Is this okay? I put my succs outside so they could get more sun (cos I thought that was why they were reaching so funky) but now they're getting even leggier and reaching even farther! Nietzsche is going NUTS. Marx got a bunch of pink back though, which I'm excited about! Is this okay? Am I missing something? Also my sand rose just got water yesterday and is still kinda mushy..

Do I chop or leave it on? Hey guys! My #SandRose didnāt bloom last year. I wasnāt sure if I was supposed to cut the stalk, which has gone limp, or leave it on.

Is this sand rose or bronze? Greg says this is sand rose but I was scrolling stories and someone posted a bronze and now Iām unsure of what this is. Any help is appreciated #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #PlantID #SucculentSquad

Does anyone know why my new Sand Rose is going dark/black in some places and peeling? The underside of some of the leaves are a very dark colour, and a few of the leaves seem to have peeling spots on them. Thereās new green growth in certain parts, so that would indicate to me that itās not doing too badly, but I just wanted to check. #SandRose

Got my airplant holder hung up, with my SOP 𤩠I love that this branch I found in the yard holds things so well lol. š I also got my lime n chili eche. Into its new pot, I love the black details. š¤ (pic 2) my new ghost plant, and graptoveria props are doing well, however Iāve got some other graptoverias that are almost a month old but have only produced roots ? Should I stick these in dirt further ? Why havenāt they produced a new stem or rosette ? It seems only this variant Iāve encountered this issue with. If you have any ideas let me know ! #Graptoveria #SucculentSquad #PropagationStation #Propagation and my sand rose has really grown since I brought her home too ! šø I love her tiny pot š¤ #AnacampserosRetusa #AirPlant

āļø Sunlight Needs
Anacampseros arachnoides requires abundant, bright and direct light. Place it less than one foot from a window to ensure it receives enough light to survive šŖ. Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement in your home š”.
š¶ š š¶ Toxicity
Greg does not have confirmed data on this plantās toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, itās always best to consult a medical professional.
If you or someone else ingested this plant, call Poison Control at US (800) 222-1222. If a pet consumed this plant, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA atĀ US (888) 426-4435.
šØ Humidity
Anacampseros arachnoides prefers dry environments. Providing extra humidity or misting your plant allows water to linger on leaves, which can create the perfect environment for harmful types of fungi.
šŖ“ Soil
Anacampseros arachnoides is very sensitive to wet soil, so choose a potting soil that drains very well and doesnāt retain too much moisture. A good soil will have lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition. A few handfuls of perlite added to regular store-bought cactus soil will do the trick!
š© Fertilizer
Anacampseros arachnoides grows very slowly and doesnāt require added fertilizer. Replacing your plantās potting soil once a year should provide them with more than enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
āļø Dormancy
Itās common for Anacampseros arachnoides to go dormant in the summertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.
š Native Region
Anacampseros arachnoides is native to Southern Africa and Central America.
š§ Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
