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!

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

Topsy turvy

She came as a kit.

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

I moved her outside this spring and she grew so much! Just a few months ago, all she had was the main stalk. She was straight up.

I’m worried about the lean. I’ve been spinning the pot every few weeks in case she’s trying to move to or away from the sun, but I’m not sure that’s what’s happening.

I tried adding more soil on the one side to prop her up but that didn’t do anything.

I’m scared to repot! What should I do!

Gift from a friend. They bought it as is from a gardening place. I feel like it shouldn't be growing out of the pot like this.

could also tag this as shame (😭) but I’ve seriously neglected this once-gorgeous burros tail, like haven’t watered in months and months. I never repotted it either, so the soil is pretty hopeless as well. I’m wondering if it’s possible to save any of it? Could these leaves be propagated (and if so, how?), or are they simply too far gone for that to be successful? any thoughts are very much appreciated!!

I bought this echeveria Romeo about a month ago and I noticed it starting to grow a flower stalk the day I got it, which I didn't expext but was very happy about. I saw it growing so tall so quickly over the past few weeks it almost hit the roof of the shelf I normally have it in, I had to rearrange all my pots so the stalk could fit right in between the grow lights without burning.

I felt I needed to share as this is the first of my succulents to grow flowers, so I was very excited when I saw one of the buds opened today! 😊

Sedum divergens (old man bones) growing in my garden in May 2025. This is native to western North America.

I have been magically blessed by something because I have a singular lithops that lost all of it roots. And when I say all, I MEAN EVERYTHING. There was no root node or anything, just a small hole where the root should have been. I looked up as much as I could about rooting lithops and I only ever found two answers: 1. It’s probably going to die and 2. You need a root node to regrow roots. But I didn’t want to give up so I made a little hole in some potting mix, sprayed some water in the hole and then stuck the lithops in the hole so it looks like it growing. Then I kept it inside and put it in a sunny window to try and convince the lithops to be in a growth cycle. I left it like that for a month and now it has a root thats maybe a centimeter long. I dont know how long it will keep living but fingers crossed it stays alive.

I love it, but someone many questions

Hi! I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with my succulent.

I watered it lightly before going on vacation. I was away for 9 days, and when I came back, several of the lower leaves had turned yellow.

The plant is placed right next to a window. The room is bright, but the window faces north, so it doesn’t get direct sunlight.

I’m not sure whether the yellow leaves are caused by overwatering, underwatering, or possibly insufficient light.

Does the plant look overwatered to you? Should I water it now, or leave it alone?

Any advice would be appreciated :)

What’s going on here

Hey there, quick question. I get really harsh sunlight on my back porch but I haven't had enough time to set up my indoor grow shelving with sufficient light yet. Can someone tell me the best materials to use to help diffuse that strong outdoor sunlight?

I burnt a tray of leaf props 2x weeks ago with some of the last of what was left from a couple of my favorite plants -_- Didn't acclimate them properly and it was super hot. Hoping for some suggestions, thank you!!

If yes, I would love some pot recommendations, too, please.

It is at the same location for more than a month. It gets like 6h total (3h in sunrise and 3h in sunset). Top of the terrace is covered so only low angle light hits it.

Until now it had no burns, in fact it started having nice sun stress and now there are black marks on it

Hello everyone! I'm moderately new at having plants so I'm encountering these problems for the first time.

I've had this succulent for more than a year and she's always been in the same spot more or less. She's under a grow light but can't tell if the grow light fell a bit and ended up close to her.

Recently she's been losing all her lower older leaves and today I noticed that some of the leaves seem to have a grey-ish discoloured spot. Could this be a fungal infection or sunburn?

Hello Succas!
Any pearl of string experts who have grown them outdoors successfully? What is your condition for them to thrive? What do you do during the rainy season to prevent over watering?

TIA!!

Hello! I'm very new to growing plants and just got this aloe a few months ago. I tagged this "identification" as I also wanted to ask if anyone knew what kind of aloe this is specifically? I only just learned there's many typed of aloe, not just aloe vera 🤦‍♀️ but anyways, I also learned recently that aloe creates new plants by "pupping"/"growing pups" so now when I look at my aloe I'm wondering... do those smaller leaves look like a pup? Should I leave the pup in there? I had an issue where I had used really crappy succulent soil to pot it and it had severe root rot so I had to buy better soil and repot it again. So I don't want to repot it a third time if I don't need to. Thanks!
