I couldn't remember if August or September is the month that Home Depot - historically since 2019, anyway - gets in some gems, particularly Haworthia. The answer is August. I had to walk away from some things. The articulata is a little rough, but ¡Ay! the size of the clump.
Can somebody tell me what is happening? The leaves, one by one, spiraling from the bottom, are drying up wilting and falling off. I read this is usually a sign of under watering as the plant is reclaiming the water stored in the leaves? The substrate i am using is very dry cactus and succulent soil but my crib is dry so the soil is dry literally within 2-3 days. Does anybody know for sure how to fix this and if i should change the soil? Thank you guys ❤️💚
I’ve had this plant for a couple months, im not 100% sure what it is. When i got it it was already a little unstable due to its size. However it’s gotten more unstable, its leaves have started to die at the bottom and the two longer stems coming off the top have started to wilt and even turn brown. Should i be concerned/what should i do?
Beautiful bloom this morning on my Domino Cactus.
Y’all… I got this red succulent and it came green out of the box. I read that the leaves can fade due to inadequate light, but it’s been getting good light for about a week now in front of my west facing window. This is bs or should I get the grow light out?? Anyone have experience with multicolored succulents?..maybe I’m an inpatient plant parent🤷🏼♂️
What the heck is this pinkish thing … never seen any of my cactuses grow this … it’s an old dead flower at the end
What kind of succulent is this? I tried the scan tool in the app but it came up as a silver king common houseleek but after looking the name up nothing that came up looks like this
I have just been wiping Chuckles and cleaning his ears out. He remained smiling and was a good boy throughout 😄
Hello all! I have noticed my cactus is starting to bend/slouch. Is this normal or do I need to make some kind of adjustments with the lighter watering?
Oh hi, little friend. Don't tell Lithops, but I might love Astrophytum flowers the most. This newbie has a little sag, so I tossed the coin on "too much or not enough water" and gave it a good soak. It's potted in my newest recipe, a smidgen of coco coir, and a mix of pumice, clay pebbles and zeolite bits, so I bottom-water (fingers crossed on the theories presented in the last sentence). Ps Zeolite is used in aquariums, but the supposed pros of using it fall in line with the promises of lava/clay bits/akadama (moisture maintenance, reduction of bugs, heat control). Fingers crossed.
Friends have been watching my plants while I’ve been out of state. I left in the middle of may and just now got this picture. No clue how this happened- how do I avoid this in the future? It was also attached how it looked before. Was it too much sun? I still don’t get back for another couple weeks. Is it okay, or is it not going to do well?
I am having trouble identifying these four plants. First pic I had down as a Gasteria Oblique, which came from Planta I believe. And now I know is wrong. Two I have as Gasteraloe Flow. Three I have as Gonialoe Tiger Aloe. Four I have as Gonialoe Variegata. I think one and two are the same. I’ve looked online and the Flow seems to be confusing. Tiger aloe is probably correct. And the id for Variegata is also confusing. They all have the same care but wanted more precise names. So is anyone confident of what they actually are?
How do you like to fertilize your succulents? I have two that I bottom-water, but they're pretty small, and my liquid fertilizer recommends diluting an ounce in a gallon, so should I just use that ratio and scale it down?
Does anyone know what kind of succulent this is? My mom got it for me but she unfortunately threw the tag away before we could check the name.
Help! I got these surprise cuttings in an Etsy order and I don't know what they are. I'm pretty sure the red are aeonium arboreum and I think one of the green ones might be a well but the green ones are different. 2 have white hair. They have twig like stems
Ive been wanting a "Firestick" cactus for a while & now I have one. Am really happy with its coloring & shape but wondering about the dried tips. I suspect they are the dried stems (?) where it flowered and that they'll eventually drop off? Any care tips?
I am needing to repot some of my succulents. I am relatively new to succulents and had repotted all previously in normal potting soil. It's just dumb luck that most of them survived. Or maybe they just like hanging around because they like the sound of my voice. I have done a lot of research on soils, and each article and expert seem to contradict the one before. I do not like Miracle Grow products because I want to know how much and which type of fertilizer my plants get. In addition, I've read/heard from 3 "experts" that Miracle Grow plant food is the plant version of fast food. It contains too much salt. Its good for outside plants because rain dilutes the salt. A lot of the soils I've checked out has vermiculite or peat moss. Now am I wrong, but don't both of these keep water contained rather than draining? There is even one soil that has added coffee to its mix. Heck, between my daughter and I, we drink enough coffee to put the grounds in normal potting soil. Please help! My head is spinning! TYIA.
My string of tears plant! So proud of her…a few months ago she was almost dead cuz I overwatered her when I got her in March… the second picture is from when she started looking healthier again and that was only a month ago! 🪴🌱🌿
Does anyone know what this plant is called? The identifier is trying to dub it a venus flytrap, and that's clearly wrong.
Does anybody know what kind of succulent this is? My plant scanners can’t figure it out - thinking a type of jade?
