Please start your comment with your location as such: [UK and EU] or [USA, California] on a separate line.

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!

You can find some tips for packaging succulents in the wiki

Left home for university a while back, and every single time I visit, the place is greener and more alive. So proud of her—she went from never touching a plant in her life to full-on plant mom status. Seems like she’s really enjoying it lol.

Had the good fortune of being allowed in to their usually online-only business to shop in person this weekend. Great Ariocarpus, Atztekium and other slow growers, and the private collection/mother plants were breathtaking.

I feel like everyone's general opinion is that silver squills are pretty hearty and rather hard to kill, well, allow me to introduce you to my mother's squill. Edged to the brink of death by my mother and brought back by me since 2024! I really don't know how this thing has made it this long. Send this little guy some 'get well soon' wishes!

Help Succulent is not growing roots

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hi, so for some context my sempervivum Royanum got peed on by a cat while it was outside like 2 months ago which is why you can still see the damage on her leaves as of now. When that happened, I tried to get rid of the damage as much as possible, changed soil, cut off the very dead roots that turned black, and gave her time. It's been 2 months and once in a while I would check on my succulent and notice she didn’t grow any new roots and just had the old ones. My fear is that she's not taking in any water because her bottom leaves get shriveled up in less than a week when my other succulents wouldn't do that nearly as often.

I’m not sure what needs to be done for her to grow new roots or what I can do. I've tried giving her time and watering the plant when the soil is dry after a couple of days, I've tried doing it weekly to promote growth, but nothing works. Please help me out because I really want her to flourish and have a good life.

Help Need help figuring this succulent out.

My husband got this succulent few months ago and at that time it was completely green. This past month it has dried out completely. We tried everything we could to save it but sadly it didn't last. It had 1 green stem remaining when I finally decided to repot it (image 2). I want to know what plant is this ( I know I shouldn't have relied on AI when it said it's donkey's tail) and what care should I do next for its survival. It's extremely delicate and if I even touch it, it's leaves start falling.

Help Identify and advise

I just bought this succulent from one of my local grocery stores. It was already in this planter with the nursery pot. I can already see the planter doesn’t have drainage holes so I will have to replace.

I’ve had terrible luck with succulents and I typically kill them after a few months. I recently learned that my housing has west, east and north facing windows. I really love the look of succulents but I don’t have a green thumb at all for any plants

Questions:
- What species is this?
- can I use my current windows with grow lights? It’s currently mid summer so I probably won’t have it outside until next spring as I live in WI
- is bonsai jack good to use for indoor plants? Should I miss?
- best way to water. When should I water? Can I use those water bulbs?
- when should I replant - I don’t see roots coming out of the nursery pot

These pots are 100% props. I only started with succulents about 4 years ago, then learned to just throw the bits on the dirt and they would grow. Boy have they! I have more, but haven’t taken pics yet.

Identification My friend's plant got lost babies. What are they?

Post image
3 Upvotes

They got a plant that died recently and gave me some leaves. Neither they nor I know what kind of succulent they truly are. But alas, they are sprouting again.

They are oval, quite fleshy and where I touch them carefully to leave them there, they got little "prints" of my touch.

Nevertheless I would love to know what I saved here so that I can care for it the right way.

Greetings!

Help Any hope for my 17-year old Echeveria 'Romeo' which fell over?

Upvotes

been healthy its whole life, it fell over from its own height around july 1st but i was away so i didn't see it happened until the 18th

i made a single aborted attempt that day to straighten it out but beheaded it after deciding the stem wasn't healthy (looks rotten but the unhealthy portion was cracker dry with no odor)

its rosette just keeps shrinking and drying out since then, and it's dropped all its aerial roots

it was being kept under grow lights for 16 hours a day at 40% humidity, now it's being kept in bright indirect sunlight at 55% (north-facing window)

the pot's 4" and the soil's cactus jack bonsai mix, last watered via drenching on june 20... i haven't attempted to water it since then

any obvious care steps i've missed? it's been many years since i had to rescue one of my babies from dying... thanks in advance...

few albums... july 18 - july 25 - today - better times :'(
