Update and question two weeks ago away where the top of my string of hearts was very sparse and balding, and the little balls were coming out of the dirt. I got some advice from you all took it apart and rinsed it with peroxide. I’m trying to propagate in water, but I see a little film forming around the balls. Do I need to let that grow or should I wash it off and how often should I change the water? Thank you in advance, plant heads🤍🪴

Hi, does anyone know where I can go to find more plants at this time of year in Liverpool New York or near? Because I have my aloe plant but I want to get more but don’t know where to look? I’m a first time plant owner so I’m still new with all of this.

My aloe is looking a little grey. Is this normal?

I’m new to having plants and was told succulents were a good first start. I saw this group of succulents and thought it was so pretty and had to have it. I got it around Christmas time and so far it’s been good. I just want to know any tips or advice from people who know more than me because I want them to thrive. I have not repotted them and was told by the store employee I wouldn’t need to but I’m wondering if I should repot at least one of them?
Idrk I need help and would love advice or suggestions.
Caretaking: I have them hanging above my sink in my kitchen by the window. I water them every 3-4 days depending on if the soil is wet (I put my finger in the soil about first knuckle deep) they get about 5/6hrs of direct sunlight because of where the window is in the house. Other than that I don’t know if there’s more I should know/do.
Thank you in advance.

I had an idea. Here it is haha. Five types of Euphorbia (all clipped from my plants) in what looks like a Thunderdome situation.
Depending on the source, the debate of filtered vs direct light for various Euphorbia differs. I’m going to figure that out.

Hi, I have this cactus that had rot and I removed it and now I’m wondering if it’s looking good or not. Also is that a flower coming?

Does anyone knows why my Euphorbia obessa is looking like this? I know she is needing a new pot, but I am getting ready to move and I don’t want to do this until I am settle and have her new happy spot. But I am not sure why she is like this.

Help!
Plant newb here 👋🏻 I’ve had this cactus for about 2.5 years. After a year I finally figured out how to properly water cactuses and he was doing so well that he needed a bigger pot (there was originally 2 but then he grew 2 babies)… well that’s when the issues started. Mistakes were made in this process and I caused root rot with improper soil/drainage. (This was done in the fall)
After figuring this out and losing one of the babies 😭… I cleaned up the rot, repotted him in proper soil etc.. (I did this 15 days ago) he seemed to be doing much better again. Had regained some colour.
Well… now I’ve noticed the smallest one has a huge black spot on the back.. anyone know what to do?… is this a sign that he’s healing from the rot…? Or that I didn’t do well enough cleaning it off and he’s still rotting?? I misted the soil a few days after cleaning him up but otherwise have not watered him at all since. (The new soil was dry) *last photo is from the day I cleaned him up

This is my aloe plant today 1/10/24. I have to get a pot that has wholes in it but other than that I’m not sure if it’s growing healthy or if there’s anything I can do to help it grow healthy if it’s not. Does anyone have tips on how I can’t make it look better if it needs it?

Hi everyone. Is someone able to identify this plant? Planta says it’s a variety of Stonecrop but I’m not certain about that…thanks in advance!!

Is this an ideal setup?

I need your help I bought myself a Birthday Present 🤭 I purchased a String of Hearts at an online website and this is what I got personally I don’t like the appearance and well it’s in a 2” pot terracotta. What can I do to make it look healthier. It looks a mess as if they ran out of plants and practically tie it together. And it’s not the case for the other plant I purchased. N’Joy Pothos

Succulent question for all you from the Midwest…
I’m from MN & been reading different succulent blogs. People mention placing indoor succulents outside in the summer. Has anyone done this?
I’m a little scared to do this because of bringing bugs back into the house in the fall when it becomes too cold outside.
I’m tempted to leave well enough alone and keep my plants indoors near windows year round.
Thanks for your thoughts & perspectives! ☺️
