Love my fish bone cactus! Lately it has been sending up shoots. I think it might be preparing to blossom/flower. Can anyone confirm?

Can anyone identify what Echevaria this is?

Trying to ID these. Not sure if all my searching was right. 1st one is supposed to be a Austrocylindropuntia. 2nd one is supposed to be a Cylindropuntia. Anyone know?

Does this look like an Opuntia humifosa (sp) to you? I bought 3 cacti today and I'm having trouble identifying them.

Can any of these succulents I have be planted together?

Hi! I bought some greedy mix for my new succulents. Should I mix some soil in with it or use the greedy mix alone. Thanks!

My baseball cactus bloomed a couple flowers 🤗

This is my rat tail cactus. It's in a SW window and I water it when it's totally dry. Some of the legs are turning brown. Not sure why. They're not dying, just getting a brown tinge. Any ideas?

Should I repot my old man of the Andes? I’ve had it for about a year and there’s hardly any space around it in the pot. The soil has also packed down a lot in that time and it’s gotten fairly top-heavy. (Please note I am aware of the etiolation, it was like that when I got it but has started widening out at the top! ☺️)

I am looking for the cause of the brown lines on these leaves. The lines create a scar as well, an indentation on the side of each leaf. I’ve had same problem on a couple other succulents, but they keep growing as if nothing is wrong.

Hi! New plant owner here! I would really like some help identifying and figuring out what I’m doing wrong with these plants. The smaller plants came from the larger plant sand it seems like the smaller ones are doing worse. I’ve tried so many different methods to figure out what variety these plants are to figure out what I’m doing wrong. Please help!!

So I’m now at 41 plants since starting my plant journey this past July. I had to save the aloe from the curb. There were like 12 of them lol I took 2. Couldnt help myself haha

I was told to grow this in a shallow pot where the plant can continue its counterclockwise growth. Well, that "pot" is completely out of control big (pictured), and so so does not fit. However, yep, it is headed - per those pups - for another counterclockwise trip around the Sun/a black plastic pot.

Some of my S. African friends in motion - even if it's slow motion. The Karoo Rose is a really fascinating, confusing ball of wrinkles and showy, bright blooms; in this stage, I could watch it unfolding in almost real-time. I did try the "paint brush in the flower pollen," but across species. It will produce no Karoo Rose x Lithops hybrid. Or will it? Every one of these "open, split horizontal, open, split vertically" came from the same ooze with a slightly different taxonomy. Dreamy Sunday thoughts. Note the brownish red Lithops duo who refuse to eat their young thus far lol. Also, check out those tiny lithops, who are at least two years old. I thought about tossing them, twice, but the roots are very established and clinging. Fun fact: I recently read that Lithops do benefit from a fertilizer, but the nitrogen should be low-ish. Lithops and all the scorched desert/ quartz mine dwellers absorb nutrients more slowly because, well, the organic matter in a quartz mine is scarce. Slow chewers who like light drinks of water, basically...but I am also insistent on an occasional Spring bottom watering. But maybe now I get what people mean by "fertilizer them sometimes." I'm not a flipping greenhouse so IDK. That kind of accounts for the more humidity-gathering blue columnars and melocactus who live in similar inorganic conditions. They are so slow to mature for a reason. Same with barrel cactus, etc. etc. Yes, that outdoor cactus is thriving in completely impacted sand and rocks, and it knows what it's doing. Don't dig it up and add Pearlite :) Okay, enough fake Scientific Model talk. Look at my flowers.

Help!! I’ve had this crassula since June this year It had a rough winter and the leaves were all falling off so I gave it a trim but I’m a bit worried that I might be killing it at this point :(( It was the first plant I got so I’m very determined to keep it alive, but I was very slack with it over the winter and have only now begun to establish the proper care it needs Any help or advice is appreciated TIA
