Whatcha doing over there, crested and monstrose buddy? You have a rebellious bebe? Ps after a few years of losing to the mealybug-prone "Ming Thing," I'm convinced that anything crested/monstrose is at a point in life where it can only thrive in a greenhouse. Does anyone here have an ancient crested succulent that can challenge my theory?🌵🩶🌱🌿

Hi, this is my first time having plants especially inside and I was hoping someone could tell me if I need to change anything with how I repotted my succulents. So my coworker told me to plant my succulents in mushroom compost but google said that compost has bad drainage so I added a little bit of dirt that I just scooped up from my yard. I really don’t want my first time owning plants to be a big fail especially because I really like the plants I picked. (PS: I got them from Walmart if that matters any)

Best soil brand for succulents, cactus, euphorbia? I tried several brands from local stores and they always disappoint :(

Birthday plant spree at a new greenhouse! They actually had cacti that I didn't already have. Lol. They're all potted up and in there new homes. My favorite is definitely the Madagascar palm.

I am rearranging my plants, taking a lot away from the front the window because I have no living room left L O L, I want to put a plant light on that circled plant and move it to a darker spot, but I'm not sure what it would need. That's a south facing window and it's been in there since it was in a 4 inch pot, so I really don't want anything to happen to it. Hoping someone knows more about plant lights than I do.

Can someone help me, I just got this Opuntia Monacanthos f. Variegata Monstrose and it has this grayish white dry crust over places it been cut. Additionally it’s only over those areas. Can someone tell me what it is and how to fix it? I’m thinking it’s fungus but I don’t know. I can’t find anything online looking like it.

I need advice! So i believe i have a chichipe cactus, i noticed that one of the cacti were turning colors at the bottom as seen in pic 5. I thought it was overwatered so I was gonna cut it and try to save it, but when i got into the pot and pulled them out, all four were yellow at the bottom. The soil was as dry as dust so im assuming underwatered? I just want to be sure because the yellow seems a little bit soft but not like stem rot or root rot soft you know. They are also kind of wrinkling at the bases before you see the yellow part so I dont know! Im still a beginner and Ive googled it and it keeps coming up with underwatered or overwatered

These are supposed to be easy, and they are if you don't move them around. At all. Set it in a window, ignore it, wake up one morning and find pups!

Confused on what is happening to my succulent. Hi everyone! I was moving some stuff around today and noticed something weird on my big boy. Some of its leaves are wilting and have gone from the normal green color to being yellow near the stem. I last watered it about 2 weeks ago and water it about once every 3 weeks. It is in a north west windowsill. If anyone has any idea what could help my little Buddy that would be great!

Tried to propagate these succulent leaves and no luck. I left them alone for 2 days to allow the ends to callus then put them in soil and misted it but they just look worse. I’m propagating the stem as well in the first one. I just moved them over to the other pot today but the stem on the right is also another propagation from the same plant. Any tips on how to get succulent leaves and stem to propagate. The other stem on the left in the second picture is the “mother plant” any tips on making sure she survives this? She was quite leggy (see last picture) so I figured a cut would be good here.

my euphorbia that i got 4 weeks ago hasn’t grown at all and i just want to make sure there’s nothing wrong. i gave it more stakes because it falls over and tilts very easy. i don’t do anything besides what planta tells me. he probably could use a spray down of neem oil but i will likely wait until his next watering. he came with all these marks and i want to make sure he doesn’t have a fungus. i just got the systemic granules and put them over all my plants and i’ll wait for next watering to push it into soil (finals season is making me a lazy plant parent)
