How lovely are these outstanding succulents.👌 Congratulations 😃 @Catplantaddict @FairyFly @Shells_Garden @Hoyaobsessed
@RJG I must say you are doing a tremendous job every Wednesday and of course Friday. So it’s no surprise that sometimes little oopsy‘s occur. I‘m just bringing it to your attention because we didn’t get to see the splitting lithop. Since the first https://greg.app/post/36ZFL5 was double posted. Thanks for your continued support/help and encouragement! Stay warm!
@SvelteKingfern EEEEK!!! YESS SOPHIE🤩🌱😭🥳 YAYAYAYA ATHENAA guirrrrl!!! Your spotlight! Omg please put up the shade cloth it’s shining so bright on her🤩🌱😭🥳
@Hoyaobsessed YAY🌱🌸✨ flower whisperer it was only time🤩🥳🌱 EEEK YOUR STRING IS SO BEAUTIFUL 🥳🥹 congratulations Avalone!! :)
Thank you for the feature @RJG! ☺️ Well deserved everyone, keep up the wonderful care! @SvelteKingfern @Shells_Garden @Hoyaobsessed @Catplantaddict
My first ever post is my new succulent, euphorbia monstrose. A very cacti looking guy. Am I doing this right? https://greg.app/post/2qkojl/excited-for-my-new-euphorbia-monstrose-my-first-time-growing-this-bb-any-tips-are-much-appreciated #SucculentLove #NewPlantMom
@Kodaksplants Your care seams 2b ok. Just water less often: once every 20 days, and in Summer once a fortnight.
@Blueberrypie wow, that’s awesome. 👏🏻 I have a baby that I separated too but without all the drama. Your baby is huge and looks healthy so keep us updated. I also wanted to say that I love your air plant in the lady 🧘 pot in the background. Nicely done!
@SvelteKingfern thank you Sophie. Mine is new. I actually saw another member’s post and that plant was just too pretty, I had to have one. I found a great local Etsy seller and ordered so 🤞🏻she takes off! 😊
@RJG thank you Drew for the mention! Another great week of outstanding features. @Catplantaddict Lithops sort of scare me but I’m so looking forward to seeing your progress. @SvelteKingfern not only is that turtle pot completely adorable but your baby is too. I can see the care and love from the photo. Can’t wait to see her flower. @FairyFly as I said in another post, you are brave! I’m still shying away from the prickly succulents (I had a bad run in with them in my 20’s while camping and the fire dept was pulling them out of my behind with tweezers🤭). @Hoyaobsessed How did you get your plant to flower? They are so delicate. She’s so pretty. Congratulations to all of you for having some awesome babies
@RJG thanks for featuring me! Here's what Brownie looks like right now.

@Catplantaddict OH MY GOODNESS!!! The legend🤩🤩🥹wow that’s incredible photography too!! It literally looks like I can feel the texture! Just incredible 😭🌱 tysm!! Amazing 🥹🥳
@Prentyce thank you! I tried my best 😅 though often it doesn't end up that great. But anyway, the texture is quite interesting! Have you ever felt lithops before? The sides are really smooth, but on the top, it is bumpy and reminds me of something like snakeskin, as it feels like a bunch of small scales.
@Catplantaddict oh no I have never!! Bahahah now I really want to! That is awesome🤩🌱 excellent description too! I can definitely imagine the real thing now🥳🤩🌱
@Shells_Garden light and watering is a vital combo with these hearts. I have killed several before I was able to grow them.
@Shells_Garden
Please, do not buy a planter like that for cacti/ succulents. I liked it at the beginning, but the sloped top makes it very hot in the Sun. This pot is definitely not for succulents that need a lot of Sun rays.

@SvelteKingfern thanks so much for the tip. I’ll keep in mind that the cutest pots aren’t always the most practical pots!
@Hoyaobsessed thank you for the insight and congratulations on getting it figured out! It’s the best feeling in the world to master the care of a plant you’ve previously sent to its demise. My kryptonite seems to be Alocasia, Angel Wings or Taros!
@Catplantaddict wow just wow! It look like something from outer space but it’s soo cool. 😎 we are all waiting in anticipation for it to open now but they still scare me!!!😳
@Shells_Garden - That elephant 🐘 planter is the BEST!! I got one and I wanted to put my elephant bush in it, but it was too small, so I put a njoy prop in it! Now it has 5 leaves 🥰
The elephant bush got the hedgehog 🦔 pot ❤️

💜 lavender scallops is giving me babies and I didn’t have to do a thing 😁
🩷 tri color jade is growing quickly
🤍 ghost echeveria is sooooo pretty 🤩
💚 black tie kalanchoe is finally starting to get some new leaves
🩵 kalanchoe humilis/desert surprise is overcoming the mealies and has some new leaves coming in!
Right next to that is my tiger tooth aloe and it just gave me its first baby 😁😁 YAYYYY 🥰

@JenniferNoel Jennifer both those pots are adorable. I bought the elephant as part of a succulent set. I think there is a sheep, raccoon, Cow, zebra and of course the elephant. They are so cute but I found them to be too small for anything but a tiny cutting! I will say you are my people and I definitely like your style. I have a satin pothos cutting in the Zebra pot. Sumatra is her name and she’s my work desk buddy! I almost bought that same hedgehog planter just last week. It’s so cute but I wasn’t sure it would work well so I opted for one with Easter bunnies instead! It just arrived so I’m not sure what I’ll put in there yet.
@Shells_Garden - OHHHHH, I LOVE that little bunny 🐰 pot 🥰🥰 It’s sooo adorable!!
The kritter pots are just the BEST!
I also just got this frog and idk what to put in him yet 🤔 Maybe a prop or a ric rac cactus! I haven’t decided yet!!
That 6 (and a fox) piece set is the cutest, but I see why they are labeled air plant holders! They are TINY, yet perfect for props and the smaller succs 😁
And your satin looks AWESOME 🤩

@Shells_Garden
I'm adding extra insulation to protect from the heat. I'm definitely repotting next Spring.

@JenniferNoel oh my goodness! 🙈🙉. You should not have posted these adorable pots!! Now I have to go search for them! Shame on you Jennifer!!! 🤣
@JenniferNoel and I totally forgot about the Fox. I think he’s out back in my plant graveyard with a dead something in him!
@Shells_Garden - Amazon finds girlfriend!! & here’s some more I have 🥰
And YOU have a plant graveyard?! 🤯 How is that even possible?? Your oasis is HEAVENLY AHHHHMAZING 🤩
That’s plant goals right there!!

@SvelteKingfern I’m not exactly sure. It just turned brown and yellow out of nowhere. This is the mother plant:(
That's a hard one (I assume you were doing everything right). Is the mother plant still alive? @Blueberrypie
@SvelteKingfern yea, I’ve been watering every week or two for several months with no problems and then one day it just took a turn. It might be rust disease, there was some reddish spots on the baby that I picked off. I tried to work on the mother plant but she didn’t make a recovery ❤️🩹
Right. Just continue treatment for rust on the mother and the baby for at least 2 months. Rust (fungus) may not be visible on the surface, but microscopically it can be there on the "skin" and a bit beneath. @Blueberrypie
