Hello! Was wanting some advice and tips for repotting a Burros Tail. I bought her last week and have been letting the soil dry out so I can repot. She was absolutely soaked when I get her💔 now that its time to repot, im nervous😅 for most of my plants, I wait about a week, then do a complete repot- get all the dirt off and replace with my soil mix. For a burros tail, do I flip it over, get the excess dirt off and then repot? Or take ALL the dirt away, form a root ball then repot and hope it doesn't go into shock? im also seeing some yellowing stems and some dying. Do I propagate that stem? Like chop the green off and put the end back in the pot? Is the yellowing from light? I have a grow light bulb in the room itself, she's also like a foot away from the window but on the ground. She gets plenty of light but maybe too much? I would love to keep her intact, together and full. My hope for her is for the top to full as can be then beautiful and healthy vines. Any advice and tips are very appreciated!

I just got a Burros tail succulent the other day and every time I try to have a succulent it always dies! Any advice or tips would be helpful! It’s in a window sill with evening partial sun, planted in cactus soil and in a terracotta pot!

I’m trying to get better at caring for string of pearls, can someone please tell me if this is ready to be watered or if I should wait longer?

She was doing so well and growing like crazy, then she dropped half her leaves over the weekend, help!! Cactus/succulent soil, terracotta pot with drainage, no root rot, checked for mealy bugs. No idea what her problem is.

Hello! I inherited this jade (my first jade!) from my mum, and after a few months of care I am wondering how I can correct her lean and fill her out a bit. Her sparser side has been facing the sun the entire time I’ve had her.

Okay so potting two different aloes together might not be a wise choice. Lesson learned after trying it yesterday 🤦🏻‍♀️ I brought my two aloes inside yesterday from the patio and repotted them together. They almost ripped each other to pieces. And then I separated them. Now here they are, my aloe. They look like scary monsters now. Any suggestions on how I can get them to bounce back?

Help! My purple desert rose is very wrinkled despite having regular watering when needed, absolutely no signs of root rot and placed in an east facing window, I have no clue why its all shriveled up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys! A friend of mine asked me what is happening to her cactus, and I have never seen anything like it before. Any ideas or advice? (yes we know what it looks like lol)

My Christmas cactus started drooping and the leaves are turning mushy all of a sudden. I repotted it to check the roots and give it a bigger pot but that seemed to send it into even more shock. The roots seemed fine, possibly a bit wet but I didn’t notice root rot. Is there anything I can do to save it?

I need help with my Desert Rose. Both plants bought at the same time. Same soil, same pots, same window, same schedule. One is thriving, the other has started to brown on the tips of the leaves. Any ideas?? Ty in advance.

What kind of succulent is this and is it etiolated or is this species supposed to look leggy like this? I just plucked about 8 old yellow dying leaves from the bottom revealing little baby leaves coming from the stem at those spots too. I just got it the other day and have it outside acclimating to be in full sun.

Yesterday morning my husband told me I didn’t have enough cacti. 😏 Challenge accepted good sir. By evening 3 more had joined the jungle. It was my first time seeing a brain cactus in the wild & I scooped it up so fast. I’ve been lusting after the opuntia & thimble for some time, but I was waiting for just the right shapes. Funny how it all happened on the same day 😆

Look at my beautiful Gentleness. 💚💚💚 she was a thank you gift at a bridal shower I went to. I placed a yellow gnat trap in her because my plant next to her has a few. She’s been safe from them so far as her soil isn’t really what they like. But look at how beautiful she is. She had three chicks and one fell off and I just left it off to the side. Still hoping she can root up soon. But look how beautiful she is. She sits in my sunniest window that gets morning light. Not sure what will come next or what she will do next but she is such a marvel to behold. Added in a photo of my pup. She sits and looks out the window when I stare at my plants. 😍🪴
