Was checking on all my overwintering cacti in my pop-up greenhouse today and was thrilled to see my Mammillaria bombycina (?) giving me two new pups! I've had this guy for 8 maybe 9 years now. Got him when he was just one small cactus about 3 inches big. Looks like I should repot him and do a little substrate refresh.

This cutie was given to me by my sister in law, any help on what she is and how to pot her . Thank you
Grammy
Any advice on what she could use and need? And if she is a Christmas or thanksgiving cactus? Thank you for any help.

Heartbroken rn, just got this gorgeous dinosaur back cactus, but when I brought it home I’m now seeing a couple orange spots! Does this look like rust to you guys too? 😭

Hey Y’all! I have a baby aloe, I have put into a styrofoam cup to give it a drainage hole. Since I have moved her to a styrofoam cup she has grown and turned Green! But I haven’t water her in 6 days and the soil is super dry and I’m keeping her and my other 2 Aloes in the house for the cold season. I normally water my 2 Adult Aloes about every 20 days. But should I be watering the baby more frequently?

My Frithia pulchra has been in bloom since Thanksgiving. I didn't know the blooms lasted this long. It is such a treat to see everyday. It opens it's flower daily when the sun hits it and closes it when it's evening and night. The flower has also expanded a bunch and gotten bigger over time.

Some of these are recently propagated and the miniature cacti are fairly new. Planning to pick-up a new cactus later today, any recommendations that would complement this variety?

hello. is this kalanchoe asking for more space? there at so many of these air roots, I'm not sure why?
but it does look as though she's about to bloom, I'm assuming it's trying to stabilize itself?
thank you in advance for any tips!

Watered my plant just before Christmas and it was green and healthy, but just noticed it today and it’s yellow, shrivelled up and bits broken off. Have given it some water and just wondering if someone knows if it will be ok or not. Thanks.

I was supposed to water this plant tomorrow but as I walked by it looked like it had shrunk. I watered it. Do you think it will die or will it come back?

Hey Y’all! I brought my Aloes inside but I don’t have a window to keep them at, how can I give them sunlight?

Hi , how often is everyone watering their succulents and is it different fot cacti?
MummaDeb
Is it common for those top "leaves" to dry up and fall off? Seems it's always happening. I water when Planta tells me to and only when the soil is dry.

I can’t grow succulents. I don’t own succulents, but, they live in my yard. 😄 I have a history of killing them with love! I do too much and overthink it because I don’t want to be a serial succulent killer. So, I threw the last 3 Kalanchoe Laxiflora leaves into an old pot with some old dirt in it. And they are thriving…on the north side of my house without my intervention! They are spreading, multiplying and just bloomed at Christmas because it’s 80°F in South Texas. 🪴🍀🔥🥵
