#WhatTheSuccWednesday Digest

πŸ‘‹πŸ» Hey there #GregGang,

I hope you've had a wonderful week so far and that your #Succulents and #Cacti woke up on the right side of the bed today! And if not, too bad because it's their day in the spotlight.

🀳🏻 Drop photos of any #Cactus or #Succulent you've taken from the last week.

πŸ’š Check out all the content your fellow #Greggers post and like and comment on your favs! Plants are more fun with friends!

🌡 Succulent Digest 🌡

πŸ‘€ Did you see @ILoveMyPlants incredible new Crassula lycopodioides??? It certainly lives up to its more common name, Watch Chain! I can't wait to see how Medusa's Love Child (great name) thrives in your care! Post πŸ‘‰πŸ» https://greg.app/post/2IIRXT

🀩 My favorite part of any plant journey is simply figuring out how to make your plants happy. @ehery thanks for sharing your triumphs! More photos πŸ‘‰πŸ» https://greg.app/post/3FMEAA

😍 @learydarrel momma Perle is clearly well taken care of and i'm sure will grow into her new home. The colors are just fantastic! More πŸ‘‰πŸ» https://greg.app/post/WM1B8

🌼 Of course I couldn't miss @YammieOf3's #BloominSuccs. The yellow flowers on the featured photo are so vibrant. Check the post for more πŸ‘‰πŸ» https://greg.app/post/1I02AX

πŸ‘ŒπŸ» @botanicalarts this is quite the ensemble! Definitely keep us posted as it fills in more and more! Post πŸ‘‰πŸ» https://greg.app/post/2ANUSZ

Can't wait to see what y'all have this week in the comments! 🫑

Thank you for the shout out. One of my cacti is up to something. Its got 2 new growths on it and it is getting tall and pointy, this blue aloe I repotted the pictures don’t do the color any justice, I have I believe it’s a piece of prickly pear cactus with new growth finally and my variegated fairy washboard and plain fairy washboard
@RJG thanks for the shout out Drew!!! I have 2 more cacti getting ready to show some love . If anyone needs some shade to protect your outdoor beauties from the scorching sun, I’d highly recommend this 9 X 15 umbrella AECOJOY 15x9ft Double-Sided Patio... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083KH6JTB?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share It definitely needs to be closed when there’s wind.
Happy #whatthesuccwednesday!!! 😁
Here is my #lifesavercactus named CactusPoint (by my 4 year old daughter lol.) he has grown so many arms since I've gotten him, it's wild! I am hoping I can get him to bloom, we will see!! 😁
My Lobivia Arachnacantha is getting ready to bloom, and I'm totally 🀞 that it completes the process and doesn't shrivel up & die. @learydarrel
Here’s a picture of my babies taken just yesterday… #WhatTheSuccWednesday
@YammieOf3 LETS GOOOOO
@JesssJungle oh that's dope
@UltraKoreanfir I'll be on the look out next week 🫑
@SoundlyFittonia those should fill out nicely John!
Everything is beautiful! Great job, everyone!
So many babies to root
@YammieOf3 Yongie what a nice set up! Very nice.. πŸ« πŸ˜πŸ˜‰πŸ€—
@learydarrel oh my goodness they are very nice and healthy Darrell! ☺️
Gorgeous 😍
Please excuse the dirty window, but even under foggy conditions and a less than ideal pot (switching to terracotta soon), Cheese has sprouted a flower!

Just goes to show where your plants are sourced from makes a huge difference in their ability to thrive in their new home. The Plant Shop rocks!!
My succulents
Here are some of my babies. I have desert roses growing bigger and stronger every day, many Echeveria being propagated, my Neon Breakers that is flowering and my new Black Rose succulents that are so lovely. ☺️
I’ve got so much growth and fun things happening with my prickly babies! Blizzard aloe is blooming, gymnocalycium is blooming again, another gymnocalycium is budding, medusas head has lots of little red spots which I don’t know what they are but it’s pretty and my pencil cactus that I started from a cutting a few months ago is getting new growth.
Yes !! Your plants are so gorgeous !! πŸ₯°
Currently waiting for my succies to arrive in the mail!!! I’ve got my terracotta and soil mixture ready!
And I couldn’t leave out this old man. He’s huge and puts out 4 flowers every year. I’ve had him forever.
@JauntyGrandfir wow!! Awesome babies.. I don’t have desert roses yet.. but I would like to propagate some one of these days..πŸ˜πŸ˜€
Here are my babies sunbathing, Flapjack β€œUlysses S.” and my Watch Chain β€œSahara”! #SuccWednesday#
@HeyNicePlants I agree, your plant is beautiful!
@YardOvalsedge Thank you! They are very easy to grow. I’m not sure about propagation because I grew them from seed. They took only three days to sprout! I guess they were very fresh - lucky for me! I hope you get to enjoy them πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°
@SweetAzurebluet The best of friends!
Big Shoutout to everyone, great job…. Plantlovers!!!
@Popcornjoness What kind did you get?!
@JauntyGrandfir Wow! That Black Rose guy is so cool!
@Looloo Thank you! They are dormant in the summer so very shriveled and will open so big and beautiful in the late full/ winter. I can’t wait to see them in their full glory.
@JauntyGrandfir How funny! I assumed the opposite. I’ll have to look into those.
@JesssJungle So cute just hanging out
Hello everyone I need help please what should I do with my sunflowers the leaves a turning brown.. thanks
@JauntyGrandfir no idea growers choice
@Looloo lol it was a surprise to me as well! They belong to a group called Aeonium. I think I want a Kiwi one next.
@Popcornjoness That’s going to be an awesome surprise. Do let us know!
@RJG Thanks for the shout out , I just keep staring at her she’s so cute . It’s wonderful having such a cool team to work with ! We got the awesome #GregPlantShop which brought her to me ! Nice work to you all

@UltraKoreanfir awesome sauce
@CourtlyKingfern thank you
My Torch cactus has just been repotted! He’s still building his roots into the pot soil, but he’s doing great!
Aloe has been reproducing too. It’s got little babies
The pigs ear, soaking up sun
@Popcornjoness I really like your pastel planters with the name tags. Such a cute and personal touch.
@JauntyGrandfir thank you! Amazon finds
@Popcornjoness Can’t go wrong with Amazon. I can’t wait until prime day (16-17th). I’m going to buy a bunch of new planters!
@JauntyGrandfir great minds! My saved for later is strictly plant related πŸ₯°πŸ₯° I’m ready checking out at midnight
@Popcornjoness πŸ™ŒπŸΌ Lol yass! Likewise! Can’t wait to see what you get!
@JauntyGrandfir I have a kiwi and I love it so much I bought another kind, super bang, which promptly died on me in 2 weeks. The kiwi has such pretty pink, yellow and greens. She’s in her full glory right now but it’s pouring outside so can’t get a photo.
my beautiful babies😍πŸ₯°
@PricklyThumb omg please post me a photo when the weather is convenient! They are so beautiful. I’m sorry that your other one didn’t make it. I’ll have to see if that one Is also in my book.
Look who came out to say hi ❀️❀️
@AvidDesertrose
Is the 4th photo a Senecio? (Not sure I spelled it right).
@JauntyGrandfir here is my kiwi. She’s got 5 babies on her which I’ll chop/prop at some point.
@Boymom-plantmom what is that? It’s so pretty in a freaky way. But also kind of unnerving πŸ˜‚
@PricklyThumb I am definitely envious right now. It is absolutely stunning!! So healthy!! I’m so excited for your pups, too. Looks like I’ll be ordering one tonight. Lol thank you for sharing!
@PricklyThumb hahahahaha lifesaver cactus
I just broke down yesterday and separated my aloe. Ended up with 6 fairly big pieces, about 10 littles with roots, and a pile to callous!
The succulents all loved the 🌧️, but are now looking forward to 6 days of sun and heat. β€œMean frog” has a new pup, too. 😊 But the dual Amazon trucks, back to back in front of the house, that’s just weird! 🧐 πŸ˜…
Omg I’m not done look!!!! And this other guy I have had a min and just love the growth!
@SwiftMedeola hahahahahahaha that’s hilarious
@Boymom-plantmom, ikr? Maybe some clandestine encounter? Hey whatever, made me smile! πŸ˜† More power to them! πŸ˜πŸ‘Š
@learydarrel Darn man stop showing all these beauties ! 🀩I want the fairy wishbone . All your stuff is amazing .
@Boymom-plantmom Do you like cactuses 🌡? Your collection is awesome
@ILoveMyPlants thank you!! I love cacti and especially the weird strange ones lol! Did you see my Oscar?
Put all my cactus in one bowl!
For #SuccWednesday I’ve got a bunch of new growth, babies, and flowers coming in πŸ₯° My Prickly Pear has almost doubled in the last week or so and I love the baby Bunny Ears 🐰
@Seymour oh these are dope
@YardOvalsedge hey Fe! welcome! This post is mostly about succulents. I would make a new question post with the picture of your sunflower and people will be able to help. Include a community tag like #HappyPlants or #PlantAddict and more people will see it
@RJG see what you did @Seymour you even got @RJG making me scroll πŸ“œπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
@Boymom-plantmom I am hoping we might get threading soon 🫣

@RJG Can’t resist adding my new little succulent flowering ever slightly as I woke this morning. And a few more care guides helping me prepare for a podcast episode on succulents
πŸ’šβ€οΈπŸ’œ
Moved into my apartment yesterday! I got some of my succulents moved but not all! Pics of my pack porch so far, and potting area! Also pics of some blooms! #WhatTheSuccWednesday

@PricklyThumb love that Kiwi plants and its colors! πŸ™ƒπŸ˜πŸ€©
@Boymom-plantmom I had to order a lifesaver cactus afterr seeing yours and reading that the flowers smell like rotting meat. Both my kids told me I couldn’t get one. I said watch me πŸ˜‚
@PricklyThumb hahahahahaha the life savor doesn’t smell that’s the Carrion! I have a video of my son smelling it last year. His face was hilarious
@Boymom-plantmom oh boo. Well don’t tell my kids because I still want to horrify them.
