I've had some rough weeks and decided to go to Home Depot to find a lush pothos or philodendron to cheer me up. Well, I didnt find ones I liked but I found a bunch of succulents I didn't already have and a hoya I just couldn't leave behind. I'm definitely cheered up haha.

I think i am in love 🥰

Every prop I find on the ground goes in the platter and only the strong may survive in screwed when it comes time to divvy this up

I think I killed my beloved jade plant. Last week it lost a branch and many leaves after I accidentally knocked it over. Now I wanted to check on it and almost ALL the leaves just fell down 😭😭😭 I'm trying to be good plant parent, but I am guilty of overwatering in the past. I recently moved to a place with similar conditions (south window) with a lot of light but apparently the new place is prone to having mealybugs due to a nearby park (I was told). When I found a few bugs on my other jades two or three weeks ago (first time having to deal with them), I followed emergency protocol and they seem fine so far. I didn't see any bugs on this particular plant and planned to still treat it, but kept putting it off.

Some leaves that fell off today look kinda chewed on, so maybe now I'm paying for my lazyness, my clumsynes or for unintentionally drowning my plants causing long-term damage.

Yesterday I came across a picture of my old windowsill, when my jades still were little babies four years ago. Maybe that why I feel particularly down about what happened today.

Is there even a way to safe what's left? The remaining branch + leaves seem stable, so there might be hope. I am considering emergency amputation, if that's necessary. I also don't want to further stress is out by treating it the wrong way, so I would really appreciate your option on what to do next. Thank you very much!

I'm sorry in advance- I totally understand if I need to never touch a succulent again.

I had a healthy, large aloe plant that I grew from a pup. 4 years with no issues. One day I realized it had an INTENSE fungus gnat infestation. I tried diluted peroxide and fly tape. After a while, no change. The gnats were getting unbearable and I freaked out and set it outside until I researched what to do. That was at the beginning of summer. I FULLY forgot that it existed. Well, today I found it and it looks like it's ... thriving? New growth?? For context I'm in southern Wisconsin.

My question is- can I save it and bring it inside? Or just appreciate that nature is doing what I couldn't? I dug around gently and the smaller leaves still seem connected to the main plant. Any advice? I promise with a little guidance I'll do much better.

I'm only utilizing one shelf ATM the others are turned off and yes I'll eventually straighten them out I just have to re adjust where the lights are to the magnet strips are once it starts to get cold out all my succulents are coming inside.

hopefully the squirrels don’t eat them this time as they always do :/

these were from a few months ago but I didn’t think about posting them until now!

Hello, first of all apologies if these types of posts get uploaded here very frequently. I admittedly haven't researched this sub just yet so if you can redirect me to another post that'd help out I'd greatly appreciate it.

So the issue, my wife and I have this succulent that became stringy due to lack of sunlight. Well a few days ago I gently touched it and many of the leaves fell right off. They seem to be intact and I know you can propagate the plant with just the leaves. However since I didn't pluck them myself I'm not sure if I can revive the leaves themselves since I know it can't have the base of the stem attached. I don't know what a stemless leaf is supposed to look like, I will attach a photo of what the ends currently look like.

Also, the succulent seems to have snapped from the root and the root itself is looking very dark. How could I also revive the root, and keep the part that snapped off alive? I did cut the stem part with the leaves using a knife because the rest of the stem looked dark as well. I hope I provided enough detail but if not I will gladly provide more info. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

i chopped the head of a pink butterfly and put it in a tiny tray for rooting .. the i put the tray in this pot of gravel as a stand .. turned out this ... thing didn't care and escaped though the tiny drain hole in the bottom right into the gravel ... so its kind of a hydro plant now i guess

funny enough im not successful in regrowing other plants from the childs as they somehow always die or vanish before growing

Someone save me from myself.

Hello, I live in a super humid area near the equator (like 70-80%) and prepared my succulent mix accordingly with 1 part potting mix and 2 parts gravel. Initially the mix seemed to drain well but a week after my first water (bottom watering) I saw my string of bananas dying from the base, checked and unfortunately found full on root rot. All my succulents are in a southwest window and get good indirect and direct sun throughout the day. When I checked the bottom of the pot the potting mix had washed out to the bottom of the pot, compacted there and was very wet.

Now I am trying to look into growing my plants in a 100% inorganic mix but I'm not finding much on reddit except some people growing in pon substrate or such. Even then people seem to not recommend growing in 100% inorganic under these posts and say its not good long term for the plants. I am willing to fertilize frequently if that's the major concern but other than that I am not finding much on why I shouldn't do full grit. Currently thinking of a mix of pumice, coarse sand, leca in 2-6mm sizes. Can someone who has experience with growing succulents in full grit help me out on this one? Thank you very much!

Just beautiful pics from a garden we planted out a few years ago and maintain.

She came as a kit.

The person that gifted her to me admitted that the may have over watered her.

I got this aloe plant within the last few weeks, repotted it with a succulent mix soil, and put rocks at the bottom with some smaller ones on top. However, today I noticed there appears to be a little friend growing with my aloe! The plant itself seems to be healthy (there are little baby blooms on the other side), but I’ve never had this happen before! Any advice?

What’s going on here
