Does anyone know how often and how much I should be watering my succulents? I have a baby ghost plant that I’ve had for about a month and two new plants (elephant bush and echeveria). I’m a bit worried about root rot and overwatering, especially for the ghost plant. The app tells me to water it until water runs out the drain every 8-12 days cuz it’s June and I guess it’s warmer but I feel like it’s just way too much and they’re inside. My soil was holding on to a lot of water too so I decided to buy a different kind and replaced it today. I put the ittiest bit of water in the new soil since they were just watered yesterday but yeah just pretty worried I’m overwatering my succulents. (These pics are from yesterday after watering them and before replacing soil today. Tried to drain and get it to dry out but the ghost was especially bad.) :(

Does anyone know what might be happening to these leaves? One leaf that I already removed began molding (I believe) before being moved outside for the summer. The new leaves are healthy but then start forming these dark spots. Should I only remove all affected leaves or treat the whole plant?

Do these look sunburned or more like a watering issue? I moved my succulents outside for the summer and think I may have sunburned my burro’s tail and SOP. The affected leaves on the burro’s tail are dropping and I have been placing back into the soil. The affected pearls on the SOP are shriveled and mushy. I have moved them to a north facing covered porch to acclimate more slowly before introducing to more sun.

My string of bananas hasn’t been growing for a while, and it’s mostly just stems. I’m not great with succulents, but I rescued it about a year ago from Lowe’s. Many of the “bananas” has dried up and fallen but the stems are still nice and green. I decided to check on the roots and there’s not many. Is the stalk near the roots typically brown? Or has it slowly been drying out? All them individual stems looked similar to this. I feel like there should be more roots? Any tips/advice?

Just got this cutie today but I can’t remember what type of succulent she is can anyone help?

I bought this Bishops Cap (astrophytum myriostigma) today. When I got it, the flower bud was closed up fairly tight, similar to the google pic, I left it in the car for a couple of hours with the windows cracked, but about 77° in MO. I came back and the flower popped out!! Then after being home for a while, it’s closed back up. I’m trying for find info on this behavior but not having much luck.

I recently got my 30 year old jade plant repotted, and the man who repotted it for me cut some of the leaves for me to make props out of. They’re currently in a small pot with drainage (as seen below) Any tips on propagating jade plants? I’ve tried before, but have had no luck with jades while what I usually do to propagate works just fine my other succulents. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Got four new babies today!!! The jade plant and the air plant are both from my local farmers market, and the other two are from tractor supply! I just repotted the jade and will be repotting the other two shortly but I have them in their pots they came in with drainage holes inside of a larger pot so they should be good!! I just gave them all a big drink and I’m so excited to have them in my little (not so little anymore) plant family now!!!

Not sure what to do with these guys. Anytime I get a leaf I put it there so there’s a variety. I also chopped the tops off some because they were etiolated. It’s under a grow light because I don’t have adequate sun anymore. The grow light is on the highest setting and I move it closer and closer, so not sure if it’s too close or what. It originated as a salvage from Walmart. Obviously I’m not the best with succulents. Please help 😁

Help w/boobie cactus. Can anyone tell me what’s going on here? The cactus was moved gradually from inside to outside and I noticed a change in color in the upper part of the cactus. I water it when the soil is completely dry and move into the sun maybe once or twice a week but it’s on my porch with minimal sun hitting it majority of the time.

Hey plant fam Epson salt works wonders as a fertilizer for succulents during the growing season And for my new succulent owners if your plant looks healthy but the leaves are just falling off your succulent is just trying to multiply!! 😊

Here’s some pro tips 1:Don’t water your succulents or cactuses with a spray bottle or mist is will cause root rot in your plant. 2:only feed cactuses with a low-nitrogen fertilizer 3:earthworms are the best natural fertilizer for succulents 4:succulents like crushed eggshells 5:miracle grow can be too strong for your plant if used incorrectly Please be taking care of your plant properly!!! And look at the comment section please and thank you! 🙏

Woke up to find this little pleated inkcap mushroom had joined my echeveria. This plant has just recently been moved to the front porch but is still fairly sheltered from the elements. Should I be concerned?

I had my plant since February and now she is losing leaves like its rotting and falling off. And the soil smells bad. The other leaf part looks ok. What can I do to save her? Think I probably over fed my plant. When I downloaded this app I just learned how often to feed her.
