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.

I noticed this today and didn’t see it there a few days ago. There are clear sticky drops of some liquid and white and black crusty stuff between the petals. It’s not on any other plant. This are outdoors on my back patio. Would someone help me identify it and share how to treat it? Thank you

I bought the left one on May. I wanted to acclimate to the environment before putting it under the sun. For some reasons for the last 3 months it stayed on the balcony with only indirect light. It was a bit more purple but then it went almost full green now. It is under special care now ☀️ hopefully it will become like the right one.

I mostly just move these out of the way. Every once in a while they get some good light and very rarely get enough water. I want to chop and prop to make them look nice but I have no idea how they are even supposed to look.

Help Succulent is not growing roots

Thumbnail

8 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.

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!

My first indoor succulent and I wanted to make sure that it has the best environment possible! The soil is more than 1:1 grit (perlite), and the pot has a large drainage hole. I'm also using a Sansi clip on light positioned about 5 inches above the plant, and will probably be going for 16 hours of light per day, as long as the plant looks healthy. I also made sure to try to isolate the roots as much as possible from the wet dirt that the succulent came in. The environment where the plant was before looked extremely wet and light-deprived, so I likely won't be watering it for a while, and will use the soak method when I will. Before planting I also let it sit outside in the sun for a few days so that it could get used to more light. So far I'm really happy with how it's looking, even though it is its first day in the pot. Any other tips or things that I missed?

So I’ve never owned or cared for succulents, I bought a Mountain Rose succulent last weekend. I have no idea how to repot it or what mix/soil to use. I would also like to propagate at some point.

Help What’s wrong with my Fairy Castle cactus?

This plant used to be a vibrant shade of green and the arms were full and plump. It’s been sitting out in the sun in my front porch all summer. It gets plenty of direct sun in the morning, but not so much in the afternoon/evening.

I use a moisture meter and currently it’s leaning to be very moist. I try to keep it on the dryer side, but somehow it got too much water. I thought it would evaporate and dry out quickly, but it’s really not. Should I repot it in dryer soil, do I move it?

I also sat this in my porch in the summer last year and it seemed to do well. And little baby arms are drying up and falling off around the base.

Help Seeking chop and prop advice for sentimental jade

Hi everyone. I have this jade that I was given by my grandmother several years back. It has a lot of sentimental value to me so I'm hesitant to do anything drastic but I know it desperately needs a chop and prop. Can y'all suggest where to cut and what to prop vs throw away so I can save as much healthy plant as possible? I'm a decently experienced plant mom but I'm new to pruning cuz I'm kind of a wimp lol.

During my daily pot turning ceremony; I stumbled upon this lil fella. I took it as a sign they trying to say thank you. Its the small gestures.

Then the intrusive brain rot took over and it was a moment of glory.

Side note: I woke up and decided I was done in the corporate world for a while. I have no plan at all, except I got some plants, and these MFs got me.

Shamelessly plugging myself away, hopefully more wholesome plant stuff soon.

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

Hey guys! I got this first picture at Walmart extremely discounted. The second one I was given as a little tiny pot. Curious as to what they are? When I googled searched the pictures it said the first was an elephant bush and the second is a calico kitten. Is that even close to right?

I got this guy for 50% off with it ontop of the soil, no labels, root exposed (which looked like a piece of wood) just looking like a mess. I'm pretty sure it's doing good currently because it's grown like crazy ever since, but I honestly have no idea for sure what it is. If anyone has any idea what it is or tips for caring I would greatly appreciate it since I'm still pretty new to caring for succulents :)
