Answer

Someone seems to love the sumner sun! Also, Cholla cactus new growth. My son (soon to be leaving for AZ) just returned from Joshua Tree. I’m going trailing with him to the park this winter, and the Cholla 🌵cactus garden!! 🤗🥰

Answer

Awww 🤩🤩🤩 Thank you @RJG

Answer

Any guess what kind of Echeveria is this?

Answer

I found some great new friends last weekend at Yaquina Nursery here in #Oregon, including a new friend for Jejy (a teensy #PachypodiumLamerei) enough cool succulents to fill a #strawberrypot, a little cactus, a zebra baby-having-babies, and some fascinating rosettes!

Answer

Here is the strawberry pot progress! And also, though Jejy’s new baby leaves were downright traumatized by my zealous sun placement, they are very happy under the light now. Happy day! (FYI, Jejy’s a #pachypodiumgeayi not a lamerei 😆)

Answer

@SwiftMedeola OMG this is absolutely breathtaking

Answer

I got last week’s #PlantMail potted on Monday.

Answer

I also got last week’s nursery buy and gift from a friend potted on Monday.

Answer

@SwiftMedeola wow that doesn’t even look real with the flowers all perfect like that.  That could be a show cactus looking like that.

Answer

About to get a new flower.  And the airocarpus is slowly growing the new leaves in. Crazy how slow they grow but I like the slow growers

Answer

Stray cats knocked this one down to the first floor and it killed the new growth but now there’s two new heads growing in

Answer

@RJG I found this euphorbia knuthii yesterday locally.  It’s pretty big and it was cheap so I had to get it.  I don’t know if it’s one big one or multiple smaller ones.  Have to dig it up to see if there’s one big caudex or multiple caudex hiding under the soil.  I have never seen one this size for sale and $26 sounded too cheap to pass up.  They only had this one.

Answer

@WiseDidelta I love your succulent pots!

Answer

@SwiftMedeola absolutely beautiful 🦋

Answer

@vvvelo Ghost

Answer

First two pics are not my plants but they are amazing!!! They’re at a restaurant I went to for lunch.  Last one is my sweet Graptoveria Titubans Variegata. I love the difference in coloring!

Answer

@PColasanti cool idea! I’m going to do this! Big Lots have these for about $4.99

Answer

@SuperblyLilac do you mean Ghost Echeveria? Because this is definitely an Echeveria, I just do not know what kind of

Answer

@SwiftMedeola I think your cactus is a parodia because the flowers are way too big to be a mammillaria normally.  It does look a lot like a couple of my nammillaria but it’s the flowers that make me think it’s a parodia of some type

Answer

@Roserade wow that cholla looks so pretty.  Worse one to get poked by but that looks awesome

Answer

@Roserade that’s a good plant to put in front of your windows at home for security and to look nice.  Nobody wants to climb over one of those.

Answer

@vvvelo sorry, it’s a Pearl…

Answer

@SirLiquorice or under a teenagers window 😱🤣🤣

Answer

Won this one in a live instagram auction while I was shopping in H‑E‑B and walking around the store.  😂 I didn’t expect to win because so many people were bidding and making everything expensive.  I just bid $10 and threw in a $20 safety bid.  Have to bid in $5 increments at least and the only other bid was $16 which isn’t a valid bid, so I got it for $10.   I think that was the cheapest plant of the auction.  And it arrived fast.  It wasn’t the one I really wanted the most but I like mammillarias so I’m still happy.

Answer

@Roserade yep exactly.  Nobody will be sneaking in or out.  And they’ll be picking glochids and spines out of their skin and clothes forever if they do try it.

Answer

@Roserade I also don’t normally get to see the chollas when they are blooming and growing fruit like that.  Could get the seeds out of the fruit to grow more.  I’d almost be tempted to ask them for a cutting or seeds.

Answer

@SuperblyLilac tbh it does not look like pearl. Pearl Ech. Looks identical to Echeveria PVN except it is green.

Answer

I had to rearrange this area and it’s still a mess but I bought and built this two story cat box condo for the #CommunityCatFerns .  It was only $9.99 at Ollie’s so I had to get it.  Seems pretty solid so it might last for awhile.  The kittens definitely like it.  Perfect cat toy.  Cardboard boxes.  Especially with this scratchy floor on both levels that they always like.  The little fighter went to the store with me when I got it.  It was her first time in a store.  She was well behaved and stayed in her seat in the cart the entire time.

Answer

@SuperblyLilac
Actually I bought them and put my SUCCULENTS in them 🥰

Answer

@RJG , thank you!

Answer

@YammieOf3 , thanks so much!

Answer

@SirLiquorice , that means so much, coming from an expert, such as yourself 😊

Answer

@SuperblyLilac , thank you 🤗

Answer

@SirLiquorice , whatever you say, I believe you!! 🤓😊

Answer

Sorry can’t find one. At my grandma’s house

Answer

Plant mail arrived just in time for #WhatTheSuccWednesday! Thank you so much @vvvelo these guys are stunning 😍 😍😍😍!!!!

Answer

@ESylvanus Succulents make people happy! 🤩 1-Echeveria Ana Lu, 2- Sedum shooting stars. I did not have bigger box, otherwise I would add more succulents for you .

Answer

@vvvelo They do indeed! And these are spectacular!! Thank you for sharing a piece of your incredible collection!

Answer

@vvvelo @RJG is it not a PVN?

Answer

I am so loving this time of year.

Answer

@SirLiquorice ahhhhh!  I may just do that!

Answer

@SuperblyLilac Yes! Do it— it will be exciting to see if they take off!

Answer

@WiseDidelta I have a succulent cocktail too! Cheers 🥂

Answer

@YammieOf3 , all so beautiful…..Color!!!🌈

Answer

Flowers just opened today on my Cotyledon Pendens. 🧡

Answer

@Hypsie, 🤗

Answer

@Boymom-plantmom I think thats an Ech. Lola

Answer

@Hypsie that’s what I always thought until I saw hers looking so similar! Ty:))

Answer

@RJG my succulents and I appreciate the mention ☺️

Answer

@Roserade if they let you take a cutting make sure to bring tongs or something and a knife.  Those chollas are awful to try to handle.  Tongs are pretty much required to hold the cutting

Answer

@Boymom-plantmom it does not really look like PVN. But I would water it and then check how it looks. This could be PVN

Answer

Many thanks to @AnthuriumQueen and @SirLiquorice for enabling me to buy this gem. #AylosteraNarvaecense I can’t take credit for the blooms, it arrived yesterday. #PlantMail #NewPlant #CactusClique

Answer

HAppy #WhatTheSuccWednesday !! Love all these plants btw one of my succulents blossoming I recieved this one for Mother’s Day

Answer

This one

Answer

@PlantznBirdz awesome!!!!! You’ll love that cactus.  It’s one of the best I’ve ever owned.  They just started stocking them at the local rainbow garden nursery even.  They must have realized that it’s one they should have been stocking this entire time since it flowers so much.

Answer

@PlantznBirdz just give it good light and don’t water too often and that’s about it.  Mine even survived very cold freezing temperatures and it didn’t even effect it at all.  Still be careful of freezing wind.  But mine handled it without any issues while others froze half to death or died

Answer

A Mother’s Day gift I put together

Answer

@Indoorgreens , awwwee, tangerine! So cute

Answer

@vvvelo always thought it was Lola but that other picture looks the same so I wasn’t sure.

Answer

4 in one!!

Answer

@SwiftMedeola wow so many blooms!!💚

Answer

@Boymom-plantmom between Lola and PVN it looks like PVN… but I am not sure. It looks very dehydrated.

Answer

Recently arranged a bunch of succulents that had been waiting in my staging area for a permanent home... particularly smitten with this graptoveria Debbie

Also I finally got the stupid fake flower off one of my two astrophyta that were cursed with them.  Only broke like a dozen spines cuz the glue was caked ugh...

Answer

This is my cactus we will not mention what kind it's inappropriate 🤫🤣

Answer

#succulents #cacti love seeing all the new growth.

Answer

#WhatTheSuccWednesday  #GregGang  #PlantMail       Happy Hump day everybody!  A new member joined the Succulent Collection today : The Ledebouria Socialis „Silver Squill“ poor thing came bare roots and was very limp, so after the repotting I‘m hoping it recouperates quickly 🤞! I am still waiting for the bloom to open up on the Echeveria Azulita. That’s all I have for now, I should add that more are arriving tomorrow, I’m so looking forward to those!

Answer

@Ms.Persnickety those silver squill plants are super tough and hard to kill.  It’s super invasive and will grow almost no matter what.  So it will be fine.  Mine has quadrupled in size almost and I only water every two weeks or less.  I just got one of those others like you have in the 3rd pic also but have no experience with it yet.  That one looks a little wrinkled and dehydrated in that pic

Answer

@ThoughtfulAlula you should have blurred out that picture.  This  is a family app.  🤣 kidding of course.  I still want to buy one of those but they are always a little expensive locally.  I will eventually purchase one probably

Answer

@ThoughtfulAlula it looks healthy.  Doesn’t even have much scarring or corking if at all.  They always tend to get scars and corking for no reason but it won’t hurt anything if it does

Answer

@Dustmite I still have one cactus that I’m not even trying to remove the stupid flower because I’m afraid I will rip lots of spines off also.  That one in the second pic looks really good however.  I like how it is mostly green with just some white spots at the bottom.

Answer

@Ms.Persnickety had to get one of those pillow feet also.  I had never seen one before.  I forgot about it and went to check on it.  It’s still not dehydrated looking so I will wait to water.  I was afraid it was going to be all shriveled since it was outside in Texas heat.

Answer

Successful succulent survival!

Answer

So. I had a sitch. I took on a task almost (it was) too much for me. I haven’t been in the app for a number of reasons so I’m sorry for that. I can’t post all the pictures…maybe…but everything is exploding. I’m doing my best to get the 200-300 potted while addressing the homeschooled plants various problems. My freaking soil is still to organic and I’ve been suffocating some. If you know what some of these are…shout ‘em out. Some didn’t survive. I will have to redo my entire oasis. I just put most of them outside bc it rained and it better rain again. I lectured them on survival of the fittest…I also have a few that Idk how to care for them. I’ll make another post about that….#askrjg #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #PLANTMAFIA #CactusClique #Cactus #WhatTheSuccWednesday

Answer

@YammieOf3 Those blooming cacti look wonderful , great job taking care of them!!

Answer

hai! im a new plant mom! this is rosie

Answer

@SirLiquorice You are absolutely right that Silver Squill was just a shadow of its former self I assume it was terribly dehydrated , since you said that they are super tough I feel more confident, Thanks . As for the crinkle feet plant It to is abit thirsty, But I think it needs a different pot! Although the bathtub is cute it’s not really appropriate as a planter. But since i am getting a few more succulents tomorrow I’ ll wait until tomorrow to repot it. Too tired right now.

Answer

@PColasanti your succulents are really cute I particularly like the tiny Madagascar Palm 🥰😍🤩
