okie guys, update on herbert again... Project: Save Herbert is officially a go, and I switched him from a northeast facing window to a southwest facing window, completely opposite, and hoping this will help. A few of you guys suggested I should give him more light, so we're hoping this will work! He has plenty currently and looks happy...er. also propoed him up with popsicle stick, mostly because it made me so sad seeing him all droopyyy and sick... 😭 i HEAVILY watered herbert as soon as he started looking weird, because at that point he looked kinda dry and crispy. the soil is still a bit wet throughout and herbert seems a bit less dry. I think i might pop off some of his budding cacti parts, because they look brown at the base part connecting to herbert, and im worried being attached is hurting them? i migtt pop them off and stick them into the dirt so they can grow new roots. do you guys know if i will need a bigger pot for this? how can i safely pop them off without harming herbert further? thanks in advance 💕 i hope this will make herbert feel better soon! ps, about the pictures, the first one in herbert basking happily in the sun by his new (temporary, just to see if it works, might move him throughout the day to see where the sun is, he needs all the hell he can get!) window. the two are his lil buds to show you guys his situation and see how i can take them off safely. also its timelapse because i think imma start a timelapse video throughout the day to see if he gets better PLZ let me know what i can change about how im helping him and what u think he needss (he's my only plant and im kinda a newbie when it comes to like all plants in generallll)

My peperomia Nevada isn’t looking as great as it used to. Any recommendations or thoughts about what it needs? It appears more yellow than the picture.

This is my zebra haworthia. I repotted it yesterday after buying it from a store. I was wondering if I should water it? The soil is completely dry throughout, but I heard you have to wait a week before watering again, is this true?

Could use some advice on my old man jade plant (he’s 30, and was only recently put in my care. He became very stretched out from neglect and drought over the years before I was put in charge of his care. I gave him a repot and haircut in May, and until last week, he’s been doing great! Grew plenty of new leaves, he’s still working on the new growth, but suddenly he lost 4 older leaves within the past week, all turning yellow before breaking off. I don’t overwater it. I bottom water him no earlier than every 10 days in the summer. My question is if I should give him another haircut and prop all the branches by the stem, or if I shouldn’t stress and just leave him be. I’ve worked with jades for a while now. I have 3 other jades and consider myself pretty good with them. This one’s very dear to me, is all, as he’s a from my grandmother, and I’m very careful with him as she’s since passed away. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to decide if I should slice off the top and start over 🧐 She’s been dealing with scale for months and just went through hurricane Debby outside in the rain 🌧️ The middle is looking big and feels springy so I’m worried about rot 🍄‍🟫

This is looking pretty funky. What should I do with it?

I’m new to succulents and am wondering if this is normal for Echeveria? I am used to the flat hen and chicks (Sempervivum) in colder climates but these seem to be growing taller. One is starting to push a flower so I am assuming it is getting the sun it needs (outside on eastern facing front porch without roof) but wasn’t sure if it is searching for something and that is why they seem to be stretching out.

Hey guys, does anyone have any advice on when I should water my jelly bean plant? I just took some cuttings and transferred them to a new pot. Many of the stems already had roots growing on them so I stuck them right into the soil. But I’m not sure on how long I should wait.

Can anyone tell me if these long tendrils that have appeared on my Beavertail and Fishbone epiphyllum cacti are normal or a symptom of something?

It has been 2 years since I propagated this beautiful Haworthia using the leaf method. It started as just a single leaf, and now it is still growing. After watering the plant, I turn it 45° to promote even growth. This is a very good indoor succulent. @biophiscape 🌿

Well bought 20 seed and got 30 plant out off it not too bad ratio!! They are growing much faster than I thought! Some off them where all ready root bound

Total impulse buy at Food Basics this morning. Couldn’t resist - such a unique look to it! Top portion of the plant needs a little love and a lot of sun. Kalanchoe laciniata aka Christmas Tree Plant

Do you know any grow lights that meet the requirements to bring out bright colour in succulents? 6500 kelvins, 2000 lumens+, energy efficiency C or above are the priority

Just woke up to something green and small poking out of my snake plant pot🙃 It’s a little late in the year to repot but should I begin to consider it?

Anything wrong with this guy? Started turning brown/redish
