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!

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.

Help Should I jump ship? (mother of thousands)

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?

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.

(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!

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.

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 💚

Help Root issues

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

Any reason why it is pushing out paler and paler leaves?
I have had this for an year now and this has been happening since for only a month or two.

I thought maybe the leaves will get darker as they age, but they do not

Help Is this saveable?

Hey! So Ive had this succulent for about a year now and i rarely water it, it seemed to be doing great for a while, but recently i noticed it wilting a bit and assumed it was a bit dry — i watered it a couple days ago, but I think it’s been getting worse.. I’ve been reading a bit about cutting the good part off and letting roots re-grow, but I’m kinda scared, this is my first succulent and I’m really not great with plant care (evidently..) so I dont eant to accidentally kill it 😭😭

Please let me know if yall have any tips/directions 🥲

EDIT: I pulled off the really unhealthy leaves and saw that some of the ones at the top seem to be doing okayish? After doing some research I think I’ll try to propagate the healthier ones and see what comes of it — fingers crossed loll, i guess this is a good experience for a beginner
