This is my cactus! I’m new to the plant community and I just wanted to say hello to everyone!
I got this guy some months ago and cleared out all the dead leaves and so forth. The offshoots are doing great. Those seem to have stronger roots now. My question is why do I keep getting tips to shrivel and brown? I only water when bone dry. He seems healthy and happy and actually kind of perked up when I removed the undergrowth (probably 4+ months back.) is this normal?
I adopted a guinea fowl aloe from a local woman who’s moving across the state. That pot is a good 16” or so. Her name is Calypso. She has a pretty offshoot there on the right. If there is anything you see that needs to be done let me know. The pot has drainage. Watered and fertilised today.
I posted on here a few days back about my cactus arriving damaged and me trying to save it.. this is where I'm at, I water it with a spray bottle every couple of days as it looks like it's drying out? But some parts are sticking some not... Should i keep going as I know will take a while to fix.. if so what's the other alternative? Plant the broken part in the soil??
I picked up a few new babies today!! Also a pot I fell in love with but does not have a drainage hole, any suggestions? I’m afraid to drill one because I don’t want to crack it! I’d like to use it for the String of Turtles, but I can also find a non draining friendly plant 😏
What are these small tufts around my hen? Are they new chick?
Hey everybody, I just got my first plant!! I just wanted to know if the plates thingies at the bottom of a pot signifies that there’s a hole at the bottoms. Cause I don’t want my plant to die 😓😓 he’s name is opium horwendorth btw
first fluff on my little paper spine :)
I was just gifted this beauty and feel like she needs a bigger pot…am I correct? I’m a first time plant mom and have been successful thus far with my other plants so I would like to keep my success going😅 Any tips/tricks are encouraged!! (Including pot size and soil type!😆)
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my Echeveria? It started shriveling leaves on the bottom and now the middle. Please help! Here is a before and after:
Just found this on the back of one of my kalanchoe leaves. Any clue what pest it is??
First bloom of the season. This lifesaver cactus has really taken off after a repot and separation.
Does anyone in PA know where to buy Jade plants? I’ve only ever seen them in Home Depot and Lowe’s, and from my experience with both stores, they tend to have issues with their plants getting infested with insects that you end up bringing home and infecting your other houseplants. Any online sellers are fine too, but I really only know one nursery that’s in my area, and they don’t sell jades.
Hi! I need some help identifying this succulent. I originally thought it was a Mexican snowball (echeveria elegans) but now thinking maybe it’s not? I am also concerned because it’s turning pink. Any advice?
Hi everyone! I was recently given what I believe to be a Prickly Pear Cactus to look after for a few months but it’s in really rough shape and I’m unsure the best course of action. Anyone have any suggestions? I don’t know if it’s under watered or why it’s so discolored. Thanks!
Hey guys! This is my first succulent it’s a little Cobweb houseleek and I was wondering if I should repot it in a little bit of a bigger pot or just leave it in the nursery pot? Also how often should I water it?
Hi friends! I recently received a (albeit very sickly) astrophytum/goats head cactus from a friend. He didn’t have the time to try and save him and wanted to see if I could give it a shot. Now I am not an expert by any means but I used Dr Planta to diagnose it and it thinks it’s scales (EEK). What do you guys think? Did I just endanger the rest of my plants by bringing this one into the home? If so, how do I make sure they don’t get scales?? I tried to see if I could pull any of the reddish bits off and they don’t budge so I am hoping it is edema/discoloration. I don’t see any moving pests on there either. HELP
I was just given this Christmas cactus as a gift. After doing some research I learned that there are Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas cactus and they are commonly confused with one another. Just wanted to check to make sure so I can take care of it properly. What kind do you guys think it is?
My first succulent. 😎 The app says it should be in a pot with drainage. Is that true? I plan to repot it when it gets bigger and figured I could do it then if that’s the case. 🤷🏽♀️
My jellybean aurora is looking like this. Are these hairs normal? None of my other succulents look like this 😵💫
