@A.J. · Answer

Cactus Bowl. Top of mother thousands  climbing aloe. Silver squill and I am not sure. Finally I don’t know if it’s a succulent actually but I recently acquired a baby string of turtles 🐢

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@ESylvanus 😂 that’s so awesome.  I haven’t seen a cat pot with a tail succulent like that before.

@SirLiquorice · Answer

Thanks @RJG for the mention.  This is the one I really hope perks up soon.  The other one you posted already looks pretty good.  Just needs more leaves.  But this other one was even flowering.  Just looks rough after being in the box for so long.

@SirLiquorice · Answer

This one is still blooming a lot right now.   Noticed a single ant exploring one of the flowers.  Didn’t see it until looking at the pics closer just now.

@HolyHollyHawk · Answer

I introduce my monster jade, she is was rescued from garage sale in which I was informed she was a wedding present in the 1970’s…. Is that even possible?! I love her dearly!

@SirLiquorice · Answer

This one only stopped blooming for a couple days.  It’s been blooming like crazy since winter ended.  It ran out of flowers but now already has more.  I wonder if it’s because I used thunderhead potting mix for this one.  It’s had some crazy explosive growth in such a short time.  I am having to be very careful with watering since the drainage isn’t as good.  But the growth is insane.  From September 2021 until now the growth doesn’t even look like it’s the same cactus anymore.  You can see in the pictures. The most recent pic from today compared to older pictures and compared to  how it looked when I first got it and repotted it.  I put it in a larger pot than I normally would and used a rich soil that’s normally for plants more like tomatoes.  It says cacti and succulents on the bag of soil but it needs more rocks and perlite to add drainage for most cacti.  I decided just to try it since it was only a $4 cactus from the gas station and now it might be my coolest cactus of them all.  I did not expect it to be this awesome.

@HolyHollyHawk · Answer

@HolyHollyHawk better photo!!

@SirLiquorice · Answer

This was a little while back when it was really showing off.  If anyone wants a cactus that flowers all the time look for one of these for sale.  This may be the most prolific bloomer of the mamillarias

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@HolyHollyHawk that jade is awesome.  Crazy to find one that old like that at a garage sale!!!

@KDkat3 · Answer

I was outside putting the pool Vac away and noticed through the window I have my first blooms!

A smaaall portion of my collection lol

@joeblowricky · Answer

My little guys

@joeblowricky · Answer

😁

@KDkat3 · Answer

@SirLiquorice I pulled it out of the window last night to show my husband.  It’s got so many blooms on it.  I’m shocked.  It was droopy today so it’s currently bottom watering.  I guess it likes that west window 🤷‍♀️ when it’s done blooming so I cut the tall “stalks”?

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@KDkat3 yeah I would probably move it back to the window it is used to.  And I wait to cut the old flower stems.  Once all the flowers are completely gone then I’ll cut them.

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@KDkat3 just be sure not to overwater.  The flower stems may droop some due to weight.  Check the leaves on the bottom for signs of dehydration or shriveling.  If you overwater you can get mealybugs all over the plant. Including on the flower stems.  So just be cautious and don’t water unless you think it really needs it.  I have learned that the hard way myself

@KDkat3 · Answer

@SirLiquorice yikes!! It did have lots of dry leaves on the bottom of all 3 so I removed some of those that came off easily, gave it a lil water and put it back in the window.

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@KDkat3 it looks pretty good.  It might have needed some water.  It will probably be okay.  Just wait for a good amount of time to water again.  And a fan nearby can help the soil dry faster.  If mealybugs do appear just make sure you don’t water again for a long time.  If there’s not many you can just remove them with tweezers.

@PurpleSucculent · Answer

@KDkat3 which aloe is that?

@PurpleSucculent · Answer

@SirLiquorice mine is blooming too! I’ve only had it a couple of weeks, so I haven’t seen any growth. I love all of the blooms! Do you know how long it will bloom?

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@PurpleSucculent which one the mammillaria?  Those will usually bloom for a few days.  Flowers open and close every day for nighttime and daytime.  Many other cacti only bloom for one day.  Some only two.  And some only bloom once at night.  But certain mammillaria and gymnoclaycium will bloom for a few days.  Flowers last much longer.  I have some that have awesome flowers but it sucks they only bloom once.  And if you miss it then you have to wait for entirely new flowers to form.  Like this one.  Awesome flowers but it only lasted that day so I had to take a bunch of pictures right away before they were gone.

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@PurpleSucculent this is one that blooms for a few days.  Flowers last much longer than others and it gets way more flowers way more often.  It’s still blooming like crazy ever since it got here recently.

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@PurpleSucculent this one also only flowers once.  I was kinda too late taking pictures and it was closing already.

@PurpleSucculent · Answer

@SirLiquorice yes, I was talking about the Rose Pincushion cactus that you helped me ID.

@PurpleSucculent · Answer

@SirLiquorice also those cacti blooms that you just posted are so pretty!

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@PurpleSucculent yeah that one should flower for you more than a lot of others.  All of my different mammaillaria all seem to bloom for a few days or more.  That’s what’s awesome about mamms.

@KDkat3 · Answer

@PurpleSucculent it was labeled snowflake aloe with a lot of pink sun stress color

@PurpleSucculent · Answer

@KDkat3 I have a Christmas Carol aloe. I really like the white contrasting with the pink on yours.

@KDkat3 · Answer

@PurpleSucculent I have a Christmas carol too! It’s also super pink from the sun.  I was worried my window was too intense for them but they seem to like it!

@Thesearemykids · Answer

Thanks for the mention! I love all these photos - especially the ones of blooming cacti!!

@YammieOf3 · Answer

@julesplants I have yet to be successful propagating a snake plant. How are you doing it? Please share 💚

@julesplants · Answer

@YammieOf3 I actually put them each with a pothos cutting! They say pothos create their own rooting hormone so it helps slower growing plants root a bit faster. Its in front of a south facing window. I only changed the water about twice. I mostly just top it off. One snake cutting has been going for two months now and two others only a little over a month !

@YammieOf3 · Answer

@julesplants thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely give this a try.

@julesplants · Answer

@YammieOf3 of course!! Good luck to you!!

@YoungFreesia · Answer

My new baby & soon to be babies.  #WhatTheSuccWednesday #Succulents #Propagation

@KDkat3 · Answer

@ESylvanus my son is losing his mind over this. He wants me to find a pot like that so we can do the same 🤣

@ESylvanus · Answer

@KDkat3 I found it on Amazon! They come in a few colors, and technically there is also a matching drip tray! The drip tray for mine didn’t survive shipping, but since I’m using it for the succulent and don’t water a ton, I’m not overly concerned about it 😄

@KDkat3 · Answer

@ESylvanus I’ll have to look! I should have known. Amazon has everything lol

@DanDeLión · Answer

I just noticed these adorable lil pups growing out from Darling Nikki, my sansevieria night owl!😍
