Omgggg.... This anacampseros baby is the most dramatic little succulent I have! (I don't have many 😂) The leaves went mushy on me and I lost a lot of it. I figured I over watered it and let him dry out completely and it seemed fine! From top to bottom this thing was dry! So I barely wet the top of the soil thinking I was doing some good... Nope! Mushy leaves at the bottom and they're falling off again... 😑 I'm just going to NOT water him again until he's starting to look wilted. lol He's currently under a grow light. If he doesn't make it, I know I tried! I've never been good with succulents though. My Kalanchoe plants are thriving though and getting so big! Also have some mystery succulent sprouts taking off and doing well. It's just this anacampseros plant. 😭 It has new growth at the top, I guess I just need to leave it alone! lol

I was given some very cute succulents for Mother’s Day, but don’t know what type these are - maybe Echeveria for middle one? Would appreciate any help identifying these three — thank you!

Hey guys, I need some help, my plants are mostly fine but the light in my area has been patchy, I was thinking about getting a grow light for my indoor plants but don’t know which one is good for succulents (if there even is a grow light better for succulents) I also am looking for some affordable 4-5inch terracotta pots with good drainage and a tray. Do y’all know any good sites or companies I could get these from?

Just got these about a week ago and they’ve already grown so what I wanna know is about how long do I wait to transplant it? I’m currently waiting for some succulent potting soil. That’s the reason why I haven’t repotted them already.

Hey guys! What do you think this cactus is? I vaguely remember it said Oreocereus (old man of the Andes) something when I bought it at IKEA but it has no hair. Can Oreocereus have no hair?

Hello there! I imagine it’s normal (?) for some of the succulent “leaves” at the bottom of the plant to become old/yellow/fall off. But I’ve lost 4 this week. Anything you see or notice that would help me keep this guy thriving?

Before and after… I kinda wish the plant on the right wasn’t leaning so much but the stem grew curved soooo 🥹 How do I prune this better next time? Any tips?

I am very nee to the “plant parent” life. I was gifted a Aloe plant and just got this little guy from Lowes the other day. Her petals look weak, but again i do not know anything about these little guys. Can anyone educate me on taking care of her.

Got these three cacti/succulents about 4-5 days ago and I am seeing disfiguration features in one. I last got the info it was a Hawthornia Venosa subsp tessellata from google,yeah I’m not sure that’s what it really is either. It took a photo of the plant a few days later and theres a part of it I’m worried about, I leave it in the sun with my two other cacti,that both like full sun, but plan to put it in its own pot due to the info that it’s a part sun lover, I got that from google and don’t know if it’s right, I watered this one ,along with my other cacti, 4-5 days ago,when I got them, I don’t know what to do, any help?(for clarification the tips are cut short and kinda rough and have crust) please know I just got this app and haven’t gotten to scan this plant,I made this post away from home.

I’ve had this donkey tail for over a year. I keep inside during the winter and outside in mostly shady area in the spring and summer. Recently it has been looking a lighter shade of green and leaves easily fall off. Does it look normal or is something off?

I’m so new to Succulents. I need all the tips I can get! Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? I feel like they’re just dying instead of trying to grow little baby plants. This is a picture from a few days ago. I watered the dirt a little yesterday because it was completely dried out. Is that what I’m supposed to do? -Ok, Last question 🙋‍♀️ What’s the best way to grow Succulents?
