I have just been wiping Chuckles and cleaning his ears out. He remained smiling and was a good boy throughout 😄

Hello all! I have noticed my cactus is starting to bend/slouch. Is this normal or do I need to make some kind of adjustments with the lighter watering?

Oh hi, little friend. Don't tell Lithops, but I might love Astrophytum flowers the most. This newbie has a little sag, so I tossed the coin on "too much or not enough water" and gave it a good soak. It's potted in my newest recipe, a smidgen of coco coir, and a mix of pumice, clay pebbles and zeolite bits, so I bottom-water (fingers crossed on the theories presented in the last sentence). Ps Zeolite is used in aquariums, but the supposed pros of using it fall in line with the promises of lava/clay bits/akadama (moisture maintenance, reduction of bugs, heat control). Fingers crossed.
Beeps!
Friends have been watching my plants while I’ve been out of state. I left in the middle of may and just now got this picture. No clue how this happened- how do I avoid this in the future? It was also attached how it looked before. Was it too much sun? I still don’t get back for another couple weeks. Is it okay, or is it not going to do well?

I am having trouble identifying these four plants. First pic I had down as a Gasteria Oblique, which came from Planta I believe. And now I know is wrong. Two I have as Gasteraloe Flow. Three I have as Gonialoe Tiger Aloe. Four I have as Gonialoe Variegata. I think one and two are the same. I’ve looked online and the Flow seems to be confusing. Tiger aloe is probably correct. And the id for Variegata is also confusing. They all have the same care but wanted more precise names. So is anyone confident of what they actually are?

How do you like to fertilize your succulents? I have two that I bottom-water, but they're pretty small, and my liquid fertilizer recommends diluting an ounce in a gallon, so should I just use that ratio and scale it down?

Does anyone know what kind of succulent this is? My mom got it for me but she unfortunately threw the tag away before we could check the name.

Help! I got these surprise cuttings in an Etsy order and I don't know what they are. I'm pretty sure the red are aeonium arboreum and I think one of the green ones might be a well but the green ones are different. 2 have white hair. They have twig like stems

Ive been wanting a "Firestick" cactus for a while & now I have one. Am really happy with its coloring & shape but wondering about the dried tips. I suspect they are the dried stems (?) where it flowered and that they'll eventually drop off? Any care tips?

I am needing to repot some of my succulents. I am relatively new to succulents and had repotted all previously in normal potting soil. It's just dumb luck that most of them survived. Or maybe they just like hanging around because they like the sound of my voice. I have done a lot of research on soils, and each article and expert seem to contradict the one before. I do not like Miracle Grow products because I want to know how much and which type of fertilizer my plants get. In addition, I've read/heard from 3 "experts" that Miracle Grow plant food is the plant version of fast food. It contains too much salt. Its good for outside plants because rain dilutes the salt. A lot of the soils I've checked out has vermiculite or peat moss. Now am I wrong, but don't both of these keep water contained rather than draining? There is even one soil that has added coffee to its mix. Heck, between my daughter and I, we drink enough coffee to put the grounds in normal potting soil. Please help! My head is spinning! TYIA.

My string of tears plant! So proud of her…a few months ago she was almost dead cuz I overwatered her when I got her in March… the second picture is from when she started looking healthier again and that was only a month ago! 🪴🌱🌿

Does anyone know what this plant is called? The identifier is trying to dub it a venus flytrap, and that's clearly wrong.

Does anybody know what kind of succulent this is? My plant scanners can’t figure it out - thinking a type of jade?

Guess who’s back? Back again? I’m not sure how I missed this but is this root rot at the base of this cactus? It doesn’t seem mushy or malodorous. Thanks!

Anyone know why the bottom leaves are dying? I just watered it today and it gets quite a bit of sun so I’m not sure what to do. First time plant owner btw so I’m new to all of this.

Are there specific outdoor and indoor succulents and cactus?
