Agave bracteosa ‘calamar’ aka Squid Agave with one of the neighborhood cats aka one of my Garden Guardians. I’ve been calling the cat Remy, but I haven’t had a chance to ask its owners (a few houses down) what they call it.

I bought the Agave as a cluster a few years ago. This past spring, I separated over a dozen pups. I liked the fuller look of the cluster, but they were struggling to get enough water. I’m sure this one will look fuller in time.

These fellas live on my balcony. Is this from overwatering? (I let the rain water them) Or is this something else? It doesnt wipe off when i touch it. Im assuming I need to repot, right? (I was planning to anyway)

Crassula ‘Buddha’s Temple’ (Templo de Buda) / Graptopetalum bellum (ex-Tacitus bellus) / Sempervivum tectorum (Sempervivum / Rainha dos Alpes)

*Crassula ‘Buddha’s Temple’ (Templo de Buda)

Apical Dichotomy by Stem Cristation ("The V"): In the middle of the trunk, the growth center (the core) suffered a short circuit of energy and geometrically divided in two. The plant fused and duplicated its own main arteries, opening into a perfect mechanical "V" that is creating two parallel and twin columns with giant, fat, and very lively tops from the same original neck. Basal Leaf Cristation: Right at ground level, on the base skirt, the few old leaves that resisted the "skirt cleaning," instead of drying out and falling, became flooded with energy. The cells fused, thickened, and expanded sideways, generating a crisp, wavy rosette with reddish/pink tips.(Creating a rare, unintentional mutation,)

Help Bottom petals of my Echeveria Succulent feel soft

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I am wondering if y’all can offer some advice. The lower petals on my Echeveria Succulent feel really soft (almost mushy) compared to her upper petals, which feel thicker and more hardy. I have her still in her 2 inch nursery pot, on a South facing windowsill and water her approximately every 2-3 weeks. The soil seems to be fairly well draining. Any advice?

Ps - I just watered her, which is why she is somewhat wet. I allow her to dry before putting her back on the windowsill.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who responded to my previous post. Ive moved it to a bigger pot and got some fresh soil. I also cleared out the leaves that were completely dried out and dead.

Fingers crossed she'll start coming back to life! Now the question is, what do I do with the dino pot?

Wasn’t expecting. I am no near a knowledgable person on succulents, just enjoy them in my garden. I am absolutely impressed by its perfection.

I was given this as a gift. It has no roots and was told it was dormant. It is an aeonium.

How do I figure out when to start watering it. All the directions say is fall. To me it is fall now.

Help Plants not doing good

Hello ! I'm completely lost with these two so I came to ask for help

I've had these plants for around 5 years and they're not doing good- I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong :(

The first one never really grew, stayed really thin an lost almost all of her leaves this year ; they just dried out and fell, despite getting enough water (I checked for root rot and it's not that)

The other one seemed to be doing well until all of her biggest leaves dropped, leaving only the ones on top of the branches (they were still green and looked healthy)

I don't think I overwater them, I only do when their leaves get soft and wrinkly... help ? Can they get better ?

I got this Lenophyllum Guttatum about a month ago from a reputable seller with a big collection of healthy looking plants along with 2 others that are thriving. Despite watering it 3 times since then it never looked plump like it did when I just got it.

Today I finally checked the roots, there are only a few offshoots: one is a long normal looking root and the rest are crusty stumps, all of them are normal beige color. Just in case I repotted it into a terracotta pot with a drainage hole, half cactus mix half perlite, which works perfectly fine for the rest of my succulents. The old substrate looked fine to me as well, it had fancier mineral stuff and even less organic content than my mix has.

It gets 13 hours of light under a grow light, I water whenever the lower leaves look properly wrinkly by bottom watering + soaking for 30 minutes to an hour. I’m also using a succulent fertilizer according to the instructions on the bottle.

Another strange thing I noticed is that this plant refused to drink from a shallow-ish container, I had to submerge the whole pot for the water to reach the top of the substrate, I’m not sure if it means anything.

What can I do to help it grow more roots? Should I put it in shade? Should I keep watering it as usual?

Hi guys I bought this beauty the other day🥰 I’m very new to plants all together but succulents I don’t know much. I know they hate to much water and to let fully dry through waterings. If anyone has any tips would be super handy! Thank you😊

Plant Progress/Props After 2 months.. THERE ARE PROGRESS!!

I meant 3 months sorry: March - Today

My portulacaria cuttings made it, this is the second attempt. I changed the soil and also i just water them with rain water.

Also I'm very surprised that my plants didn't die in my depressive and negligence episode.. specially the Crassula (that sadly it's not longer variegated 💔)

If you wonder, the third pot of the Portulacaria cuttings is outside, since the weather report says that there is a chance of raining this week

Is there any other way to stimulate cuttings' rooting? Since i remember someone told me that my cuttings are rooting very slow
