Update - I cut it… but do I need to cut more? This is after about an hour.
Hi! I’ve had this cactus for 17 years… it’s the baby of my dad’s cactus and has flowered and birth new cacti once (in 2023 or so).
It was looking just fine in late Aug, but it now has a lot of black on the base. The obvious answer is root rot, which Dr. Planta also suspects, but it’s not soft at all. I read online that it could be corking as well.
We’ve been getting short, heavy rain this summer, so even though I haven’t watered it much - overwatering is possible.
Any insights? Thank you!

I recently bought this cool bookcase from ikea and I realized it had perfect space for my cacti collection. Installed a grow light from Amazon and I’m in love :)

Trying to figure out the name of this plant. The app says Houseleek tree ‘Kiwi’ but it doesn’t look the same when I look online. I want to propagate some of her because of the reaching, but I don’t want to mess anything up! Any and all help in identifying the plant would be appreciated!! (Not the jade plant or the small bundle in the right corner)

Still not sure what this is. The app tells me it’s one thing but it looks nothing like it. I don’t know if I should give up on this plant. I don’t know what to do. We’re building and landscaping so I can’t plant it outside so the roots along the stems can get to dirt. It’s just been stressing me out. I water when needed. Fertilize when I’m supposed to. I just don’t know.

I am told that this is underwatered, is that what it looks like? It is a “Zwartkopf.” really appreciate any help I can get. I’ve killed one of these before. 😐☹️ Thank you!

I have two new babies—one is a family of Lithops and the other is this fluffy looking one—any tips?

Is this a normal look for this plant? Its stems are so thin and long

I planted about 4 of these with dragon fruit seeds and noticed these on the side!

Had a real bad pest infestation when I first got it. Had to replant but it’s growing new pearls and in a lot better condition.
