Looking for advice! Hello, I was wondering first off if anyone knows what this cactus is? I found it in Utah while camping near Zion National park. It was in poor condition and I wanted to save it. It’s been here in the Portland area since April 2024 and has had so much new growth! (All that lighter green is new) It’s gotten so big I don’t know what to do with it. Since I’m not familiar with this species I’m reaching out before I do anything to it
My Jade leaves are turning yellow and falling off. Any tips on how to revive its beautiful green leaves?
HELP! I've had this plant going on 3 years and I still have no idea what it is it's flowering so I'm hoping someone will know! It's a vine-like. Has root-like strings coming from it. Google doesn't know and planta doesn't either :/
No QR care code on her, I did do a photo search and came up with Euphorbia Lugardiae.? But not able to find it to add to my plant troop care list. Anyone? Thanks😊
Is my gem doing a flower or is it looking for light? First picture is today and second a few months back.
I know, I know. AI. As an artist, I’m supposed to resent AI. The thirteen-year old in me is like wow wow gimme all the weird pics, but the grown man in me questions authenticity and feels “lazy.” But, dude, look at my species!
These 3 were in a metal box with no drainage . Separated them last week. Not sure what the little one is. I love my Dancing Bones, she has thrived in my south kitchen window, 5 inches when I got her! The other tall lad ( can’t think of name atm) was given to me by my youngest 3 years ago. Only 6 inches high at the time. He is deployed now and I smile every day when I look at it 💕
Does anyone know what type of cactus this is? If you do thanks 😊
Propagation. They have roots and been growing well for a while. One seems to be drying up. Do I just add water?
Does anyone know what this is? It looks like mold? Is that possible?
So relieved that my beloved Carmen is finally making a comeback 🙏 I had to cut her down completely to the stem due to some kind of fungus over the winter. It wasn't looking too good until very recently, when she had an explosion of sudden growth! It happened SO fast, I'll probably need to separate them soon!
Can anyone identify this plant?
Is this pot too deep for these succulents or will they be okay?? And if so is it okay to repot them into a shallow pot so soon after putting them into this one?
Hi guys! Can anyone tell me why my Opalina keeps losing leaves from the slightest movement? (I turn the pot daily so it gets even amount of light). I’m making sure not to catch it on anything and being really careful with it but every time I check on it it’s lost another🥲 it seems to be healthy but the lower leaves seem to be a bit more wobbly than the others? Any advice welcome:) are they just easily broken off or am I being heavy handed? I’m being as careful as I can😂 I’ve added any lost leaves to my propagations but I’m not sure if they’ll work considering I’m not sure how they came off🫣
I need help! I got this plant as a gift and it’s not thriving at all! When I first got it, it was exuberant but now the leaves have lost their color and are curled up. I had it in my living room with indirect light, but have since moved it outside to my porch where there’s more direct light. Any suggestions? Also, does anybody know what type of plant this is? Planta says it’s a Topsy Turvy but the picture online doesn’t match.
Hi plant friends! I found this poor cactus (Planta says it’s an Eastern Prickly Pear) on the sidewalk and want to try to save it 😅 The blue looks like flowers? And the top right looks like new growth. I’m assuming it broke off the main plant and I’ll have to propagate to grow new roots. Any suggestions? I’m assuming the red circle is where roots would come from so I have root hormone I can put on there and put in water and fingers crossed roots grow?
Me: “My monstrose is trying to unmonster itself.” Okay. This plant was listed as “monstrose,” but it has crests. After trying to explain what “monstrose” is, I realized I wasn’t sure about the terminology. So, after some digging, I now have a new term: “Cristate: This term is used interchangeably with crested, and refers to the fan-like shape of the plant. Monstrosity: This is another term for monstrose growth patterns, which often feature exaggerated or distorted features. Crested monstrosity: This term is used to describe plants that exhibit both crested and monstrose growth patterns.” Crested Monstrosity.
Very weird question. I was just cleaning my bunny ears cactus with a small paintbrush. I was a good foot away from it but all of a sudden my arms were itching like they were on fire and I had to go wash them off and change my shirt. It hasn't helped. I had to take a Benadryl. Still red and itching like crazy. Is there something allergic about that cactus? Didn't even get a thorn in me. Just brushed it off from a distance of a foot away. So weird!
Planta keeps telling me to water my conophytum but I’m pretty sure I’m not supposed to water it in the summer, especially since the two times I did water she lost a lot of leaves to mold. She is now a shadow of her gorgeous, former self. Does anyone have experience with these? I want her to thrive.
What is wrong with my plant 😭
