Hello everyone! I just received a bunch of succulent cuttings that I’d love to grow, but I have no clue what they are 😂 I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the species and provide propagation tips? I was thinking the first picture might be some sort of pencil cactus, and that the middle two may just be variegated jade plants. Thank you so much 🤍

Hi! I was given a Christmas Cactus a few month ago and recently grew it to be big enough to get a new pot! It’s been growing but now I have this other leafy green plant in the pot and I can’t tell if it’s a weed or something else altogether. Any ideas?

PSA: if you're a dumb and don't put gloves on when repotting a cactus..... duct tape, really helps get those quills out 😆😰😢

Is this pup ready to be separated? And how would I do it properly without hurting the pup or the mother plant? I’m new to this lol any advice is appreciated!

I know the African Milk Tree isn’t technically a cactus, but i’m hoping to still get some help here. I got this on sale and Greg (the website) told me low humidity and low water need. So I thought “great! maybe I can keep a cactus alive” Now I’m overthinking. When I got him his soil was bone dry, I kept him in relatively the same soil after I checked on the roots and repotted. I think it’s some kind of seed starter mix but I’m not totally sure. He is under a grow light with moderate intensity for 12 hours a day now. Basically what I’m asking is should I water him?? And any other tips are appreciated! I’m so paranoid when it comes to cacti and succulents because I always think they need water when I know they hold it within themselves.

Does anyone know the cause of these brown spots on the echeveria? I noticed this at Trader Joe’s last night. I’ve been wanting a black prince echeveria, and I couldn’t resist taking it home. Haha!

Some of my succulents have turned purple? Is that bad? What do I need to do to help them turn green? They’re all sitting in my windowsill. Thank you for any advice!

Hi! I just got my first plant yesterday. It’s an aloe Vera, and I know absolutely nothing about plants. It seems droopy compared to pictures I’ve seen of other aloe Veras and there a leaf (not sure if that’s the right word for an aloe Vera arm 😂) at the bottom that looks brownish. Some help and guidance would be appreciated😊 I read a grow light should be on for 14 hours a day, so that has been started today. Thank you🙏🏼

This is Fiery Bill... I thought he'd stay in cute little hedgehog-like ball form... But he is growing arms up the ying yang! Curious how this plant is going to evolve over time....
