Serious question are you supposed to remove the pups from your cactus? It is so tedious and I accidentally leave wounds, but if I leave them it gets completely overtaken.

Say this one fast: Tephrocactus articulatus papyracanthus. I ran an errand and thought I might peep in on some more "flowery" succulents (i.e. a big Echeveria type) that don't need the afternoon sun to thrive. The boutique plants find me. Like, really. I typed “nurseries” into Maps to figure out my new neighborhood, and the plant spirits guided me haha. I hadn’t seen this species at Home Depot (I’m not there every morning, but I regularly check in), and it was shoved way under the shelf. It could use some light and nutrients, and it needs to work on growing another neck. Note that this guy is three times the size of the other specimen in my collection. When deciding which of the 50 versions of “well draining soil” to use on succulents, I usually glance over where it lives (Western Argentina in this case). “It is easy to grow but usually couldn’t get very tall as segment kept falling apart” and “is very easy to grow by just knocking off one of the 'cones' and stuffing it in the ground” sounds like a no-brainer. Looking at the underground root system (this is a mature plant), I’m safe in assuming it prefers to get busy above ground 😀 (I used a mix of yellow bag soil, pumice and clay balls. Nothing complicated.) This species is one of my favorites because it always looks frozen in a chaotic moment.

I have a cactus and she was growing mold so I moved her to a different pot and removed the dead one and she looks so much better!

I got this SUPER leggy sedum sunsparkler hybrid from Walmart a week or 2 ago. Now that there’s a ton of new growth should I prune/trim it back? She definitely looks happier now, but I think it could be growing fuller 🙃

Hey guys:)) do we know what kind of plant this is on the left? Just got her yesterday in China town:) assuming it’s some kind of succulent? Not sure I’m a new plant mom 😭 I think the second picture is a type of aloe but they look a little bit similar so was curious if maybe the first photo may be in the same area( the leaf pattern is completely different haha)

Is this aloe looking overwatered? I only water it about every 2-3 weeks. As far as growth it’s been doing great growing well but I noticed the bottom leaves were drying up with time and just today saw that the stem wasn’t in very good condition.

Hi there! I brought this guy home the other day. From a big box store. He was root bound and the soil was soaked. Repotted him up 2” into a gorgeous pot. It’s more bowl shaped though. Will he keep his upright look? Also, since he was soaked, I used new dry succulent soil. Should I skip watering after his repotting?

Anyone have any idea why my African Milk Plant has grown skinny and then got thicker again? Thanks in advance!

Such a cool cacti, and he’s growing another, little arm … 🌵

And last but not least Madagascar Palm

Lace Aloe

Does anyone know what happened to my agave and how to fix that? 🥹 Thank you!

Does anyone know what this guy is? I’ve tried google, and all the plant identification apps, and nothing similar even comes up 😂

Hey all! I got these 2 succulents a while back but they weren’t labeled for what kind of succulents. Anyone know what they are? And does anyone have tips for taking care of them? Since getting them, they have just been dropping all their leaves. I don’t think I’ve been over or under watering, so I’m not sure what the problem could be.

I posted about this Echeveria about a month ago bc of a growth I was uncertain of. I now know it’s definitely flowering! I’ll post again when it officially opens. Anyone else see little hints of pinkish-orange?! 👀

does my succulent seem to appear a bit leggy ?? shes lost a few leaves before which might be the reason she appears not as full, either way i’m hoping she’s not stretching
