Hey! New to the plant world and just got a new Hoya…very root bound in its two inch pot and it’s only got one leaf that is very healthy so far and I’ve let it adapt to my house before repotting. Any advice on what I should repot it in? Don’t wanna hurt the poor baby😭

I am very new to plants and it doesn’t seem that I have a green thumb 😅 can anyone help me? I don’t think I over water my plants, I maybe underwater them honestly. Are all my succulents dead 😩

When repotting my jade “gollum” the roots were completely stuck to the bottom of the old pot that I’d say 70% of the roots were ripped off 😩 I transferred the poor thing to the new pot anyway and now just hope for the best! Anything I could do at all to help with the recovery? Thanks!!

I’m a beginner in the plant world, but I got this succulent about a week ago and it’s got this dusty look to its leaves as well as some brown spots on them as shown in photos. I’ve seen a couple gnat-like bugs on/around the plant and I’m just not sure if it’s got some sort of pest or not. Thoughts? And advice what I should do if that is the case? I’m not too keen on the idea of using insecticides…

Bunzi is drooping, a few sources say that drooping slightly means lack of water, but I just watered Bunzi yesterday! Please help :(

I just got this little guy from my local plant shop but they didn’t know what it was. Does anyone have any ideas?

I’ve just bought this Aleo Vera and I am not sure whether I should repot it or not? It looks like it is quite big compared to the pot.

I got this succulent a few weeks ago and repotted it, and now I’m concerned, it had leaves falling off and they became brown and gummy like, and I believe it is etiolating. It is not right next to the window but it is a few feet away and I’m wondering if I should get a grow light to provide more light or LEDs or something.

What kind of cactus is this? I was thinking Easter Lily but I’m not sure.

What kind of potting soil should i get for succulents???

I’ve had this plant for about 7 months and every picture I’ve seen shows a way smaller plant. I care a lot about this plant can someone please tell me if she’s healthy. I feel like I should propagate the babies but I’m not sure and I don’t want to kill her!

I went out for a burger with friends. Lowe’s is three blocks away from the restaurant. The Euphorbia anoplia wouldn’t stop sending out distress calls, and here I am. ps I love this little IKEA cart. The bottom shelf is reserved for seeds if I feel like growing my own.

Since I have kept my first succulent alive for 3 years, I have treated myself to three new babies. They just came in the mail today. I’ve been instructed by the seller to let them breath for ~3 days and then plant in damp soil. I’ve got their pots all ready and watered the soil; I plan to pot them on Saturday or Sunday.

I was at Lowe’s to get some tape and stumbled upon treasure - that I almost missed due to it being on the bottom shelf. These were $20 each, which isn’t too bad, but enough to calm an irresponsible idea. The Ming Things were very tempting. Okay, everything was tempting.

I was initially scared to behead my (very etiolated) Echeveria ‘Perle von Nurnberg,’ but just look at that gorgeous new growth! 😍

I grew a monstrose/semi monstrose Trichocereus bridgesii from seed. It's cultivar is yalla bone x tbm clone a from Pacific Cactus. I'm hoping it grows columnar/long form. I'm incredibly excited to be growing this and thankful to my cactus mentor who gifted the seedlings to me

I got this cactus a few weeks ago and it came with this brown spot, I’m wondering if anyone could tell me what it is and how to treat it?
