My lithops have been in various stages of splitting for the past few months. They have decided to show the process all in one pot! The potting medium is perlite.

After trying (and failing) to rescue an overwatered Echeveria plant from the supermarket, I sort of got addicted to succulents and went out and bought this one. I have no idea what Im doing but Im hoping starting with a healthy one will be a better introduction.

Gettin' too big and stretchy for its pot!

Hey everyone, I just got back from vacation and I'm super happy to see that the community didn't implode! Thank you all for being respectful while I was away and making my first mod experience a good one. I'll have to find a mod buddy before my next vacation 🤣.

It took a while, but it's back and flourishing. 😍 I'll give it another year or so and then start working on ramification and creating a canopy. I traded a cactus nursery a bunch of seeds from my euphorbia obesa pair for it in Feb '21 and it's grown so much!

One of my Little Jewels! Pachyphytum compactum

I don't actually have IDs on most of these, beyond Hatoria salicornioides, a couple of Rhipsalis, and two different holiday cacti. I don't collect desert cacti but their tropical cousins are delightful and have taken off like crazy since I moved them into this window.

I got this little Echeveria for free from a large supermarket giving them away. It is obviously in very poor condition but I wanted to try to nurse it back to health. Ive grown many things but succulents are not one of them. Looking for advice on how I might give this little guy the best chance possible.

First obvious problem is they overwatered the crap out of them. Currently letting it dry out next to my Aerogarden so it gets plenty of light.

Been trying to not scare these off to get some pictures for a while now! Was so happy with this one.

Should have probably put a part of that title down here, huh? ;)

Anyway, these were also purchased online, but that site shipsthem like that, with soil and in pots.

The store I got them from ships them dried out and with no soil, ready for re-potting. Hope they recover quickly and grow big and strong!

Nice jades just tossed on the sidewalk

There’s something about this one that I love so much. It’s a Haworthia kegani X cooperi var. venusta!

I don't know what they are but I think they are pretty nice.

So, here they are - getting sprayed in this heat might not be too bad, but I was worried about the mist hitting the cacti and killing them by overwatering ;)

Struggled with my Tokyo Sun from the beginning, was one of my first plants & I learned so much since then. The time period between the first and last photos are about 8 months!

A cute little Lophocereus Schlottii on the left, and a THICK Euphorbia Triangularis Cristata on the right (the little cactus behind is just photobombing, it's not attached).

Sadly he got a bit etiolated last winter, but this year he's going to get all the light and love so he can stay cute and pudgy :)
