Oooh Iβm contributing today! π€ͺ Iβm always in awe of you succulent experts. I have a few base models but I keep quiet most of the time.
I was gifted these three little babies. Actually wondering if I need to chop this #HenAndChicks mama, or chop and let it callous to start again? Thoughts?
Iβll have to repot the jade soon and maybe the #PearlEcheveria too.
Let me know, geniuses of Greg! (And thanks Drew for all you do!) π±βοΈβ€οΈ

@KikiGoldblatt wow! I didnβt know there was a trailing kind! πππ I need to look up what they look like when they get huge. People keep gifting me jade and I do really well with them. Maybe I need to level upβ¦
SOH that I propped over the last several weeks, and a few pretties from my succ garden #WhatTheSuccWednesday #GregGang #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth
I have so many blooms going on. Most of@these are all new and have not been added to the family tree yet. I just love when my cactusβs bloom. Itβs amazing how beautiful the blooms are for a plant that does not want affection. And of course I ran to the store for a specific fertilizer which I bought. Found the receipt and bag from store. But have no idea what happened to the fertilizer. Going crazy π trying to find it but going to have to break down and go to the store again. Hopefully they donβt have any new plants. π° πͺ΄ β€οΈ
My Aloe, my Love! Iβve had this plant for well over 6 or 7 years. I have to creatively use sticks to support dropping stalks, so they donβt die. #WhatTheSuccWednesday #SucculentLove
My Elephant tree heβs doing so good right now I guess when Iβm happy my plants are happy. When I got him he had one sad leafπ¬οΈπ±π #WhatTheSuccWednesday
#succulentsquad I need some help/ ideas from you'all! ππ½
I have this pot of random props that really took off.
I never thought all them would root and flourish this well! π€·π½ββοΈ
They obviously have very diff needs and are outgrowing their pot rn...
Also the growing medium is a micro bonsai mix (very fine particles & 100% soil-less) and now it's drying out every 4 days so I have to switch it up to something a little more moisture retaining.
Currently these guys are under a growlight, but some of them can go outside if needed.
In the mix is:
*Sedervia Serrento
*Jelly Beans
*Elephant Bush
*Variegated Bear Paws
*Oputina 'Thimble Cactus'
&...
*some sort of Graptopetalum β (forgot what leaf it came from)! π
Ideas for new living situations??
πΈ I'll post pics of some other succulent friends these guys could live with that need repots too in a comment below! ππ½
Thanks! πβ¬οΈ

@CalitoCarolina Cory, these are gorgeous! I hope you find your fertilizer, but it looks like you donβt need it
@roxyvivien they all look beautiful. Itβs now very rare that I pot things together just for the sake of not having to transplant. I didnβt go 100% soil-less because itβs honestly too hot over and humid over here to do that. I tried and my plant died. ππ½ I think I remember a list somewhere that helps you pair succulents together. Iβll see if I find it and revisit post to share.

@roxyvivien those look GREAT! They look like they'd do well together (except for the SOH).
Do you want to have them outside?

@RealSimpleMama is Definitely repot all three this spring - smaller/young succulents need reports sooner than mature ones to encourage growth...
The Semprevivum (Hens & Chicka could use a pruning of dead leaves now that it's coming out of winter dormancy... But also it looks like to could use way more light! That's why it's jumping out of the pot... The leaves should turn upward in a sun happy succulent. (see pic)
Your Jade looks quite happy and will appreciate a new pot.
Go for a taller terracotta one - their roots are bigger and need more room than most succulents & as they age they are very root rot prone so terracotta or cement is best.
Your Echeveria actually looks like a Sedervia Blue Elf (or similar) to to me??? @vvvelo or @fitsedum might be able to ID properly.
The Greg app identifies almost all Echeveria-esque succulents as E.
'Pearl' - but lost are definitely not! (sorry Greg) π
I'd repot that one too tho. Echeveria/Sedeveria will love a shallow terracotta or cement pot,they are very prone to rot too.
Lastly, I see one yellow leaf on the Echeveria (Hybrid) , I'd remove it and check to see if it's translucent or brown /black at the end, just to be safe! π€π½
Have fun during repot season plant mama! π π

@sarahsalith thanks! I don't have to have them all outside, they can stay with the growlight, but I do find that Graptopetalum loves outdoors and the Jelly Beans is 100% a sun hog! π
The Sedeveria Serrento will want more sun too to change to deep colors and unfortunately the Elephant Bush and Variegated Pear Paws will burn with the sun requirements of those others as I have a southwest facing deck π
Oh, the struggles of plant mom life! π

@fitsedum Thank you! I'd love that reference.
I have a book that gives me some ideas, it's called 'Succulent Obsession'....
Honestly, I spend way too much time thinking about my larger arrangements...
Because I love making them beautiful/functional...
Design-friendly and practical is a must... which ain't always easy lol π
Here's two of my recent fav new arrangements! πππ

@roxyvivien Why, oh why must you live so far away? I could learn so much from you. Absolutely beautiful arrangements Vivian!
Just trimmed up my kalanchoe and am going to popegate all of these pieces with lovely aerial roots! Happy #WhatTheSuccWednesday #SucculentSquad !!!
@SirLiquorice I adore Rainbow too!!! Iβve been buying online lately but the one on Thousand Oaks is my favorite nursery.
@roxyvivien maybe itβs time to experiment with some semi hydro succulents!!! π I know weβve talked about it and you mentioned wanting to try π₯° Iβve got quite a few going right now, this is just a couple shelves Iβve got going at the moment I can reach π I started mixing mediums, Pon, leca, perlite, and extra pumice and Iβm really liking the mixture, the perlite helps with the moisture for the succβs
@RealSimpleMama have you been to the bandera rainbow gardens? Itβs even better! And palm Buddha is another good nursery to check in town.
@SirLiquorice thank you! No I havenβt been to either, i mainly only know the Thousand Oaks Rainbow and then Milbergers.
@roxyvivien I vote you put some jelly bean babies together and move them outside. They LOVE the sun! The ones I have seem like they can't get enough! Lol
@RealSimpleMama milbergers is where I found my bigger pitcher plant. Thatβs the only place Iβve seen larger ones for sale locally. But definitely check out palm Buddha and the other rainbow location
I almost missed #WhatTheSuccWednesday. Here is my jade putting out new leaves. The first picture is a normal set of leaves. The second picture is a different set of leaves that are growing out at a weird angle.
@roxyvivien hereβs what I found. I hope that helps on #WhatSucculentsGrowBestTogether
