My parents got me this new guy this week as a thank you for watching their dog for a month while they were out of town.
Yeah Taylor does!!! Love that planter!! And #whatthesuccwednesday!!! I got a new cache of succs yesterday. But the only one I squealed for was......the lithops. @RJG @Lithopslover @Jana85 Does it hurt when you get taken over by the lithops army?? Cause I just felt joy and love when I saw him yesterday...... my others have all woken up and dewrinkled.....๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿคฏ I didn't think I could do it...
@PlantEsteem don't miss @Jana85 on the #LithopsArmy
@RJG Iโ€™ll show off my Aquamarine when I get it today. Iโ€™m excited! @vvvelo has one and I fell in love ๐Ÿฅฐ with it.
@jcPlantProper ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€ you know where to find us when you get home!
Look at this lil cactus dude I got in yesterday @RJG ....I got some "cold hardy" succs....and he was there.....
@PlantEsteem a little small opuntia! They're a bit more hardy! Would keep it in a pot though so you can bring it inside when it freezes
@SirLiquorice I'm certain you have contributions ๐Ÿ‘€
@RJG I can't do that to him....too cute!!!!! My rock wall is apparently a dangerous place....he is staying inside with me! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿฅฐ
Look at these colors! ๐Ÿคฉ๐ŸŒˆ
@vvvelo omg it's gorgeous Vladimir ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ
Check it out we're twinning!
@brittnee love it!!! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ
Ooooo... @vvvelo !!!๐Ÿคค๐Ÿคคpretty colors.....
Morning! My #bunnyearscactus is pushing out little balls of.. stuff...๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ lol
My string of buttons has all these little babies growing on it!
Ok let's see if my pics post ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
@ManyLime those stuffs should grow into new pads!!
@PlantEsteem I think that's the cactus I found on the floor outside of a store! No idea what it was but it was laying there looking all sad and like it got hit by a truck. I forgot to get a pic of it.


Ohhhh but I almost forgot to share my new girls! My new SOH!
I named the variegated UNICORN @LatiTish84
Awww....poor cactus!!! Glad you saved him from more rouge trucks!!๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿฅฐ @ManyLime I got a SOH this week too!!! ๐Ÿคฏ yours is fantabulous ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
@RJG that's so cool! They barely look attached so it will be interesting to watch it grow!
@PlantEsteem I got both on etsy for $16! The regular SOH is at least a foot long. I was shocked! ๐Ÿ˜ณ
That is great!!!! What a good score! I love things that trail.....then I can make planty hairdos! ๐Ÿคฃ @ManyLime
Ahhhh... @ManyLime I missed the bunny ears before!!! Awww.....what a happy lil cactus๐Ÿฅฐ
@PlantEsteem ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
@LatiTish84 definitely! They are so cute
@PlantEsteem yay! So awesome!!
OMG!!! @theplantymammy I love that alien flower.....so vibrant. Your succs love you so much!!!
@theplantymammy that is one cool looking flower!
I NEED HELP ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@kscape ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€
@LatiTish84 THE LIVING OSHA VIOLATION ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€
๐Ÿ“ธ( in order)

Ellie is Scale victim: changed soil, granules, bright light, fungicide, watered a day or two ago after not watering for 8 days ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I left (also scale victim) Anakin a little too long in water (over night) so Iโ€™ve been having my fan on so his soil can dry out a lil, but idk what else to do ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Hereโ€™s the rest of Tumbles that fell and had to repot ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€
Forgot Ellie ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
I want this planter.
@Kscape what's wrong?
@Kscape ooooh...๐Ÿ˜ฌ
@PlantEsteem lol some of them ๐Ÿคช
@vvvelo WOOAH ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜
@ManyLime๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ i hate when that happens!!
Happy #WhatTheSuccWednesday! Spike just passed his name card in height after being under his new plant light for 8 days! Also my SOP is looking way juicer than before. Lol I think itโ€™s the plant lights. Also just popped this aloe vera cutting in #PothosWater will see how it does! ๐Ÿ˜Š
Letโ€™s all be excited about this variegated elephant bush with all these white leaves!! Found it on clearance yesterday. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
@jcPlantProper he don't have to tell. Im telling. :dialing 800 plant abuse:
@jcPlantProper wait.... hangs up phone.... you pick my plants out... he gonna have to fend for himself. He will be aiight.. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
@fabiana Look at that SOP go!! Like they are filling with helium!๐Ÿคฉ @Ehlane woah!!! I live your elephant bush SO much more....๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
Happy #WhatTheSuccWednesday from three of my favorites ๐Ÿ’š
Whoa @ivysaur what are those?!? They are all cool and beautiful!
@starfirejem awww heโ€™s so adorable!! I have a baby groot too!!
@ManyLime unidentified, haworthia cooperi, Dinteranthus pole-evansii :)
@ivysaur very very nice Succs!
@ivysaur those all look awesome but that 3rd pic is extra cool. Havenโ€™t really seen many like that one.
Has anyone ever had their bunny ears grow these weird appendages? I just noticed them last night.
Oh @ivysaur ....love these. What is the cute button guy??๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ
@ivysaur ....then I read the other comments...๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃsee @ManyLime I can't keep up either....
I repotted all three varieties of elephant bush I have into one bowl. Hopefully they keep on thriving!
Awww @starfirejem groots hair is perfect๐Ÿ˜
@ESylvanus there's something I absolutely love about elephant bush. Mostly I think it's the thick stems. Love your planter!
@PlantEsteem thatโ€™s the dinteranthus pole-evansii, or โ€œgolf ball succulentโ€ :p it has a texture like a golf ball!
@RJG last night after midnight the flower did end up closing all the way. Took the pics at about 12:20. Now this morning the flower looks like itโ€™s starting to open again. Not sure if this will be the last day it flowers or if it will also bloom tomorrow
@ivysaur omg I need that one now for my office. I work at a very popular mini golf/waterpark family entertainment place.
1. I need that disco ball planter!! 2. Whatโ€™s #MeetRJG ? 3. I forgot what 3 wasโ€ฆ๐Ÿซฃ
You can meet @Rjg over the interwebs @Yeeha234 I'll be there Friday.....would love to virtually meet you....๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”
@RJG every day must be #WhatTheSuccWednesday for you with that disco ball planter ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿชฉ #succulentparty all day, ery day
OMG!!! @ivysaur Need it ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ I love textures....and petting the plants! It might be doomed in my care.... @starfirejem you definitely need one on your desk....it's PERFECT!!!๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ
@ESylvanus this looks great....once it settles in and starts growing.....ooooo.....pretty....๐Ÿคค๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ I can't wait to see future updates!!!
@PlantEsteem *squeals like a four year old girl* that is a natural response to seeing a lithops and as stated before it wonโ€™t hurt, just calmly wait for them to begin to whisper affirmations to you all day, and yours dewrinkled from watering?! Your already a better lithops caretaker than me!!
@Lithopslover I honestly watered a little cause I didn't want them to explode......and waited...my ac is in that room so I knew it would be 68 degrees so they could actually do their drinking thing! You are right.....no pain just a ....fuller feeling in my chest....is my heart growing like in the grinch?? ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜‰
๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅฐ
@RJG this first pic was some lithops I rescued that were pretty much so damaged they looked dead and they probably wouldโ€™ve thrown them away. I bought it for $2 and now they grew new leaves and recovered. This is some of my lithops with new growth
@RJG this is one euphorbia I havenโ€™t posted. It was damaged and lost some leaves but itโ€™s better and recovering just fine now. Itโ€™s been inside under the grow lights and seems to be happy and rarely needs water since inside.
@RJG Check out the flower stalk on this swordfish aloe! #whatthesuccwednesday
@SirLiquorice omg life goals!!!
@McWifey it's so red ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
These are a couple more with a lot of new growth. My cabbage on a stick/Hawaiian desert rose keeps growing new leaves like crazy
@SirLiquorice did you see my moment this morning of Caleb? He got chewed by a rat or a squirrel. You can see the damage. I'm patiently waiting for him to put out pretty new leaves again.
My raindrop plant grew a branch that was broken off somehow so I put it in the pot with my bonsai crown of thorns and it has been growing since. The crown of thorns has been steadily flowering. And the dwarf prickly pear cactus has been growing a lot.
@RJG no I didnโ€™t see that yet. Have to look for that
I could also not be lazy and go take another picture @SirLiquorice ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜‚
What do I do about my succs ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@kscape what specifically do you need help with? It looked like you were taking the right steps!
@RJG Ellie is losing more and more leaves and does not look like she is getting better ๐Ÿ˜ฉ even thought about putting her out of her misery. I donโ€™t know what else to do ๐Ÿฅฒ
@kscape how were the roots when you repotted? Did you water when you repotted?
Got this little cutie for my birthday last month
@brittnee where did you get it?
The storm is about to get here. Can hear the thunder now. Clouds are already coming in. Flower wonโ€™t get any more sunlight today it appears.
My airocarpus that I got for free since it was damaged is slowly growing some new leaves in. It only had one small one. That one is now sticking out more and another is coming in barely. By next year you may not be able to tell it was damaged anymore
@RJG speaking of succulents look what just arrived at my door!!!
@RJG I won a giveaway from east Austin succulents so I bought something also and they shipped it together. Should be 5 total. I won 4 succulents they said. Donโ€™t recall what they are. Have to check
@SirLiquorice danget you had me thinking you were coming to town to pick it and me up on the way
@RJG is the same kind?
@AwesomePlants yeah those appear to be the same type
The free giveaway ones made it pretty much all in one piece. Looks like ups was a little rough with the box and broke the tallest one. I can just used some clonex rooting gel and try to grow roots on the broken piece now. Shouldnโ€™t be too difficult to save it Iโ€™m hoping
@AwesomePlants the same@as mine? Or are those two the same?
Yah @SirLiquorice and it'll likely branch from there
@RJG are they the same kind of plant? Just a little one?
@RJG @sarahsalith got this one in the mail today from east Austin succulents. I had never seen this one for sale ever so I had to get it. Itโ€™s another one that has flowers that smells like rotting meat. Should grow a vine similar to my elephants foot it sounds. http://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/SUCCULENTS/Family/Asclepiadaceae/32277/Matelea_cyclophylla#:~:text=Soil%3A%20In%20pots%20it%20needs,the%20branches%20have%20died%20back.
Iโ€™ll have two new ones to show off next week I hope. Some accidentally fell into my online shopping cart at Plant Desertโ€ฆ. ๐Ÿค”
@SirLiquorice oh WOW!! I'm gonna have to go check them out! Thank you for sharing!
@Roserade it's always weird how that happens
@Roserade planet desert is one of my favorite nurseries to buy from. So cool how they ship most in the pots. And they have the best customer service. They even went out of their way to ship with UPS and looked for plants for me to see if they had another one hiding somewhere even though it said out of stock
@SirLiquorice itโ€™s definitely awesome! Itโ€™s where my euphorbia Susannae prize came from. Iโ€™ve always loved succs and cacti, so happy to have an excellent source. And of course Greg friends who are BAD influences. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‚
You should also reach out to Gary Duke on instagram. He will video chat with you so you can shop unless youโ€™re able to stop by his house. He has an amazing collection. Some prize winning cacti and some over 100 years old. He wonโ€™t sell from his collection of those but he sells a lot of cool and harder to find cacti and prices are pretty inexpensive for most. His customer service is also awesome and he ships fast. He also wrote a book thatโ€™s useful that I also bought from him. https://instagram.com/garyduke53?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=. @Roserade
@SirLiquorice thanks my friend, thatโ€™s amazing!!!
That's so pretty @McWifey!!! @yeahwills love your lil cutie๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
@SirLiquorice I finally visited East Austin Succulents over the weekend and it was amazing! I will definitely be back
@Ehlane you should have let me know!! I live right there!
@Ehlane if you ever go to San Antonio also check out palm Buddha nursery. They have a super cool nursery and they sell much larger and older plants also. A lot of nurseries donโ€™t have plants as old or as big as them. But they also have tiny ones also. Thatโ€™s maybe my favorite locally. But also rainbow gardens is amazing and they have two locations here. Iโ€™ve only gone to one so far but itโ€™s at least 5 acres of plants everywhere. Nothing as big as palm Buddha but they have a lot of cool stuff. And they stock all the plant supplies like soil and sprays and whatever else you can think of. Palm Buddha doesnโ€™t sell pots and accessories like rainbow does. But they are both my favorites here. Both have so much to choose from itโ€™s overwhelming sometimes. I need to go to east Austin succulents ones day. Itโ€™s funny I won 4 succulents from them and bought one and I havenโ€™t even been there before. Lol. And itโ€™s cool they do an instagram live auction every Sunday. That would be cool if they were able to do that on the Greg app. ๐Ÿ‘€ @RJG
@RJG next time!! I went with my daughter, and we decided itโ€™s a very good thing that itโ€™s not near our house!
@Ehlane it's like less than 5 miles. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ™ƒ
@PlantEsteem haha Lithops definitely have that effect on people! @RJG Iโ€™m totally down with #LithopsArmy, because if you have one Lithops, pretty soon you want an entire army of them!
Agreed @Jana85 .....the lithops definitely make you want an army of them!๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿคฃ
@PlantEsteem thank you!!!
