So I get most of my succulents from Home Depot.They are usually located indoor under grow lites.When I buy them they have brilliant colors but 2 weeks after being home under grow lights, they lose their color and just turn green. What am I doing wrong. #Sedum

I'm a little worried about Eyore. A couple of translucent leaves. The center looks healthy, but I don't want something to spread.

About a year ago, a stray cat got stuck in my pool area after falling through the birdcage mesh. It then proceeded to wreak havoc on my garden, trying to escape my dog The cat was fortunately unharmed, but my young burro's tail, Mule, was broken and scattered all over the ground. I was devastated because I had just gotten him looking nice and lush, and now he was in pieces 😢; he looked such a mess I couldn't stand it 😭; it really felt like the end of the world right there. However, Mule was still my plant baby, so I couldn't just give up on him 😔. So I salvaged what I could, repotted every last piece into a hanging basket, and prayed he'd pull through. However, little did I know that burro’s tails are some of the few succulents that will propagate from anything; so three burro tails became several and counting, and the scattered mess is quickly becoming the picture-perfect hanging succulent I always dreamed of, and it's all thanks to that cat 🤭. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PetsAndPlants #PlantLove #HangingPlants #BurrosTail #SucculentSquad #Succulents

Powdery mildew help! Hi friends, Unfortunately for the last few weeks I’ve had a few plants who have gotten powdery mildew. I’ve been treating my burro’s tail with neem oil, but she looks pretty bad and seems to be getting worse. It’s one of my favorite plants and was thriving prior to this (minus needing a bigger pot) How can I save her? Should I chop and replant? Keep treating with neem? #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad

One of the stems on my jelly bean plant has been deteriorating I got this beauty like 2/3 months ago when she was just those at the bottom and she’s just been progressively growing more and more. The stem that’s circled was the first one to sprout to its fullest so I’m not supprised to see it go first. Does any one know what I should do with it, for example like how I would propagate it or just the most optimal way to cut it off to keep her happy and prevent growth?  #Succulents #JellyBeanPlant

I love this little plant but it seems very sad, droopy, and wilting. I moved it closer to direct light. I think it got overwatered. I want to repot it from a plastic pot to a terracotta but I’m afraid I will cause more harm. Any suggestions?

Bustr #Sedum just a check up is bustr looking okay? The photos make it look more green than it is. It's a more muted green not as vibrant.

Identity theft When I first got Ronaldo, his pink stems were my favorite thing about him. But he was my first succulent, I had no idea what I was doing, and it got rough there for a while. I THOUGHT I had managed to save parts of him even as the big stems withered. I thought that it was because it was winter, the light wasn’t strong enough, and that’s why his new growth stems weren’t pink anymore; that the original plant was dehydrated, and that’s why its leaves weren’t as plump as the new growth. But comparing the two pictures, it’s clear that Ronaldo was originally an elephant bush, and this new growth is NOT. Now I have to figure out what this plant is, and do I rename him?? #PlantID #WhatTheSuccWednesday #SucculentSquad #SuccuLove #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

This thing almost grows TOO fast- I have it in a cute little Michigan planter, and after three months I’ve had to cut it down to nothing twice! I’ve propagated it too, which was fun (see the Brady Bunch in my collection) and I’m looking forward to giving his offspring to friends and family.
