I haven't purchased plants online in years but Amazon had these for only $21 and I had just gotten a whole bunch of antique tea cups and saucers that they would be perfect for. Hope I don't get too many doubles. But since it was such a good deal I thought someone else might be interested.

I bought this succulent garden from Trader Joe’s and there is no info on what any of the plants are! Can I get some help identifying these? If you have a succulent garden like this, how do you have it listed in Planta? Also, the planter doesn’t have any drainage, so is my best bet to repot all of them? They all seem like they’re pretty well-hydrated at the moment, none of the leaves are squishy or wrinkled.

Hi! I have this cactus that my grandma gave me a few months ago and a lot of the new growth is tipping over. Should I make cuttings and propagate? Where do I cut? Note: i have been keeping it a bit too far from the window so maybe it’s a sunlight issue?

Hey guys, I think I might’ve killed my Opalina😢 she just keeps dropping leaves like no tomorrow; they’re shrivelling up and just falling off🫣 She now has no lower leaves… what do I do from here? She’s struggling to support her own weight now, could I repot and plant the stem a bit deeper so she can stand upright? Or should I snip her below the surviving leaves and try to propagate the upper half? I’ve no idea how to revive her now:(( I think it was low light that’s hurt her so much - I’ve moved to her a much brighter spot today. (On the plus side, I propagated a couple of her leaves a while ago and that’s growing nicely so if all fails and she dies, at least I have her baby to raise!)

Today I discovered some baby mushrooms in my dragons tail. The plant is doing really good (especially considering I neglected it for a few months), but I wanna know if this is bad and if I need to repot it. Any tips/advice is appreciated!

Anyone know how much light my blue columnar cactus should be getting? I have it pretty much right beneath my window but my curtain is blocking most of the light from reaching the shelf the cactus is on.

Anyone a Fun Fungus Friend here? You can zoom in on the two pads that I have a question about, which I just noticed today. I have what seems to be a rust gold fungus, I’m presuming, on the underside of these two pads. Any experts? (Yes there is some on the other side of these two pads. Just a smaller amount.

I've had this thanksgiving cactus for about 3 years and it's never bloomed. I recently in the last month or so decided to put it under a grow light to see if it would do better cause I don't have much natural light in my house. I also decided to repot and give fresh soil. Now I'm thinking my pot is too big...should I get a different pot? When I took the cactus out of its original pot, the soil was soaked...lots of fibrous roots around the edges. I also used miracle grow cactus potting soil and added some perlite. Is this okay, is my pot too big? I literally just repotted yesterday and am having second thoughts about how I did this.

The Succulent Squad is struggling so bad. The left is how they looked a few weeks ago. The right is today. I’ve lost the smallest two. And now the one in the back at the top of the second photo is struggling hard. Any advice?

Can anyone tell me if this kind of cactus is able to be propagated? I tried googling it but only found tutorials on propagating the arms or pups of cacti. Would I be able to cut the top off and propagate that? It’s getting pretty big and top heavy.

I have these 2 succulents, one is a panda and the other one I don’t know its name. They both have been growing up and up but not too full, or bigger leaves. Do you know what should I do to make them fuller so they don’t look too skinny? Thanks!

Hi guys! Any experts wanna help me understand these beauty’s? Here’s my Copperhead Sedum,.. I understand from the name that they’re usually copper around the edges; also confirmed by the fact that when I first got her she was rather red (but also very etiolated as shown in the second pic). So my question really is; why has she lost all her copper? Just fully green now? Is it lack of sun? Too much sun? She’s on a south facing window and has been thriving ever since I got her with fast new growth recently too! So she’s doing okay, I’m just confused on why she’s lost her pretty colouring? Thanks in advance:)

Hello! New to my succulent/cactus obsession lol. Got this monkey tail a few days ago and unfortunately it got badly sunburned. The one on the right looks like it might spell the doom for that tail. Not sure if I'm looking for advice, just venting on the fact that my poor baby is looking so bad haha

Good morning or evening wherever you are located! Sooooo I’ve accidentally killed two of these babies one that was thriving really well for nearly two years and then died w my move and another that I only had for a few months and quickly died. I’m trying my best to keep this one ALIVE! Please give me the best tips and tricks! I have it outside in my sunroom currently w my other succulents as that’s a recommended area but I just don’t wanna destroy another one of these babies…..

What is this on the leaves of the echeverias I just got? Disease or normal?
