My beautiful Aloe plant, growing like a rose.
Thomas
I woke up to find my beloved and thriving Aloe leaning over 90 degrees, as if it had a nightmare and fell off the bed! I don’t think I’d knocked it over or anything like that. I rotated the pot and gently pushed it back the other way. I think it’s time to repot, and give those babies their own pots too. Question: to keep it upright, do I bury more of the plant into the soil? Maybe up to the yellow line I drew in one of the photos? Any advice is appreciated—thanks!
Allie
can anyone tell me what kind of cacti these are?

Does anyone know if this is something I should worry about? There’s a couple more similar on the rest of the plant but they weren’t there a couple weeks ago.

My mom said no more plants but my dad’s friend gifted me this little succulent pot, so she couldn’t say no😂

Hey planta friends! I’ve been rehabbing my sister’s plants while she’s home from college. Any idea what kind of plant this is? My Seek app says it’s in the stonecrop family, but doesn’t say what the species is. I love the little freckles on her leaves :) Added the “before” photo in the comments just for fun!

Can anyone identify what kind of succulent this little guy is? I rescued him from my sister so hopefully he’ll grown great in his new pot with better care
Christine
My big snake plant got a better spot with great light. He almost creates a room divider. Also a better pot. :) The leaves are a bit “wavy” - is this a sign of it needing anything? I’m learning to mostly ignore him. lol

Been ignoring my plants lately other than watering. So I decided to check out the ones that needed watering and to update the pics on Planta. That ogres ear is a favorite. It was a tiny rescue and it’s had mealy bugs twice. It’s a fighter. Lol. The peperomia is doing well but I have so much trouble with string plants.

taller and taller, but he's still waiting to bloom!

Love sun stress on my succulents. This is an Echeveria Silhouette.

What would you do? This big boy/girl needs to spread out, it’s getting way to big/tall for the pot so it’s going to tip over with the weight, I’m already holding it up with two bamboo sticks. I’m afraid of damaging it so I need advice. The top part is thriving and as you can see, it’s reaching out in several directions. Under that, the middle part leaves are sort of dying of old age I guess and the lower part has new babies busting out from under. Should I cut the stem under the middle part above the babies, take those yellow leaves out & plant the stem with the cross like top on a different pot? Will it keep going and not die? I’ll leave the lower part with the new babies flourish on this pot since they seem to like it there. Thanks

Hi! First post here. I’m trying to identify this plant. The app thinks it an elephant bush… but all I have are these cute little guys…. Hard to tell if that’s what they really are. Any ideas? We’ve had them for a long time and given them NO attention. In fact they were only very lightly rooted into soil…really just sitting on top. I recently repotted them and watered them lightly. I put them in very “sandy” soil. They seem pretty happy since the repot (a week ago).

This one is just a sad share. A week ago Saturday I knocked over one of my potted cactus plants. Now if my thumb could speak it would have said “Look at that. I Guess they were right. You are dumber than me.” My advice to those like me who sometimes do things that we know are a bad idea but we do it anyway… DO NOT DO IT. My bad idea started months ago when I purchased a clay pot that had a V shape to it. So small base wider opening. A perfectly normal pot but obviously not for something tall. And this was mistake number 1. I put my tall toothpick cactus AND my tall snowy prickly pear cactus INTO the V like pot. I was very careful every time I moved. Mot just moved the pot but every times I moved anywhere near the pot. (At this point you see my male DNA was working just like it does every day, always missing a protein link to full information.) With storm approaching I decided to bring the potted cactus indoors and to my bedroom on the second floor. The bed room gets the most sun even though the windows face west. After assessing all of the possible places to put the potted cactus, and all the pro’s and con’s, I made the stellar decision to place the V shaped potted cactus with tall cactus coming out of the top, on the small but tall pedestal table in front of the window next to my bed. And thus it became official I was a contender for the What a Dumb Ass Award. Some would say a shoe-in to win. Hours later, like slow motion horror, I bumped the tall lean pedestal table, that was holding the V like pot that was holding the tall and top heavy two cacti. Wobble, wobble, wobble, went the table, the pot, and the cacti. As the cacti went from vertical to horizontal, the portion of my brain that thought it was all a good idea to put the pedestal table, V-shaped pot, and tall cacti out of V-shaped pot all together as a trio, then said to the rest of my brain… - Don’t panic. I got this. Hands move NOW to catch the cactus. - Yes hands did as the abnormal brain told them to do that is until hands, and arms, felt the cacti needles thrusted into the skin. When that happened hands realized how painful it was trying to do what they were told, and that abnormal brain had to be dealt with sooner than later. With hands and arms pulling back out of danger the eyes continued to watch and document the fall of the screaming cacti as they hit the floor. They’re laying on the floor what is a tall, prickly, pear, cactus dislodged from its comfortable potted place, with a needle or two broken from outside. He would live. For Snow, our tall snow prickly pear cacti, the severed parts of her body were everywhere. With no feeling I just picked them all up slowly and placed them into a coffee cup next to the bed the cup was filled with broken pad parts, and I left it. Sit there for at least five days. On the sixth day, I decided I could rebuild her, and him. I can make them stronger, better, and taller. We had the technology and we were gonna make them live, and make them live in a non-wobbly pot. Here are pictures of T.C., mending Snow, and the surrounding scattered Snow pads offspring of theirs.

What would you do? (And no I’m not John Quinones.) A recent storm blew a Prickly Pear cactus that I had in a round pot, and sitting on a short to the ground table, off the table “crashing” to the ground. I say “crashing” meaning the pot is now cracked, versus “smashing” meaning the pot would have smashed open. ☺️ So the pot has a bad crack and can be mended. The Prickly Pear though needed some TLC though because one pad was supporting three extension pads, and those three pads had 3 or more additional pads each. While this potted Prickly Pad was not officially top heavy, like some of my other Prickly Pad potted cacti, it still was the sail for the wind in the storm. All three pads connected to the main pad needed to be severed off. I performed the surgery days ago and let the pads callous over for a couple of days. Yesterday I planted the three in a rectangular terracotta pot. Looking at the before and after pics…would you also cut the pads sprouting out of each of the three or leave them connected? If you suggest cutting them and planting them too then why?
MummaDeb
I need to take those off because they’re coming out of the terrarium again. I can’t remember if I need to let them callous over before I stick them in soil. Anybody know?

Hello! I picked up these plants at a garage sale, but haven’t been able to identify what they are. Any ideas? The new growth on both has leaves of sorts, and the long vine has spines.
Lili
Used up some old pots on some growing cacti, don’t know for sure the names of some of these. Also, decided to go ahead & chop/separate some succs🌵
Gaby
Any tips on keeping these two babies alive(sun, water, temp, etc.? 🥹🌿 it’s my first time owning up plants!
