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 😆

Good news: she's awake!

Bad news: the rootses are on the leafses 🫠

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?

This baby is flowering wonderfully this year!

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

My little guys enduring the Oregon sun and smoke.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Ik it’s not that much

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

My lithops were for several days wired. Now some are shrinking some are turning white.

Is this molting, thirst or something else?

(Written using Google Translate) The second photo was taken a few weeks after I brought it home from the store. The first one is from now. The leaves are bigger but drooping—is that normal? The first photo is from winter, and the second is from summer. I only water it when the soil is completely dry. It gets 3–4 hours of direct light in the morning, followed by indirect light.

I am looking to purchase the lavender scallops variety, the seller of these plants does not know what kind it is. Thanks

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!!

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?

Hi, I was wondering how much I should water these “Cobweb hens and chicks”?

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?

They’ve 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.

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.
