Just picked up this cutie from Lowe’s! I’ve never seen anything like it IRL so I just HAD to snatch it up 😍

Help needed! ** not as urgent anymore, but care for echeveria tips would be highly appreciated <3 This is Pheo, he has been leggy since I got him and now it’s worse to the point he was severely leaning and threatening to just fall. I struggled to identify what he is and honestly, still am, but he looks like he is definitely either echeveria or possibly crassula? That is just my own not so researched opinion though, I’m mostly used to my aloe plant and my regular, healthy jade plants but I’m trying really hard here. I need tips on how to properly care further for this plant, possible identification, or any other advice. **editing this to add that i’m aware the legginess is due to a severe lack of sunlight, im going to try and get a grow light soon. i just need to know how on earth to move forward!

Can you bottom-water cacti and succulents? I try to water them from the top down but the leaves are too big on my succulents to get to the soil without spilling n stuff

This is Pip :)! Shes gotten so big since I’ve rescued her from cvs. I remember her being as big as a quarter pretty much. Ugh i love her and shes doing amazing. Just repotted her recently to a bigger and deeper pot. Also had some donkey tail petals put in there to see if i could propagate them. Hopefully it works :D i did notice some roots on some so thats good, i think haha :D Also side note: if anyone has any tips on repotting cacti easier without damaging them or my hands lol that would be amazing. I used a thick paper bag to put over them (didnt have gloves :0) and then grabbed the base but managed to poke through the paper bag TuT I kinda winged it but i guess it worked. I just dont want to break off any spikeys, even though theyd probably grow back buuut…

I have a “Torch Cactus”. It has bloomed and now the bloom has closed and his discolored on the ends. Is this normal? Also, any tips, tricks, or helpful ideas welcomed! I’m new to the cactus community!

Hey guys. Any ideas on why my succulent grows vertical? When I got it, it was very wide and horizontal.

Aly 🥀

Should I separate and repot them ?

Is this too much light for a Gasteria?

Hi friends! 🌵 Today was watering day for my cactus and I noticed some spots that may be concerning? I really do not know if this is unusual, but I have never noticed them before and I have had my cactus for about 10 months now. I’m wondering if it is time to repot…as you can see just a few roots coming from the bottom of the pot. If anyone knows what this is or what to do, I would greatly appreciate some advice!

Mariah

I just let this beast do whatever she wants 😂😂 Thinking about wrapping her around a heart shaped trellis when I repot!

My poor lil string of pearls has not been doin too well, so I revamped her soil, ridding the dead bits and added some sphagnum moss to try and promote new root growth☺️ first time working with moss🤞🏼

Hi there! I am new to the plant community and if I am being honest I have NO IDEA what I am doing. I’ve been just winging it and I’m looking for advice on how to care for these guys. I have what I believe to be an aloe, swiss cheese monstera, dieffenbachia, a lil air plant dude, and a mystery cactus (if anyone can identify the weird skinny cactus lmk). Any tips and tricks are appreciated!! ♥️

My jade is a year old now as well as my echeverias 🪴💕 I’ve learned about these babies this this last year and I’m definitely confident to get more succulents and even some cacti babies this summer. Time to start a succulent collection 🥹

I’ve always admired jade plants, and my daughter fell in love with this one when we were out yesterday. For $10, I couldn’t say no. But all I know is that they need lots of sun, are slow growing, and (I think?) need pruning from time to time. What’s your best tips for a thriving plant? Or any favorite resources to learn more about jades.
