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. 😍🪴

I was gifted this old gal, and I’d like to improve her life via repotting to a shallow teracotta with soil for epiphytic plants. However, it’s September and she will likely bloom in the next two to three months. Should I wait until spring? I don’t want to kill her!

Hi everyone! My friend got me a succulent for my birthday last year and I fell in love with it for some reason. So now I will be trying to grow a few different types of succulents from seed next week. Would love LOVE any tips and tricks you have. Please and thank you!

Seeking Advice 😊 I have this (once gorgeous) bear claw succulent. I think it’s been growing out of its container, and may have suffered a bit. Would you suggest I repot? How?

New-ish to succulents. I've had this guy for over a year. It's a fast grower. I propagated a few "arms". And it did what expected, where I cut it made new branches. This was back in May. My care hasn't changed, it's location is the same. But, for the last 2 weeks, it started dropping it's petals/leaves. Tonight I was going to do another chop/prop with the branches now "bare", but taking a closer look, it seems to be regrowing petals/leaves in the spots it dropped leaves. Is this normal?

I am at a loss of what I did wrong. I had two euphorbias in a rectangular terracotta planter. I noticed the one not looking so well several weeks ago. I put it off till today. At this point I’m not even sure if the other one is okay. Pics 2 & 3 is the one that is now in the trash. Pic 4 is my repotting of the one that is in better shape. They were getting watered every 16 days. Soil was high grit, about 80%. They were scheduled to be watered. The soil is totally dry. I just wonder if they weren’t watered enough. Or could it be something else. They were in this rectangular planter since April. Previously in separate planters. Anyone have an idea what I did wrong? I see no pests on plant or in soil. TIA.

Repotted my brother's extremely leggy succulent. She was stuck in a pot without drainage, and supposedly didn't have a name yet, so say hello to Hoyt! I'm not the most well-read on succulents, so I was wondering if anyone knew what specific type she is, and if there's anything I can do about her leggy-ness beyond finding her a better spot in direct sunlight? Any help is appreciated! 🫶

I have a Cooper's Haworthia. It has a lot of shoots. Should I separate them or is it OK to leave them attached? If they grow in the wild, I assume the shoots don't detach which makes me think it's OK to leave them. It already has roots growing between the leaves. Is that normal? There are also a lot growing from the base that are really close to the surface of the gritty mix that I use. They're not showing in the drainage holes, which is one of the ways I determine if a plant needs to be repotted. I'm planning to repot it in the same pot since it hasn't really outgrown this one but hopefully bury the roots more. I have attached a photo of the roots within the leaves and the plants page

My first cactus!!! A lady at Home Depot showed me her cacti collection so I spontaneously got one 🌵

Hey all! If you have this cactus, please post pics below. I don't know if I want to keep this shape, or if I should give it a trim when I come around to repotting it. This used to be my dad's. He didn't want to care for it anymore, so now it's in my hands. I've had it for two years now.

I’m fairly new to succulents since moving to California. I’ve built this little collection slowly over the past year and wanted to share. 😁
