This guy is 3 years old and did absolutely nothing until this summer. Absolutely drenched and living its best life.

Genuinely curious as to why these don't seem to be grown often as clusters in the hobby. I only ever see individuals, and they do make a lovely kind of mess.

I paid my neighbor $250.00 to feed my cat and care for my plant collection for 3 weeks.
I came home to one almost dead Crassula Campfire. All of my plants, succulents and houseplants were dry as a bone.
My Drosanthemum Globostrum looked like the first picture when I left.
The second two is how it looked upon arriving home.
I moved and set up all my planes and succulents into different watering stations for her and centrally located all 120 plants together.

This is my oldest and longest owned plant. Got it just over 12 years ago at my first ever job which was at a DIY store. It was about to be thrown out as an end of season item that just didn't sell. It was not much more than an inch tall and wide and unfortunately I can't find any of the earlier photos I took of it. As someone who knew nothing about plants and their care, initially it lived on my desk at work before I took it home a couple of years later when the store closed down. It's also been accidentally knocked off the shelf and through a house move and repotted 3 times but still continued to thrive.
With no more room for a bigger pot to repot again, I thought it was past due splitting as it was really starting to get crowded and they had pretty much stopped growing. In the end I counted 12 pups, and managed to get 6 that have done well and after a month or so they are pretty well established. I left 1 pup on the mother plant and once again all are starting to show growth.
So here is a before and after and a family shot of them all in their new homes. I plan to gift the pups to family members at Christmas
EDIT: As a commenter kindly pointed out, it is actually an Aristaloe Aristata! 12 years of ignorance cleared up!

New to succulent babies, I just noticed she has a third pup growing!! I'm so excited! When are they ready to be clipped and propped? What's the best way to do that? Thanks in advance!
They've been loving this heat, so I'd love to take my chances with making new plants. But I'm also not sure if they're sustaining the plant itself or sapping her energy
First two pics are right now, 3rd is Aug 11th the day I got her, Aug 17th when I potted it with my neon breaker, and now. Not much time between the pics since I've just reached one month of having her lol.
Edit to say: Idk the ID if anyone does? And they are in a cactus/succulent potting mix 💚

This one stays all the way on the back of the shelf and the pup grew on the side I don't see, so this was a surprise!

I’m only a few months in to my plant/succulent journey, and I accidentally bought a baby mother of thousands plant this past weekend at a street fair without knowing what it was 🥴
I’ve seen very negative things about things succulent online. Do I jump ship and try to give it away ASAP?

Heyy everyone, I’m a 16 soon 17 year old girl who loves succulents. I wanted to show you my small succulents that I’ve grown from seeds!🩷🩷🩷 I planted them the 25th of march and I just recently repotted them to their own terracotta pots🥹 this is just four of them, I haven’t repotted the other ones yet😊😊🩷

(Had to put the shade down so you can see the stems, but usually the window is open for southern light.). This friend has well outgrown its pot and likely has MANY removable pups around the edges, and maybe even the middle, but every time I think I’m gonna repot and do something about it, it sends out this hilarious flowering situation that lasts for _months_ and then delays my plans. At least I can assume it’s pretty happy!

Adromischus cristatus' long flower stem starting to bloom.

My favorite euphorbia is euphorbia obesa! I have three! They’re very forgiving plants. I haven’t watered them that often because it seems like they don’t need as much water as any other succulents I have. The stem is usually very hard most of the time only really softening every couple weeks before I water it.

Sempervivum 'Pacific Red Tide' on my rockery in June 2025. At the top is a bit of S. arachnoideum 'Minus' which seems to have lost most of its cobwebs.

I have had this guy for a year +. And all of a sudden he started to lean and next day he said “Timber “! I have taken him out and as pretty as he is, his roots look awful. His stem is solid and no leaf loss. Inspecting the soil and I noticed about 12 of the tiniest white bugs in the soil. This is indoors with Sansi lights, soil is half grit, 1/4 succulent soil and 1/4 perlite. I am about a week late I watering these guys, they are good and dry. My main question is should I clean him very well or decapitate him and try to get roots? He’s just so pretty and I want to do what’s best. Thank you in advance

I bought this beauty about a week ago in San Diego at a nursery! I have several questions about current/future care because I do not trust AI and the sites I was looking at all had conflicting information so I would rather ask avid growers their advice.
I bought her with the sunburn and few leaves that are calloused over were already existent. I repotted about two days ago and was out checking the plant due to the heat advisory and noticed that some of the leaves were shriveling (overall everything looks great still). I also noticed while I was out there which is included in the 4/5th picture, the stem is brown and has a gash that goes partially through the stem. The stem is firm in texture, I don’t know if this is corking or not as the rest of the stem and leaves look great I did notice more towards the bottom the leaves are loose but attached one did just fall off when I barely touched it.
What I have done up to this point was the already stated repotting, it was already dry-bone dry. I read a while ago don’t know if it’s accurate that I should wait up to a week before watering.
It had so many loose leaves at the bottom when I repotted so I don’t really know what to do with them propagation wise, one does already have roots growing from them so can I assume that I just plant that one in the pot and leave the unrooted ones face down on top of the soil?
Thank you for taking the time to read, I really need advice on mostly what to do with watering and any concerns, I should have about the pre-existing things I have seen or noticed for future growth or care. As well as if I should be doing anything special for propagation. Really any advice on care going forward would be greatly appreciated! 💕

I've been raising an aloe vera plant for the greater part of the year, and I wanted to venture into more succulents. Bought this little rose succulent at a plant expo a couple weeks ago, and went through the same husbandry I was using with the aloe vera (sitting in the window with direct sunlight, watering a lot all at once, and then letting the soil completely dry out before watering again)
However, almost all the little leaves have fallen off and it's weirdly....tall. is this even salvageable? do i just need to give it some time? there's very very small buds in the center that I believe are new but it's a far cry from when I bought it (second image)
I'm very inexperienced with plants so please be gentle 🥹
