@TheOddAsity joy received

@MusicalRedmint · Answer

Wow these are some gorgeous blooms.  And some floofiness. 
No cacti here,  but I might have just bought some tiny tiny succulents again🤦‍♀️ formerly in 1,5 inch pots, but already repotted and sooo cute. The echeveria bug clearly has bitten me.

@GaryPoopins · Answer

Y’all do succulents so well ♥️

@MissAnn · Answer

I wound up getting this lil one at TJ’s and of course she was in the tiniest pot. The thing is I can’t keep buying all these pots when I have beautiful coffee mugs at home. I gave up coffee a few years ago and I feel so bad about not using my mugs. I don’t own power tools but I found a video that showed me how to add a drainage hole to my mug using only a hammer, nail, and a pot of water! I need to save wherever I can because I’m a die hard cyclist and that is a huge money suck! So here is my lil one in her new home which she seems to like so far

@Charli3Plant · Answer

These colors!!! 😍🩷😍🩷😍

Also, my Blue Atoll is getting HUGE. She started as a head cutting in a 2 inch pot, and she's exploded in the two months since I repotted her. 💙

@Charli3Plant · Answer

@MusicalRedmint Gorgeous! What varieties do you have?

@YammieOf3 · Answer

@MusicalRedmint OMG these are so adorable. HAPPY GROWING to you Susann. There’s no stopping you now.

@FunnySycamore · Answer

Pink diamond and echeveria purpursorum! Some of my top favorite succulents and my Elkhorn is growing like a weed!

@learydarrel · Answer

@RJG  it has 5 more growing on it

@MusicalRedmint · Answer

@Charli3Plant
I don't have a confirmed ID for any of them yet since the shop I got them at doesn't label them. But @Shellyjam50 already gave me some pointers in my recent post.  If any of you know anything,  feel free to chime in. 
@YammieOf3 I know,  right? I just love that vibrant green on the first one.  And I kind of hope, well "wish" rather, that they would stay this small forever.

@MusicalRedmint · Answer

@Charli3Plant @YammieOf3 @FunnySycamore
Those beautiful colors on all your echeverias. Just gorgeous.

@learydarrel · Answer

I'm celebrating that my #cactus Athena is getting better, greener. She was all yellow, no tint of green whatsoever. Thank you friends for your help and your input here on Greg.

@WarrantedMelon · Answer

@MissAnn, that is such a grand idea. I'm not a coffee girl either, but I love my tea. I also learned that little drainage hole trick from youtube. So easy.

@WarrantedMelon · Answer

Yesterday I did some chopping and reporting.

@WarrantedMelon · Answer

Baby Succs! I'm pretty sure they will grow more the more I stare at them. I might actually be able to grow succs with Greg's help! 🤞🤞🤞 #notdeadyet

@JenniferNoel · Answer

Some Hens and Chicks about to bloom any day now!! As I’m sitting on the edge of my seat, patiently waiting for these little guys to bloom, part of me doesn’t want it to happen because then I know the mother plants will die 😢 But it’s going to be pretty neat! It’ll be my first Hens and Chicks to bloom!

My Echeveria with a bunch of new growth coming in and a new favorite plant ~ The ice plant 🪴 🥰

@ehery ~ I’m sooo sorry to hear about your root rot! I had to repot my Red Prayer Plant last night because it got over watered! I guess it happens to all of us plant parents 😓

@Ms.Persnickety · Answer

#WhatTheSuccWednesday #CactusClique #SucculentSquad #GregGang Well just in time, Wednesday is coming to a close so before I miss another Hump day, I’ll let you in on what a few of my Succs have been up to! The first one is the Agave Montana, those serrated leaves look very intimidating, and are a bit dangerous. The next one is, yes you guessed it the Haworthia Zebra, I particularly like the green of the new leaves in the center. The Dorstenia Foetida is next, it keeps on blooming! The Crassula Ovata has some new growth as well, although it is not growing very fast. The next one is the small Paper Spine cactus, and if you look closely you will see a tiny new growth. I have had this cactus for just about one year and I must say it’s also a very slow growing cactus. Well so much for this week’s succulent growth. Hope everyone’s Succulents are growing and thriving. And your Week concludes as well as it has started!

@Seymour · Answer

@RJG  Hey Drew, I can never compete (or win) with my own poor limited succulent selection however I did see these succulentsts just now at a local shop

@JenniB81 · Answer

Spotted this lil cutie (the cylindrica) on my local box store for £2.99 and couldn't not! 🥰 The kids are all decorated in old fashioned branding, though I know she'll outgrowing it quickly enough! Lol it's one Sansevieria I didn't have... In other news my wee darlin "His Nubbs" which I've been told is a silver flame, but has been nothing but a nub since I got him! Lol 😂, had started to GROW! at least! I swapped him and my tough lady into me soul a few months ago and moved them to my succ room (the spare/ junk room! That will one day by my plant room come yoga studio... But for now it's away from the tropicals and all the humidity!! Lol 🤣) and they're both taking off!! Also my climbing aloe has pups 🥰 and my Thanksgiving Cactus (which was just a few tiny cuttings) had started to shoot as well!

Exciting times for the succs of the house lol 🙌💚🥂 xxx

P.s. plz excuse the lighting! Lol after several glorious days in the 20s (°C) it's now officially autumn in Scotland! Lol it's dark, it's wet and it sucks! ☔🤣 Xx

@learydarrel · Answer

@RJG hahaha it is soft but it will bite

@TidyTigerpear · Answer

#WhatTheSuccWednesday  got some new succulents, (string of buttons, elephant bush, and haworthia) also have some older babies pictured that have really thrived this summer so far. I’m so nervous for upcoming season changes and over wintering my babies 😅💭

@Dragonfly15 · Answer

Love sharing🥰🌵

@WarmStarsedge · Answer

Well, I have this really nice plant red Luna, I’m finding that like all succulents. It’s really easy to overwater them. I hope I haven’t damaged it but at any rate, it’s pretty cool little planned I like it ￼￼
