Any suggestions on what to do with these guys? I grouped them together because they’re showing similar issues. The bottom leaves are shriveling up and dropping off. The big one is a cotyledon, the two smaller are kolanchoes, and the last one is a molekenisis (I think). I’m not normally a great succulent owner, so I’ve been following planta’s advice. Most of my other succulents are doing fine, but these ones are struggling. Any help appreciated!
I’m going to go research best way to pot up 5 starter Schlumbergera plants 😬 I just gently placed them all together in this succulent pot 6” shallow exterior glazed clay pot with drainage. Now I’m afraid that probably won’t work because it is 5 plants & they get really big. I didn’t get any tags & it was growers choice but all holiday cactus 🌵 🎄 Wish me luck 🍀 😁 I really need to stay off Etsy for a while 😎
My Optunia microdasys rufida cactus is doing great. It gets east sun and is directly by the window. I had some pieces that broke off whole when I was moving the pot to water it. I decided to let them callous and stick them into new pots in cactus (fast drying) soil. From this point I’m a bit lost. I don’t know if I should pull them up and check for root growth or ignore them? It’s hard to keep them in upright position, anchored in dirt with this type of cactus until they are established. How long and how often should I water the new starts? I don’t want them to rot, but I don’t want to kill them. Should I fertilize in the Spring and with what? Lots of questions. The main plant is doing great, but I’m not as confident about getting the propagations going strong. Thank you in advance!
I’ve finally grasped the secret to growing these succulents. Ignore! lol
Can anybody help me ID what type of Echeveria these are?
My adorable Cactus, Nemo!
Orbea starfish flowered for the first time for me. Smells like rotting meat if you put your nose up to it. Made me feel queasy for a minute 🤢
Hi y’all! Does anyone know what this little white spot is on my Panda Plant? Iirc it showed up a while after I had gotten a little water on him but it’s starting to eat away his leaf a little so I’m kinda worried. How do I get rid of it?
I’m so happy with the growth of my string of pearls. It started out in this tiny teacup at a flower shop and now it’s thriving in its coffee mug. Once spring hits I’m going to transfer it over to a bigger pot with proper drainage. ❤️
Benny was doing great after I rescued him. But then he got fungus gnats and I think I waited too long to treat them (I had some personal stuff going on atm) and now half of him is mushy and deflated. Is he doomed at this point or can I still save him?? 😩😩 Sidenote since getting into plants it seems every succulent/cactus I get seems to not like me. I haven’t had great luck with them surprisingly, I do much better with foliage plants it seems! What kind of backwards logic is that?? 🤪🥲
Hi this is my first string of plant and I’m very nervous. I got it a month and a half ago now. She started out very long but then some of her bananas started turning black and dried. This keeps happening. I keep cutting it back. I’ve upped my water and hasn’t helped, and just yesterday moved it to a new spot with hopefully a little more light (East to West window). I don’t know what else to do and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong :( can someone please help me?
Hey all, just cant be sure which cactuses I’ve got here, can anybody help me identify them! Cactus One Planta tells me is a “Tree Cactus”, Cactus Two I think is a “Silver Torch Cactus” but am not sure and Cactus Three I think is either a baby “Old Man Cactus” or an “Old Man of the Andes”. Thanks in Advance. X
“The roots of this species will fill up the pot”’is the only phrase I remember about this one. It did this year, and it was looking very confused. Old photo shows the propagations I toyed with before I had to move. Smashed up shale courtesy of a day of trilobite hunting in Delta, Utah (circa 2018). At the end of the dig, the owner told me take as much shale as I want. I didn’t have plants at the time, so I “only” took around 30 pounds for no good reason than decorating the yard. After a few years, most of the pieces froze/cooked/split into thin layers and revealed fossils. A guy painting my house had to remind me, “You know you have trilobites in your yard?”
Would you all just cut these off now that the flowers are dry and it’s not making more flowers? Anything to do with the flowers/pollen? Thanks!
Are Lichen considered a succulent?🤔 Just cleaned up my garden today and brought in the plants for winter. I didn’t forget the lichens I found after a big storm back in June. They got a prime spot on my porch next to the screen. Lol
My once beautiful variegated jade is not soft and limp and dropping leaves. Nothing has changed with the watering and just a bit less light due to the season changing. Could this be some sort of infection or powdery mildew? I’ve brought this plant back from powdery mildew once over a year ago and it had been thriving until a few weeks ago.
I have two things. 1. I’m in Florida. Should I take the same winter care steps as other states? I feel like it’s a stupid question, but I have some seeds sprouting. 2. Just repotted these guys. Are the pots too big or no?
I have about 8 kalanchoe, all different colors. If I pot them in one huge pot, will they keep their original colors? My peonies outside all blended which is why I’m asking.
can you believe my haworthia started from ONE ?! now it has had over 10 babies!! so proud of this plant :))
I was given this plant recently by a friend and it seems like it’s in bad shape. Anyone know what it is and how to propagate it?
