No matter how hard I try, this paddle plant is so sad. Its roots are in such a small little chunk, and it never feels sturdy in its pot. The leaves are only at the top, and the angle down instead of up. Does anybody have any idea how I can help this poor guy? He has been on a steady decline since September (frog pot on the right is before).

Okay, what’s the secret to keeping a string of pearls alive? My string of heart is doing well but my string of pearls died on me. What gives? Any pointers?
Echeveria addicted and my vendor kills it with the freebies ❣️
I’ve had this plant for over 3 years and have in the past spread it into two. Suddenly both plants, about half of them are leaning and browning. I recently repotted them with cactus soil, more drainage holes, and rocks in the bottom (how they’ve always been potted). Any ideas what I’m doing wrong or how to save them?
So I got this snake plant today, I repotted it. I didn’t water it but I did mist the soil decently. I’m guessing Walmart watered it within the last week cuz soil was still wet so I don’t want to repot it and then drown the plant. Is this what u would do? Or should I do something different Should I wait until the soil is completely dry before actually watering since it was jsut watered by the store? I misted the soil until it was damp App says to water in 19 days Also its in a 60% orchard bark, 20% perlite, 20% cactus soil mix
I find cuttings the most satisfying
I saved these little ones from Walmart about a week and a half ago. They were all pretty much falling out of their pots. Needless to say I got after the Garden center person and told him they need to speak to the company that takes care of their cacti so they could be sold much healthier. How do I tell if these are still alive, or if it’s just a husk of what they once were?
Can anyone help me with my African Milk Tree? It's flopping over quite a bit, especially in the last few days. I read they get top heavy, and mine is about 4' tall. If I need to trim, how do I do that, or where would I cut it?
The dark cold January “Ice Storm Fern” has took a toll on my Aloes! Poor girls is looking rough. But there isn’t much I know I can do while in the house, I know they crave sunlight and there just isn’t any in this house. They are still putting out new stalks but they look like they’re shriveling. I’m watering them about every 20 days. The baby gets watered every 2 weeks. Today I took a stick and loosed the soil and watered them. Any help? Fertilizer tips maybe? Also if your a creative and you know some cool Aloe themed names…. I’m taking suggestions! 😆
What is wrong with my aloe she was doing so good then all of a sudden she seems flat and has brown tips
Found an amazing cactus nursery while traveling. Had to take these home with me!
Is it ok for a snake plant to be near a dog like the air but the dog will never touch it?
Any tips for sun stressing these?
Can someone tell me what the name of this cactus is?
Oh my! Was about to water my Tippy and noticed it’s starting to flower not just once, but now twice!
Hi 👋 I just joined a few days ago , I have a few questions on Succulents. I'm pretty good on taking care of regular house plants , but I will take advice also cause we're always learning , so I still have these little guys that are growing 😁 & not sure when to put them in another pot & also what to use for them ,
What is your most fun and unique succulent you own?
I got into the hobby of making broken pot gardens a few years back. I absolutely love the way the sedum grew in this one and wowza, how orange it is. Any thoughts as to what kind of sedum this is?
Hi :) I noticed white growth on the leaves of my Crassula Ovata Gollum.. I read online that it could be mineral deposit; I’m almost sure it’s not mealy bugs. I don’t see anything moving… Any input please? Thanks in advance!!
At what point should I transfer this baby into their own pot?
