Succulents

Poor guy

!

Look who just got delivered! Gonna need to get some planters soon, but to be honest the slitted ones this store ships them in are really great for water drainage...

My lithops have been in various stages of splitting for the past few months. They have decided to show the process all in one pot! The potting medium is perlite.

After trying (and failing) to rescue an overwatered Echeveria plant from the supermarket, I sort of got addicted to succulents and went out and bought this one. I have no idea what Im doing but Im hoping starting with a healthy one will be a better introduction.

Gettin' too big and stretchy for its pot!

Hey everyone, I just got back from vacation and I'm super happy to see that the community didn't implode! Thank you all for being respectful while I was away and making my first mod experience a good one. I'll have to find a mod buddy before my next vacation 🤣.

It took a while, but it's back and flourishing. 😍 I'll give it another year or so and then start working on ramification and creating a canopy. I traded a cactus nursery a bunch of seeds from my euphorbia obesa pair for it in Feb '21 and it's grown so much!

One of my Little Jewels! Pachyphytum compactum

I got this little Echeveria for free from a large supermarket giving them away. It is obviously in very poor condition but I wanted to try to nurse it back to health. Ive grown many things but succulents are not one of them. Looking for advice on how I might give this little guy the best chance possible.

First obvious problem is they overwatered the crap out of them. Currently letting it dry out next to my Aerogarden so it gets plenty of light.

Been trying to not scare these off to get some pictures for a while now! Was so happy with this one.

Should have probably put a part of that title down here, huh? ;)

Anyway, these were also purchased online, but that site shipsthem like that, with soil and in pots.

The store I got them from ships them dried out and with no soil, ready for re-potting. Hope they recover quickly and grow big and strong!

There’s something about this one that I love so much. It’s a Haworthia kegani X cooperi var. venusta!

I don't know what they are but I think they are pretty nice.

So, here they are - getting sprayed in this heat might not be too bad, but I was worried about the mist hitting the cacti and killing them by overwatering ;)

Struggled with my Tokyo Sun from the beginning, was one of my first plants & I learned so much since then. The time period between the first and last photos are about 8 months!

A cute little Lophocereus Schlottii on the left, and a THICK Euphorbia Triangularis Cristata on the right (the little cactus behind is just photobombing, it's not attached).

Sadly he got a bit etiolated last winter, but this year he's going to get all the light and love so he can stay cute and pudgy :)

Saw these on a walk recently and I have been obsessed with them since. I think the succulents are related to the invasive “ice plant” highway succulent grass you find all over the California coastline. I’ve never seen such a full bush 😃

I’m having to grow all my succulents in a cabinet this year because of lack of sunlight at my current apartment, and my lithops are pretty thrown off by the whole situation. I lost one (the sunken one) I’ve been afraid to unpot everybody to remove, but the rest seem to be doing alright. Two of the dorothea(?) didn’t split at all this year. At some point I plan to separate by species because some definitely seem to want water more than others.

Ok it didn't exactly do anything crazy, but it was blooming like we had never seen before this last November! Absolutely gorgeous!

Hello! I posted a few days ago on !houseplants@mander.xyz and one of the comments mentioned there was this succulent-specific community so I figured I would post here as well! So for a bit of background I have a black thumb, I've tried caring for plants in the past and they always seem to die on me. I'm trying to change this! I bought a handful of succulents and am trying to figure out how to keep them alive. Any advice is welcome!

The succulents: dwarf jade, panda plant, echeveria elegans, split rock, and there's one more that I'm having trouble identifying so if anyone recognizes it please let me know! It's the spiky one.

! ! ! !

I saved this plant from my office 6 months ago because it had nearly no leaves, and now she's green and growing in a unique way. If this is what healthy looks like, it's all good with me.

I really need to stop buying every succulent I find cute. I am quickly running out of space, and in winter I might have to sleep outside so that all my plant buddies can stay indoors...

These beauties were there, just waiting for me to take them home, so I did :) Got a really nice planter (not pictured) too - today's a good day!

When some of my succulents stretch over the winter, I need to repot them into lil' dinky pots so they can start fresh! Yes, I know I need to get a grow light 🙄
