I'm not sure what I have here, but i feel like I'm doing something right!? He looks to be thriving... any ideas? My Google lens wasn't much help.

Should I mist my Christmas cactus? I have more supplies coming in the mail but I’m still learning how to care for it.

I hear a humorous, tiny "roar" when I see that sun-stressed, chameleon leaf. Note the Kalenchoe that hitched a ride; both of these species tend to take over everything else in a suc arrangement, and I'm curious to see if they can peacefully coexist.

One of my cactus' is doing really well but the other one has a giant brown dent in it. I give it plenty of water and sunlight. What does it need?

Home for the holidays… These plants are probably over 45 years old!! Pics don’t do their size justice. 🫣

Long live Euphorbia obesa! (These were plucked from the Obesa is the tallest, black pot.)

My Lace Aloe has white spots that I think are mould because it’s in a moist place so is there anything I should do to help stop the mould from spreading and I’m going to try to keep it dry

Hey sorry, no pictures of this, but people who have ponytail palms may notice this. I’ve long wondered why all the ponytail palms sold in stores come with the tops shorn off and the many pups coming out of the sides. That’s not how they grow in nature. And they won’t get any bigger with the top shorn off. So why exactly do nurseries do this? Is it just to make them full at the top, so they look more interesting? I’ve searched online and can’t seem to find an answer. Personally, I think the plant is interesting enough without doing that because it will eventually grow into a big tree! Like my propagated baby.

Happy Holiday Season! (Not my plants)

(Photo is from a temporary spot, he's set up in a lovely spot by a window) Hello! I have a few questions from a beginner! I've just bought a Euphorbia horrida hybrid (specifically i believe grey-form but not 100%) and am planning on re-soiling him in a couple days I think he's doing alright; the baby is a good sign i'm hoping! And he feels very sturdy including towards the base. I didn't notice the stains until now but i hope it's nothing bad Rambling aside, questions below. Any help is very appreciated!: 1. Is he doing alright? Anything do i need to watch out for since he's bought from a hardware store? 2. Should i trim the dead (or maybe just dormant?) flowers or leave them be? 3. I have old Miracle-Gro succulent/cactus soil. Should i buy new soil or a different kind? I've heard mixed opinions on how good that soil is for draining 3.5. If that soil is fine, would it be fine for the winter? It supposedly has extra growth/nutrient stuff in it that might be bad during dormant months 4. When would be the best time for changing the soil? I read you want to water them and then wait 2-3 days for the roots to absorb some water. If the soil towards the bottom of the pot is still damp right now, should i change it to the proper soil when the next watering is? 5. When i do the soil change, should i go ahead and repot at the same time? Specifically into the unglazed pot shown (to get him out of the plastic). If so, how many drainage holes should i add (currently has none)? 6. Should i leave the baby or repot it into a smaller one? Or move it closer to the main one etc etc? Thank you so much for reading and for any help!!

Hi! I have a few new plants, rhipsalis paradoxa, rhipsalis ewaldiana, rhipsalis ramulosa (I think?), rhipsalis trigona. I am finding contradictory information online about light. Can I put them close to the south window indoors, where they get sun or is that too much light for them?

Does anyone know what’s wrong with my plant? I’ve tried not watering it as everyone says it does well without. But I must’ve only watered it a couple weeks ago. Any suggestions?

😭is it gone??? I have had this plant (Elephant bush or mini jade) for 25yrs!!! Lived in the Central Valley of CA where lower elevation and not a very cold winter year after year. Now living in southern NM - high desert elevation, and temps in the mid-upper 50’s, covered in the below freeze nights…. And full sun during the days. But look!!!!😭. Is it lost? Or will she make a comeback in the spring???
