I found this adorable cactus at a nursery today. It was sold as a “2.75” color ball cactus”…I believe it is some kind of gymnocalycium but I’m not sure what type. Does anyone have any tips on figuring out what type she might be? She also has no green on her anywhere. She is purple with pops of pink. There is a bud so photosynthesis must be happening; but is the purple sun stressing? Should that actually be a green color?

I have a Copper King I love and wanted more. Just received these in the mail. Anyone know what these black things are? Never had them on mine.

June 3rd vs June 28th, 2025. The two pads in a cement planter are pups from last year. I can confirm they are slowwwwww growers. Note that this was my first "big plant," and it went through all kinds of naive experiments - it also used to be a squirrel snack.

Things are growing! I'm particularly excited that the little red gymnocalycium is finally budding. I refused to graft it, and I stand by that haha. And my paws are going absolutely nuts with flowers.

Can someone help me ID this? It looks similar to a jade but that doesn’t feel quite right 🧐

Hope I’m posting this in the right place. I have a zebra plant (I think) that I’ve had for a couple of years. It’s growing tall and falling over due to its size. I have never repotted it. What’s the best way to keep this plant growing strong and upright if possible? Thank you! Aspiring plant dad

What is wrong with my African milk tree? Is it too much light?

Hey guys, I got the succulent a few weeks ago and had it indoors at first, but it seemed to not be getting enough sunlight so for the past few days I’ve had it outside in my front yard area kind of be beside my front doorstep. It did rain pretty hard yesterday or the day before and we were so busy trying to bring our big plants inside. We totally forgot that one. I’m not sure if the rain did it or too much sun, but the leaves are falling off please someone help.

My succulent went from the healthy side (bottom left) to a shriveled mess (top right) in 5 days. All I did was water it 4 days ago after 18 days and a heat wave (last few days) . Could this be too much water or that it got shriveled up from the heat? Any way to revive it? Help!

Is it okay to put dish soap on my succulents? Because, dish soap is really effective to kills bugs and stuff :)

I just adopted a few succulents from off the curb. But they have ants. Can I use cinnamon on them?

Last watered June 17th when completely dry. No pests identified when I checked it. Around June 21 leaves started falling off when the were barely touched(like if moving plant next to it and accidentally brushed it with my hand while picking up/setting down plant next to it). Today it looked horrible!!!! Unpotted and soil quite wet for having been 9 days since watering. Didn’t see any perlite, chunky bark, etc. No nasty odor. Can see how things look in photos. The roots, although thin, do not feel mushy at all. Am letting it dry out and plan on repotting in terra cotta (was in nursery pot) and in better draining soil. I have 2 sizes of terra cotta pots available. Bothe are in a photo. Please let me know your thoughts on my diagnosis and plan, along with which pot to use—please and Thank You💚 Pots Left to Right: TC 6”, Plastic 6”, Ceramic 4”, TC 4”, TC 4”

Are pineapples considered a succulent?
