Succs are my weakness :( I go through them so fast though becasue the urge to (over) water is so high! Glad we still both have our Lithops though ! @RJG
Wow that is so cool!
@PlantyPlanter this cactus makes the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen.
@jcPlantProper I wanna say it took a month last time. πŸ€”
@jcPlantProper I have so many photos from last year πŸ‘€
Today I share my mom’s snake plants. They are considered succulents but my mom treats them like a regular house plant and waters them often, the soil is regular soil (which stays moist πŸ˜‚) and she hasn’t really repotted them. I don’t know how she does it she really has a green thumb. They are thriving and growing beautifully.. these are all babies.. the last two pictures are the same plant with some babies of its own.. I will post a picture of the mother plant in a little bit.
@RJG has the best plants hands down 😩
… here is the mother plant
I can’t believe it’s already wednesday! Happy #WhatTheSuccWednesday everybody! 🌡I repotted Spike into a terracotta pot and he seems to be loving it. Pearl my SOP keeps growing as always and Pinky just keeps turning pink!
@NMazon further proof snakes are indestructible πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ The mother is gorgeous. Tell your mom good job!!
@fabiana you're too kind!! Your succs are looking great too!
@RJG yes!! I agree.. πŸ˜‚
@NMazon also remember to send your mom to www.Greg.app/join/NMazon 🌚🫣
@NMazon whatttttt?? I mean if it works πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€
@RJG thanks! 😊
@RJG YES so she can teach us her tricks!! 😁 @NMazon
@fabiana and show us her amazing collection!!!
@RJG exactly! I would LOVE to see it!
@RJG @fabiana …unfortunately she gets frustrated with apps cus she doesn’t understand how they work. Lol.. but later on I’ll post her collection of plants.. it’s like a little jungle in the living room. A few weeks ago I commented on a peace lily post on her behalf. She has a few of those.
New growth!!
@Megan ours are both growing!!
@RJG yasssss
Omg amazing!
@BJoyce thanks B! How are your cacti doing this week?
My baby snake has been seeming to grow so fast...I have started to take her profile pics with a tape measure 🀣🀣 It's a great #whatthesuccwednesday so far! So proud of my Lil snake plant baby πŸ₯°πŸ’–
@PlantEsteem it's so precious
Orchid cactus has been blooming for over a month.
@RJG OH thank you! She is so precious to me. My first "prop" if you will...put it together with no knowledge just intuition. Certainly have improved her life because of Greg! πŸ‘€ peep my gallery screenshot. Probably my favorite part of the app....tracking progress!!! #gregfeedback πŸ₯°πŸ₯°
@BeeBalm Ooooo....pretty.... such vibrant red! 😍🀩😍
@NMazon you could always put her plants in your oasis and name them "Mom-so and so" to keep them together. Could make her a # too so you could track her comments more. She may like seeing her progress enough to try out this app stuff πŸ˜‰
Just a few of mine.
A combo sent to me by @tmbryant37
@KikiGoldblatt love your haworthias 😍
@PlantEsteem @NMazon our goal is also to make the useable by all. We would love to know her frustrations. 🫣
I made a succulent/cactus bench for my front porch so they can be sun-adjacent but not get direct sun β˜€οΈ
@BeeBalm this flower is stunning Teresa!
@KikiGoldblatt these are stunning! How are you doing this week ?
@VeganPlantLady omg I love this! Cant wait to see it in like 2 weeks!
Couldn’t hold out till Friday. New leaves and new branch forming.
I like that
What kind of cactus is that
The first one what kind of cactus is that
My Delta Dawn Aloe is giving me da babies!!
@Figglet you'll just have to share again on Friday 🫣🌚 looking great!!

In my picture @clairsheart ?
@Roserade WHOA the coloration!!
@RJG yeah she’s really a cool aloe. Definitely an impulse buy when I saw it!
@Colin have you seen @Roserade's aloe? Also there's a lot of good stuff this week!
Y'all I just went and looked and I have Track Progress shots from last year @PlantyPlanter @jcPlantProper @fabiana @BJoyce
Woooo! Haven’t participated in #WhatTheSuccWednesday because I’ve been so deep in the aroids that I’ve been neglecting my succs 😭😭 It’s okay tho cause they’ve been thriving without me BUT I need help with Ellie πŸ₯²

She’s been struggling with some type of fungal infection (?) that causes these spots on her leaves and if I don’t go in and wipe with soapy and isopropyl water, those leaves would be gone within 2 days. I think what caused the problem was MiracleGro potting mix and I’ve yet to repot her, BUT she’s also been growing so much and I don’t want to disturb her. What do I do? πŸ˜…πŸ₯²πŸŒΏπŸ€

πŸ“Έ 1-3 pics are Ellie, last two are my pruned #BonsaiSuccs that are growing FAST 😌
@RJG Beautiful! I’ll be honest I didn’t know cactuses had such pretty flowers πŸ₯°πŸ₯°
My mom gave me this bad boy last week. She's getting ready to move out of state so she's been purging all her plants.
@RJG Love your tracking shots! Sorry....wasn't trying to step on toes....just trying to get @NMazon 's mom a way "in" to the app.πŸ˜“
@kscape can you gimmie a close up on a spot? πŸ‘€
@RJG here’s several πŸ’€ omg it’s sort of worse in the back 🫣
@fabiana I think that because they make you work so dang hard for them they deliver the goods. 🀩

Omg @starfirejem it's H U G E. how long has she had it? Score any other good plants?
@PlantEsteem you were helping!! Don't apologize. We'll get @NMazon's mom on Greg somehow πŸ€ͺ
@kscape this is scale! Is she isolated already? Your doing the right thing scrubbing them off. But you have to get literallllly all of them. And it's probably best once you notice them slowing down (hopefully you're already noticing this) to repot just to make sure they aren't in the soil.
@RJG uhhh you can say that 🌚

I’ll repot her tho, I’ve been pushing it back because scared she won’t grow, but this soil is 🚫 she was actually worse before but I’ve been at it for WEEKS. πŸ₯²
@kscape scale is super super tough to kill. I fought it on a prickly pear I had for ever and eventually just took off some baby pads that were untouched and started anew. But that new baby is the non variegated one in my post today!
@RJG I KNEW IT! i was stalking and I was like hmmm πŸ€”πŸ€” thats the same cactus πŸ’€

But okokok. This will be a battle between Ellie & I vs. Scale πŸ₯² I will repot her and keep cleaning her leaves if I must. She’s finally starting to look like a full cherry blossom branch and I’d like to keep it that way πŸ₯ΊπŸŒΈ

Also, thank u for #WhatTheSuccWednesday. If it didn’t exist, I would not be repotting her 😭🀍
@kscape she's gonna be a stunner and stronger for it. And you're instincts and skills as a plant parent continue to grow!

The app works!
Just ordered a opuntia rufous cactus
@RJG i feel so embarrassed πŸ’€ her roots are NOT what I was expecting πŸ₯²
@clairsheart did you mean rufida? If so that's so cool looking!
Beans in the sun. I’m in the photo-shoots-for-their-plants’-profile-pic-on-Greg club. This one is super satisfying
Big Spike
Look what arrived today! It will hold lots of coffee. Thanks so much. I love it. πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š
Wow! Love it πŸ₯°
#SucculentLove #PlantAddict #HappyPlants #WhatTheSuccWednesday This beauty was my mother-in-laws plant that she left outside and ignored. When she passed away, 11 years ago, I adopted it. Now she is Loving Life 😊 and I am Loving her πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸͺ΄
#NewGrowth #lovesuccs #WhatTheSuccWednesday. This is Gaga with her new baby πŸ’–πŸ’–
Whoaaa that is such a cool cactus!!
@ivysaur this is suchhhh a good shot Luna!
@Rara23 his shape is so cool. It's almost entrancing to look at

omg @Pegster congrats!!!!

Thanks @Seangplants22 !!
@AnnMarie420 I love these arrangements! They all look so happy!

It's one of my favorite @WickedValkyrie !
@RJG that cactus is just amazing 🀩
I may have to rename Thor to Babies Galore. It's still doing well together. Any insight as to when to separate them? #growingsuccs #gasteria
@RJG I'm not sure how old that one is. She's also giving me her giant mother of thousands, and several aloe plants that I will likely reduce down and keep the pots. Currently taking the MOT home right now. There was a storm this week and it suffered quite a bit of damage from wind, rain, and hail, but should look better after a repot, new stakes, and a trim.
@jcPlantProper so pretty 😍
I finally did it! I got a cactus! Well 2 cacti!!
And yup... one stuck me as soon as I got home... seriously contemplated taking her butt back! πŸ˜©πŸ€£πŸ’šπŸŒ±
And I got this other swirly dude! No idea what any of their names are cuz box stores suck πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ
Oh.. wait... there are names.. the pink guy that poked me is an Echinocereus rubrispinus and the paddle looking on says opuntia microdasys albata. No idea if these names go into #greg so #whatthesucc
And the swirly one just says #succulent πŸ™„ so please help me out #succulentsquad
Put little "coop" in a big 4inch terracotta pot, finally. And I'm glad I did; roots were getting ready to burst out of it's container! Put the cute pot cozy around it and I couldn't be happier. :) not too shabby for my very first succulent.
My baby plant is still in quarantine, recovering from mealybugs. I couldn’t get the mealybugs to die on my props, so I had to let them go. My ghost plant props are still doing great, though. I have this feeling plant won’t make it, but I’m trying anyway.
Wow!! Too cool πŸ₯°
@ToxicPunkWitch it’s Adorable!!
They grow up so… slow πŸ₯²
