Is my poor girl cooked? đâčïž Long story short I thought I found some scale on my cactus so I followed instructions on how to kill it. I sprayed with insecticide, picked off the scale, hosed her down with water, then sprayed again at night so she wouldnât get scorched during the day. A couple days later I come outside to see this! Did I completely destroy my cactus? What should I do? I took her out of her pot she came in, roots look perfectly fine as far as I can tell. The weird bumps took over before the black ensued shortly after. Thanks in advance đđœ

Help! My Indian fig (?) cactus is flourishing and getting so tall that she falls over. I have a stake to help, and it seems after watering she perks up but then she falls back down a few days later. Unfortunately Iâm not in this room everyday so I canât monitor frequently. The plant is about 12 inches in a small 4-5â pot and Iâm wondering if a taller pot would be helpful as I donât want to overwater either

I'm not really a Cactus person. I have no idea what's going on with this baby. The center is supposed to be red, it's now a pale pink. Is it too late to save it? It gets filtered light and I let it completely dry out between waterings. I would appreciate any insight on how to get it healthy and keep it that way. Ty.

I'm looking for unusual succulents/cactus. They don't have to be rare, just unique, at least to me. đ What online stores or individual sellers (such as those selling on Etsy) do you recommend?

Hello!
This little guy has been growing steadily for several months, do you guys think itâs ready for propagation? I was thinking about planting it with my other baby snake plant to keep it company! đ„°

Would anybody be able to give me any advice on propagating succulents? Iâve been trying for a while with a bunch of leaves Iâve got but all of them keep getting wrinkly or squishy and gross before any roots even appear. Iâm letting them callus over before putting them on top of soil and Iâm keeping the soil dry the whole time, but no luck so far.

Help! My prickly pear cactus is unwell at the bottom but thriving at the top. I was instructed to cut the rot off but it looks like it spread. Can it be saved?

Hello, for any aloe people out there, I have had this aloe plant for a few years living in an apartment with a north-facing shady balcony. I realize it wasnât getting enough light but was able to keep this relatively healthy, albeit thinner than I would like. I now have moved to a place with an east-facing balcony (since April) and nice sunlight throughout half the day, and bright light rest of the day anticipating this to be good for my aloes, but not sure timeline what to expect. This one was browning at first so thought maybe too much, and brought it back into a corner with less sun. It seems overall healthy, and it has only been 4 months, but still the lower leaves tend to buckle near the stem and eventually deflate. What causes this? I donât think I overwater and I keep it in a terracotta unglazed pot with good drainage. I have recently separated a pup from this, about 2 months ago I think, and the pup seems to be recovering with only the 2 bottom leaves buckled but the rest ok, but looking kind of pale. Any insight would be appreciated!

Iâm still kind of new to keeping succulents. Iâm noticing that a lot of my succulents are growing aerial roots from their stems. Iâm not sure if they need more water or something elseâŠ.

Im starting to get into cacti after a lot of my tropicals have been getting scorched by my west window. I plan on getting Cereus repandus and spiralis. Iâm looking maybe for interesting Euphorbia but donât really know. What do you guys recommend for faster growing cacti?
