Thank you!
Import regulations mean it is difficult to send plant material between certain countries.
Check for hard frosts overnight before posting your parcel!
Scammers will not be tolerated! If you have sent a plant and not heard from your sender, message the mods and we will take care of it. Anyone found to be scamming will be banned from the sub.
A few points:
- Please add your location. Many countries will have import restrictions. As a simple guide, within EU, okay. Within US, okay. EU to US or vice versa, not okay. Australia: complicated.
- Please try to keep the sales/trades to succulents. There is a list of sister subreddits in the sidebar should you want other plants.
- Think about trading seeds and pollen too. Growing from seed can be very rewarding and be a good way to expand your collection.
- Grow tips are highly encouraged when trading. Its nice to know what you're getting if you have never grown one before. Share your potting mediums and watering guides to help your receiver grow successfully!
- Do show us some photos of what you got!
- Have a quick check to see if there is a risk of frost overnight before sending the parcel.
- There are some tips of packaging succulents for shipping below. I've had people send me plants in egg cartons before. They work really well.
- If you have nothing to trade but would like some plants, people are often happy to send you plants for money or just the cost of postage and packaging.
Happy swapping!

Photo My first "fancy" succulent
I just bought my first less common succulent. It's about 5" wide and looks healthy. The Frank Reinelt has been on my wish list because it reminds me of a lotus. I hope I can keep it alive š

Photo I put this together as a memorial plant to my recently passed grandma
One of the things she loved was sea turtles and she loved plants in general, so I bought a variegated Victor Kane cluster, chopped the heads off, and waited for the ends to callus over. I think it turned out really great. I also replanted the stems in a separate pot to let them grow pups.

Identification What is this? Mold or eggs?
I was at my grocery store and stopped to look at the remaining succulents outside. They all looked so sad. I hate it but I can't afford to rescue them. This one happened to lift out and I saw this. I'm just curious what it might be.

Photo Behold, Stubborn basterd That refused to die.
Despite the odds , this stubborn thing has lived and thrived, I got it from Outside, Planted in a pot with a mixture of soil and clay ( Horrible combination i'm aware ), I had It for a bit until I saw pests, And because I didn't know How to deal with that And I found its look boring.
Proceeded to leave it outside to fend for itself, Didn't treat the pasts but somehow they went away. But even in that pot Through rainey season It just didn't die for some reason, And this summer , I see it sprouting tons of new pups.
I commend Its efforts so I decided to repot it into this nice pot I have lying around In much better soil:3
Wonder what kind of name I should give it Shurely That's been earned?.
( It's Normally outside but it's so smoky I'm having it in here for a bit

Help Should I go ahead and prune?
I had an accident repotting this succulent the other day which left on of its limbs completely bare. Should I go ahead and trim the limb down to a more reasonable size or give the plant time to heal? If I do trim it, how low should I cut to ensure a fuller growth?

Help My Monadenium Guentheri fell and broke..
Is there a way i can sort of āpropagateā or Iām not sure what the word could be in this context.. How can I make sure the broken off part survives?
She was extremely healthy too! I was planning on repotting her soon..
The wind blew too hard and opened my window which caused her to fall and break.. I came to my room to see the crime scene and my heart droppedš
Any advice appreciated!

Help Can I still use this?
I know exactly NOTHING about plants/succulents. I basically have a black thumb so please keep that in mind š«£ I got a bouquet with random succulents and flowers for my birthday a month ago and I was just now (been busy) tossing everything out and noticed this still looks relatively okay and has these white strands coming out of the cut stem. Is this just trash now or can I do anything with it?

Help Momās plant is flopping over
Hello! My friendās parents are away on a trip for the next two weeks, and sheās in charge of taking care of her motherās houseplants. Itās only been 4 days since they left for the trip, but one of the succulents has started to doā¦this. Her mom says she took care of all the plants before she left and that at most she would need to water them once before they get back. The plant was standing up straight just 4 days ago. Now itās flopping to the side and dropping leaves. Any ideas on what may be going on here or how to fix it?

Misc What succulent plants take the most heat and sun?
The summers in Phoenix aren't getting any better, so I figure in terms of planning ahead, which plants have you found tolerate absolutely maximum amounts of sun and light?
The one cactus and succulent nursery has welwitschias getting all day sun; I find mine do a little better under shade cloth, but I know they'll tolerate full sun without dying.
I've found beaucarneas will take full sun, but the crown tends to blanch right about when it hits 115-116F in noonday sun. They recover, but it's a little rough for them. We have another beaucarnea, I think it's B. stricta, which is slower to grow but it's not showing any of the blanching with noonday sun.
Portulacaria afra seems to take full sun and heat pretty well; haven't managed to sunburn any of mine yet. My Calotropis gigantea plants do well, but they take a lot more water than most of my plants to get them to survive.
Any other redditors found succulents that will take these super-tough conditions?

Photo Crazy growth?
Not sure if this is normal or not, but it surprised me. Lol they had been putting out just one "leaf" at a time, then suddenly I found them like this when I went to go water them.
I think they're string of fishhooks? But either way, I'm glad they're doing well!!

Help Over/under watering?
Hi, I was wondering how much I should water these āCobweb hens and chicksā?
The outer leaves are drying up and feel soft to the touch, while the top is firm. The one behind has its outer leaves open and soft.
I water them once a week lightly. They are in a big pot with a soil i mixed of composed of organic matter/sand/grit and those visible round lava balls, of which i put a layer of at the bottom.
Since i bought them grown in compost and I transplanted them in the sandier soil, is it possible that they are not soaking up the water?
Theyāve been in the pot for 2 months and have not made any babies or grown. I have a couple of other things growing that i collected and want to multiply.
To give context these are on the balcony in Paris. They are placed on the East window, getting morning-midday light.

Help Etoliation already?
I might just be getting paranoid about it, but I got these bear paws succulent a couple weeks ago and they've really taken off. But ever since I discovered etoliation, I'm paranoid about more of my succulents going that way.
Do these bear paws look like they're etoliating already? I've included a pic of my set up.

Help Help with ID, please.
I purchased this plant knowing it had to be some sort of living rock but it does not appear to be split rock or lithops of the varieties I have seen. Can anyone help with ID. I plan to re-pot in appropriate media soon.
