Hi—this isn’t a succulent post per se, but I didn’t know where else to ask this: my money trees leaves are looking very dry. I recently got a grow light for it and was wondering if this is leaf burn? I know it’s supposed to be part sun/part shade, and am worried that my lighting setup is wrong for this plant(image included). It’s a SANSI full spectrum 10W clip light (i don’t remember the light temp). I’ve seen some people suggest that to not get full “sun” exposure you can point the light at another surface and have the light reflect; I would probably do this with my ceiling but I feel like it’s too dim—can I get some advice?

These bright red dots appeared on my grafted night blooming cereus. Anyone know what they are? The head of it also looks weird. I don't know if it's pollen like dandelions or something like that. (On the head)

I bought a Solar Flare Aloe in October or November but there was an unexpected cold snap and it froze in shipping. For a while I thought it would pull through but it didn’t. It kept looking worse and worse but in true survival mode, it started pushing out a bunch of teeny pups. I was trying to let them grow bigger before separating them but the mama started to rot and I was afraid it would spread. So I pulled out all the teeny tiny babies (no roots in sight), let them callous over and have planted them. I put a few in each pot because they are so tiny. I hope they will survive in here - I didn’t have smaller pots. I’ll have to be very mindful of watering. Fingers crossed!

Do all succulents enjoy Epsom salt monthly year-round? I used to do it back in the day and they loved it, but is it all of them or do I need to Google them individually 🌵🤔🧡

I’m thinking of getting a Echeveria as my first serious attempt at keeping plants. Is there anything I should know before? Specific health issues to worry about, good fertilizers or soils to use?

Beginner to Cacti and plants in general. And am wondering what a good beginner cactus/succulent would be. I had a moon cactus and it died almost immediately due to lack of water.

Ok, so I was super excited that my hedgehog possibly made it through the winter. Now I’ve found the bottom is quite soft. Ignore and hope for the best or cut the top off and wait for it to callous and replant? I’m so sad :(

Does anyone know what causes the spots at the base? I don’t know how to identify possible different issues.

Hi Im new and I was wondering whats the best cacti and succulent soil to buy? I struggle with root rot a lot and Im starting to think its my soil because some plants are fine but others arent so lucky and Im tired of killing them. I use the miracle gro cacti and succulent soil. Some of my succulents thrive in it but others dont.

Hi!!! I’m a bad plant mom. Already forgot what the heck I bought! Can anybody help me identify this so I can get them planted and watered properly?! Thank you!

I think it’s so funny how one strand of turtles is 3 times longer than the rest

I posted some different photos a few weeks ago and people seemed to think this was a flower and not a pup? I can’t find any good info on the internet. But I didn’t think the flowers grew like this?? Everyone still think it’s a flower? Or is it a pup that decided to grow from the top instead of underneath? Also if it’s a pup how should I remove it and when?

Hey folks, today I am finally reporting my succulents into one large container. Some of these have been in their nursery pot for 7/8 years 🙈😅 is there a way for me to put them all in the same pot on planta without loosing the historical updates I have done? In the first picture I have 2 echiveras, can anyone identify the different types? Picture 2- I can't work out if this is an aloe or a tiger plant? picture 3- idk what this is, but it is somehow growing a new plant even though it has been left in it's nursery pot for so long, very excited about this one picture 4- I left this one in a dark room for about 3-4 years 😅 gonna propagate the end to try and get it healthy again, can anyone identify the plant type?

I took your advice and laid out some pieces of my succulent on top of some sand, and put it in the windowsill to get some sun. It’s been a couple of weeks, and the second picture is what it looks like now. What happens next? TIA!

My cactus has been helped! Lol The fake flower that was hot glued on has been removed. Sadly, my cactus didn’t come out unscathed- when I got the flower glue to loosen enough, it ripped out a few spines along with it, plus some small bits of glue are still wedged in there, but this will probably come off with time. Stores really need to stop doing this. Cacti already have beautiful flowers, there’s no need to falsely advertise something that’s already amazing. For anyone else who has this trouble: Get some rubbing alcohol and get it on the glue to dissolve it (turn your cactus towards the ground so the alcohol doesn’t get into the roots) Run it under some HOT water. Warm water didn’t work. Also try not to get the water into its roots Wiggle it around, if it doesn’t come off just yet, rinse and repeat until it does!

Help?? I bought this cute little guy, a Mammillaria haageana I believe, from Walmart about a week ago and have just learned that the purple bulb-like flower on top is fake! It’s hot glued on pretty well, but I want to remove it. I don’t really wanna stab myself though, or risk hurting my cactus by ripping off the flower. I’ve read that leaving it on isn’t a good idea because it can build up moisture, so it definitely needs to get removed. Any idea how?

I need help!! In trying to repot this beautiful guy I managed to snap the top off! 🥲 I did save the top and hope that it takes off but I’m worried about this guy. Will he be okay and recover? Should I do anything to help it along? It was doing so well and one of my favorites. I’m so sad!

Hello, everyone! I'm a gardening newb, but have become hooked very quickly. After adding my plants to his app, I've discovered they may not be receiving the proper light. Most specifically I worry about these cacti (meet Louis and Gregory). I was going to place a grow light strip on the underside of the top shelf, but that will only help the cactus on the bottom shelf. What do you recommend? This shelf is pretty well anchored into the wall, and I would like to keep it if at all possible. Thanks in advance!

I’m not sure that this is the right kind of gasteria, could someone suggest to me what is the right one? Thanks!
