So, what am i doing wrong with my orchid, easter, and african milk tree euphorbias? I got cuttings about 6 months ago and they just don’t seem to be doing anything. I had them potted in cactus soil i spent a fortune for but only one seemed to be putting out new growth. My African milk tree was doing well until one morning i got up and the new growth (with leaves) had fallen off. Against my better judgement i decided to repot in a recommended home made mix of potting soil, perlite, sand, and coconut coir. I also moved them from the rack where i giving the ~12 hours grow light to a window with natural partial light. Main light is afternoon. Here is a couple of picks in case anyone has some ideas.

Just moved to Texas and these guys seem to be struggling! Unfortunately, 3 of our other plants have spider mites and I believe our cactuses are now sick as well. The temperature has been colder than we anticipated and our home doesn’t get a lot of direct sun - but we used to not get a lot of sun in our apartment either. Anyone else dealing with these issues? Any suggestions on what we should do to save them?

Anyone know why the tall succulent went so crazy and got so long it was touching the grow light? All plants circled in yellow are propagated from the same plant, first pic is how the tall one started. Is it cuz the tall one was from the stem so the grow lights activated some growth hormone or something? Should I reduce the brightness of the grow light? Or is the only option cutting it and propagating? I don't mind it being this tall if it would just chill and stop growing vertically so fast. The others are fairly compact which makes me thing they're getting enough light, so why is only the tall one etiolating so much?

I rescued this gal late last winter from a pizza shop that closed (literally asked the demolition guys if I could “just go save the plant” and they let me! 😂). Today she’s giving her first blooms. I’m so proud of her!

Meet my Old Man of the Andes Cactus, Orville. He was really pokey. I did repot him yesterday, it was a challenge lol.

Does anyone know anything about these bunny ear cacti? Every time I go near it without even touching the thorns I break out in a painful itchy rash. Poor thing only gets watered in the window because I won't go near it. I have at least 30 other cacti and have no problems with any of them. Ever heard of anything like that?

Question: I just picked up a Stapelia hirsuta, and I want to get it to bloom in the summer/fall. It’s relatively small right now, but is there anything I could do to improve its bloom chances? Any specific lighting/watering?
