Okay. So. I feel like I know some of the answers I’m already going to get here already, but here goes… Ever since I got this little guy he’s been stretching and stretching and lost the red colouring. I KNOW that’s lack of sunlight. I put it in a south facing window for a while and it didn’t seem to help unfortunately. In the meantime it also got a lot of edema I think because I was afraid to water it too much so may have been too irregular. I have since moved to an apartment with no south windows :( it is currently under a very bright grow light that has been known to scorch my basil, but it’s only gotten more etoliated. Now, its leaves are really drooping down quite dramatically - is that from overwatering or just lack of sunlight? Some advice would be much appreciated! Note that this photo was before moving to the grow light.

This one has also been outside over the summer & it got a nice brownish sun stress color along with some new growth!

I’ve also been thinking of chopping this one back just bc I liked how it looked more as a shorty.
I’ve never chopped a cacti tho so I’m curious as to whether I just chop & transplant directly into the medium? Any advice is appreciated.

The difference a summer outside can do 🤩🌵✨

She’s about 19 inches across, Doing great, has a little dehydration in the long limbs, but growing bigger! I have her in a big pot because, she wasn’t thriving in a small, congested space. I would love any help or suggestions? 🪴

Should I be worried that my peperomia tacos are starting to lean from their own weight? It seems very happy and healthy, grows rappidly, yada yada. Just not sure what to do about the top-heaviness.

Does anyone know what’s going on with my succulent? The bottom leaves have been shriveling up and falling off, the the healthy ones have been snapping off with barely any touch

My poor Red Dragon! Help please. He’s great except for this one piece. Not sure what happened. Should I leave it alone or cut it off and wait for it to callous and replant? Thanks!

My Echevaria Cante has a gooey leaf... should that be cut? The leaf is touching the TC pot, maybe it's "irritated" by it? Thoughts?

For those who were interested, I finally got word back from Lechuza about Cactus Pon…
Hi Helen,
Thank you for your message. Please see Lechuza's response to your earlier questions:
As you work with very small succulents and cactus, he could also fill a Delta 10 or Cubeto 30 with several plants at the same time.
I would then recommend the following as a planting substrate: Drainage layer as usual and add the LECHUZA PON and then plant in the Cactuspon.
Always leave the water level indicator at the lower level. This serves to check that there is NO WATER in the tank.
Otherwise you can also plant in the mini planters in the Cactuspon. Again, please do not leave any water in the reservoir.
Water from above, let the water run through and then remove the excess water.
Succulents and cactus need almost no water and store a lot of water themselves.
Watering is then only carried out as required (finger test).

Currently using a pre mixed bag of cactus soil, but I feel like it’s not very good. Any tips or specific brands that are the best?

Hi everyone! I have a HUGE moon cactus (I think) that is at least 25 years old and I want to maybe cut it down and make two or more plants. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice for how best to do this? Thank you so much!!

It's Euphorbia season at the box stores in my area. I went in for the Suzannae but couldn't resist another Obessa. Obsessa is more like it wah wah.

Need some extra help with this guy. The planta app is not really recognizing what kind of plant this is and I’m getting a bunch of different answers. It looks like ghost plant to me?? I can’t find anything else on the internet that grows similar to this. Any advice with care for this guy helps all the leaves have fallen off but the soil has been completely dry every time I’ve watered it. And I see nubs on the stem but everything I’m reading on the internet says new growth comes from the top??
