🆘 I am looking for help in getting my cacti pups to root. They fall off & I try to get them to callous than I put them in succulent soil mixed with coffee grounds and water… is there anything I’m missing?

Total newbie here! I made the mistake of repotting my constrained Aloe (pictured on the left) in regular potting soil in a glazed pot. It started doing very poorly almost right away, so a few days later I repotted it again in cactus soil in a terracotta pot. The middle picture is last Saturday, and the rightmost picture is this morning (2 days after repotting). Still some way to go be be totally healthy, but I see an improvement. All this to say, lesson learned on following recommended soils. I think my aloe (Mal) will pull through!

My string of dolphins never seems very happy the top is always bald and dry feeling even though I keep it watered and it sort of feels like the soil is eroding a little in there IDK cuz it's hanging out but any thoughts 🫶🪴🐬

Hi dear C&S parents. I have a question about repotting. Should I repot this molded wax succulent in a bigger pot this spring? I re-potted it last year and it doesn’t look root-bound to me. However, it looks a little bit too big for the current pot. What do you think? Many thanks! X 🌿

So my Thanksgiving cactus looks like it's going to bloom again, I haven't given it any fertilizer or Epsom salt since probably October I'm wondering if I should give it some Epsom salt to help it produce blooms? 🧡🌵🙏

Happy Saturday, everyone… I’ve had this cactus for a couple of years now just noticed this closer to the base . Would this be some type of rot? I hope not…

Severe etiolation even under grow light. Got any helpful tips y’all?

Hlo, I've had this for a few years now and it's got a noticeable tilt from just general light direction is there anyway I can correct the growth or encourage fattening on the part that is concaved?

What could be causing this in all my cacti? All the pots have drainage holes and I spray water on them every 2-3 weeks Could anyone help?

My plant fell off the stand and crack almost completely in half 😩 I have it like this with some chopsticks for support, or is it going to grow back together? Or is it better just to plant the top half next to the bottom half

It's got this Crystaly crusty stuff on it and it's not super smooth like an aloe I believe it's a haworthia I just don't know what's kind 😵💫🪴🙏

Hi everyone. I got a new succulent which at first just had a couple of sun/edema spots but in the 2 weeks I’ve had it, its leaves have developed spots/marks all over. Two leaves shriveled up today but all the rest are super plump. I haven’t watered it since I got it and I repotted it immediately into a chunky succulent soil mix to live with this aloe. The roots looked great. He’s under a grow light 12hr/day plus in a W window (I’m far north so don’t get too much light. All the other succulents are loving it). Let me know what you think - thank you! Last pic is what he looked like when I got him.

Newest additions. Found them at Walmart. Pricey but worth it.

First time propagation, just took some leaves off waiting to dry out. Wish me luck!😻

How do you guys know when your succulent is supposed to be tall and when it’s etiolating? I have this cotyledon orbiculata pigs ear. The first pic was what it looked like when I got it (repotted it) and the second pic is where it’s at today. It’s been about 30 days. I’ve moved it twice, as the first place I had it some of the other succulents it was with started etiolating. Now it’s directly under the light. Also any ideas why the leaves are bending downward??

New babies on the bottom. Time to start some new plants. Lol
