I have also noticed there have been a few leaves that have began turning yellow and shrivelling. It also lots many leaves when it was etiolating and I’m wondering they will grow back or not. 3. I have this cactus that had rot and I removed it and now I’m wondering if it’s looking good or not. 4. My Echeveria has some yellow shriveled leaves and I’m wondering jf it’s ok.

I’m a younger teen and I’m VERY new to plants, but I’d really like to own and take care of some but I don’t know what’s best for me to start with? I’m interested in succulents, cactuses, generally smaller potted plants and carnivorous plants and I’m willing to put in the time and effort to care for them! I don’t want to start taking care of one and it end up too difficult and it dies, I just don’t know what kind of plant(s) to start with.. any recommendations?

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my prickly pear? She’s 35 years old and I repotted because it was well over due! My grandma gave her to me and I want to keep her alive. Worried about this brown/yellow color, any ideas or advice?

What recommendations do you guys have for grow lights and heating mats? I’ve done research on how to use them properly, but I don’t know what brand is good and which ones are scam. I have succulents and avocado seedlings.

Repotted! Plenty of space for the teensy baby squidwards and the increasingly giant Squidward Prime

Any tips on caring for a Christmas cactus? I got it for Christmas and it was full of buds but only two bloomed and the rest fell off and one of the stems fell off as well. :(

Don’t give up on your succulents! First pic is from Dec 19th. All of the roots detached. I removed all of the dead leaves, got down to where the roots were growing, and replanted in cactus soil. Now less than a month later, the roots are long and healthy. I'm amazed!

Hello! Got my cactus about 4 months ago everything seems to be going good! I’m still unsure about what type of cactus it is, and was wondering if anyone could help me identify it. I’m also a little unsure about watering, as I’ve been doing it every 2 weeks as it is placed in a big window that has lots of sun (Florida) that comes through and the soil seems to be dry. Thank you!😊

Soooo, I’m wondering if someone can tell me what’s wrong with my prickly pear if there is anything wrong with it. I got the original cutting (the biggest bottom piece in the middle that is rooted) on June 4th. I’ll post what it looked like when I first got it and put it into dirt. As you can see, it has done really well as far as growth. It’s grown 3 new lobes and seemed to be doing really well! I guess my main concern is how droopy looking the lobes look. Is that meaning there is something wrong? Are are they maybe too heavy to support themselves? Any and all feedback would be soooo much appreciated! I really want to keep this plant alive so I can get another one (of different variety) so I can try to get them to produce fruit!

Im worried about my zebra plant, but at the same time I’m not, the brown spots at the bottom concern me, but the light green ones at the top kind of look like new growth, but I could be totally wrong, so I’m wondering if it’s ok.
