First off, it definitely needs much, much more light.. I have never cut one back, but my suggestion is to do that and see what happens. Also, there seem to be a number of plants in there because each stem is generally a new plant the base should look like a bulb. After you get it going again, you may want to pop it out of the pot, look at it and see if you do have separate plants. If so, you’ll need to separate them. I’d save the healthiest ones and pitch the other others.
I have this desert rose for a couple of years. When I got it, it was a little bit smaller, but it had aphids. I fixed that problem. It’s had issues on and off. Has anyone cut this back? It has not flowered. I just repotted it in some cactus/succulent rocks. My husband took it to work to see if it flourish and it didn’t. So I just brought it back home. Can someone help with the care on this one with me, please?
Accidentally dropped Benjamin String-of-Buttons! Can I propagate this roughly one inch piece that broke off?
How do I water my molded wax plant? There isn’t much exposed soil unless I repot him. Or should I water from the bottom?
Just potted this beautiful echeveria that was from a bouquet. I hope it thrives! 🤞🏼

First bloom of the season for my monkey tail cactus 🥰
Clint Eastwood is ready for the scorching summer ☺️. Right now, it's still 107 high and low of 75 degrees. We don't want him to get sun-burned during peak season. Yes, yes... All my cacti are "spoiled brats", LOL! "Go ahead... overwater me. Make my day." False Saguaro 2-1/2 y/o
I’m very new to succulents. Planta doesn’t have a flowering stage. I don’t want to google lol but what is this baby doing. Is it making more babies?
What can (or should) I do with the wee lad to get him to grow larger and fuller? Repotted less than 6 months ago. Photo taken 20 June 2026.
Here’s Ember just after I saved her from Walmart, on the right. And a group of months later…how she’s doing now!!! Any suggestions on pruning, to promote more flowers? Or any other tips y’all have are very welcome!
My newest baby. I love the weird ones. 🤪
I was going absolutely crazy with the number of plants that I had to water (69 cactus/succulents on my bookshelf alone 🤦🏼). So I started combining four or five in a pot. Unfortunately though, it gave me more room on my bookshelf so I'm just adding more. Lol. 👍🏼🥰
The cutest little flowers you ever did see 🤩
I need some help figuring out the best place to prune my jade plant, so it can branch out and grow bigger. So far I’m not sure if there is a good place to prune it, and am wondering if I should let it grow out bigger before pruning it.
Just got these guys at Walmart! Pretty good price too, I think! Are they well spaced? What are they? How’s Costa Farms soil look for now? I have a good cactus and succulent mix I’d like to use eventually.
I rescued this baby who was aggressively etiolated. He was like 8 inches long limp asparagus 😂 Once I came into owning this plant, I cut it back to give it a chance at life. It’s thriving! He’s got a regimented 12 hour grow light schedule and Planta’s watering advice. Any thoughts on supporting it so it doesn’t begin to crawl/lean again? Dude is already getting kinda tall! I know it was based on bad conditions which no longer exist, but I don’t want to have to cut it back again. Thanks for any help!!
Look at this adorable cactus I saw in shop rite today!🤠should I get it???
