Two more rescued from Walmart. No call back from Costa RE: my concerns about how the small display of cacti are being neglected, Also received my rooted Peruvian apple cactus yesterday, but I am afraid that it may have gotten cold shock and possibly not going to make it. There are many very soft spots, and almost white discolored areas. I wrote a note to the seller. I bought it from on eBay, and sadly, he does not have any more rooted plants, but he is willing to send out a cutting to me at no charge as a replacement. Here are some photos of the two cactus that were saved, as well as the Peruvian, apple cactus. Anyone have any ideas on how to boost the health of the PAC? It does have very small roots. Will post when the cutting arrives so someone that has experience with rooting PAC can help me out. (My Dragon fruit cutting was already rooted and established when my Landlady gave it to me this past summer)

Aloes loving the sunshine and 60-70° weather! ☀️ Question: my terra-cotta pots are turning white and dark colors since being indoors? Suggestions on fixing or preventing the problem? Is it a problem?

My haworthia fell down and broke off a large chunk of growth. Can I just stick the part that fell off (2nd photo) in dirt to root? The 3rd photo was the plant before the fall. Any suggestions on how to save her welcome!

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?

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! 😆

Is it ok for a snake plant to be near a dog like the air but the dog will never touch it?
