Happy #WhatTheSuccWednesday! 🤗🌵🪴💚 Today, we have a #succulentarrangement I made at work, featuring my coworker’s giant #Echeveria of some kind (I think?), a #SpiderCactus which is hidden by all the clover that is taking over the pot 😂, my #AloeVera and some #GollumJade. It’s so happy in the office window and that echeveria keeps growing! It’s about 7” across now! 😱 Then, we have my #FloristKalanchoe which is finally about to rebloom! Go girl! 🌸🌸🌸 Next, my #Sempervivum enjoying the winter in the living room window My cute new #SnakePlant 🐍 And last but not least, my new Echeveria Neon Breakers from #GregPlantShop. The colors are POPPING under my succulent grow lights! 🌈🌈🌈 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #SnakePlantSquad #AloeAddicts #HensAndChicks #Kalanchoe #babevila

Hi! I’m trying to verify what kind of plant this little one is. I’m not able to tell what kind of succulent she is, and I want to make sure she’s getting adequate care. Any advice is appreciated! #SucculentLove #Sempervivum #NewPlantMom

I don’t know why but this plant attracted a mass amount of fruit flies to it. I have over thirty house plants yet I’ve only ever had this problem with my chick. If it were not for this fact, I would rate the plant 5/5. It is extremely easy to care for and pretty to look at.
