Hi loves! Just got this first succulent and am having a hard time identifying it. It says it’s a moonstone but I have another one just like it that looks more like the picture of a moonstone (second picture) and they are definitely different plants

This is the one I am most worried about killing. Misting cactus - which it needs, especially in my arid region - makes me nervous. Uebelmannia pectinifera

I just bought three types of seeds: cactuses, lythops, and succulents. I really don’t have much experience with growing anything from seed, and on top of that I’m just a beginner when it comes to these types of plants. Does anyone have any pointers for me about the type of potting mix to use, light, water, etc.? The instructions on the packets are just to “plant them and wait two weeks.” 🤔 I’d really appreciate some help! Thanks ahead of time! 💚

Someone I know took a trip to Laguna Beach and decided to share some spots with me. Ignore my reactions, which are either fake or troubling lol

Hi yall!! Does anyone know how to get Aloe Vera plants to grow faster? I have two and they are beautiful but we use the leaves quite often for kitchen burns and skincare- it would be nice if I could get them to grow more energetically so we could have more to harvest, without hurting our plants!! More fertilizer, perhaps? They are under a grow light in my room and I follow Plantas watering schedule with no problems. Would they grow faster if I put them outside? We are zone 8b and it is well past the last frost, but we are also in the humid Southeast. Thoughts?

I got this a while back but I can’t remember for the life of me what it is. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I have this plant I got from Lowe’s a while ago, but I have no idea what it is. I thought it might be a zebra plant, as the leaves are shaped the same way. But it doesn’t have distinct markings, just subtle grey ones. The leaves are cylinder-ish and spiky on the ends. Let me know what you think it is, thanks! (Don’t mind the cut parts my cat bit it)

My aloe appears to be dying I had it in full sun and it went from a bright green to a dusty green so I placed it in partial shade

Can anyone help me with this? No name on the pot but I’ve gotten string of pearls(which I know it’s not) and jade as possibles. It may be a variety of jade but no clue.

Just got this new burrows tail 12 days ago. Any care tips or tips for when to repot?

I got two of these teensy cactuses (cacti?🤔) terrariums yesterday. They’re about 1.5 inches tall at the top of the dome. They came with no information other than that they don’t need any care for three months, but I’m skeptical. I’m also clueless about cactuses because I’ve never had any before. There’s a little bit of grit at the bottom and some air holes, and I think you can unscrew the dome. I’d love to get some advice from folks who know about these prickly little guys! Thanks ahead of time! 💚

Could anyone help me identify this cactus? I took a guess based on appearance but I’d like to be correct for proper care. A Walmart cactus with no name tag😅

It’s crazy to think how long I’ve had the snake plant. So much new growth and it’s absolutely thriving!

I’m not very good at plants (yet) but this one seems to be thriving! Anyone knows how often they should be repotted?

Can someone help identify this Jade variation.

Help. Whenever I water my aloe plant a little bit it’s leaves get all mushy. It looks very thirsty though. This is exactly why I am not a fan of succulents. 🫥 Also I planted some jade plants and they are shriveling up.

This is my third time! Found them on the clearance shelf. With some newly acquired knowledge I hope I will finally be able to keep them alive 🙏 Should I repot them now? I dont like the look of that soil… Wish me luck!
