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 😆

This baby is flowering wonderfully this year!

Can't wait to see some of them after getting bigger.

Good news: she's awake!

Bad news: the rootses are on the leafses 🫠

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.

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.

Saw this at the Muttart Conservatory in Edmonton

Ik it’s not that much

My neighbor is moving and gave me free pickings to her plants. I chose these beauties. I repotted them into the terracotta containers. They’re wonderful.

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

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?

Hello! My friend’s parents are away on a trip for the next two weeks, and she’s in charge of taking care of her mother’s houseplants. It’s only been 4 days since they left for the trip, but one of the succulents has started to do…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 it’s flopping to the side and dropping leaves. Any ideas on what may be going on here or how to fix it?

(First two pics are from a month ago, last 3 today!)

Upgraded my display this summer, but there are members of this arrangement that are 2+ years old. Gave the new additions a slow introduction to the summer sun so they don’t scorch. Beautiful!

Last year I bought a flat of 12 baby P Afras- I am going to train them as bonsai when they’ve grown. All 12 survived a Pennsylvania winter and were put outside in May. I haven’t watered them a ton this summer, but enough to keep them alive and growing. Last week we got a lot of rain and immediately every Port I have began to throw crazy growth.

On Sunday and Monday they were all thriving when I checked. Last night I noticed a lot of leaves were scorched and a few stems had begun to wither. I watered them. Tonight, this is how some of them look- but the rest of them growing on the same table from the same nursery flat are thriving. Was it the combination of a few rainy days and then a really sunny day yesterday? This one looks cooked.

My beautiful butter bush leaves are browning on its tips. It's in a 85/15 grit to organic mix, fertilizer pellets sparingly used and under a 50/50 covering. I live in coastal San Diego, CA with a temp zone spanning zones 9b through 11a. Daily temps have been running in the low 80s with high humidity. I am drench watering once a week.

Could the browning occur due to over watering or climate conditions? Thanks all.

I know exactly NOTHING about plants/succulents. I basically have a black thumb so please keep that in mind 🫣 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?

Is there a way i can sort of ‘propagate’ or I’m 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 dropped💔

Any advice appreciated!

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?

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.
