Can someone please help me to identify my succulent?
Comments (7)Lolllll, at this time of year, I always seem to burn up my plants, so I like to keep most of them in bright shade. I'm also negligent when it comes to watering, so bright green with a bit of blush is what I get wit has this plant. I'm happy with that ☺ Yes, I do keep my plants under lights in the winter time. This year I'm setting up a bank of LED's. Nothing fancy mind you, I tend to be rather lazy & repotting, occasional watering & inorganic mix is the extent of my care. I haven't been at this very long, my oldest plant is probably 6 or 7 years old. My aim is simply to keep these lovely textured plants as long as possible. I have recently stopped replacing plants that don't perform well for me....See MoreNeed help identifying cacti/succulent+how to care for them
Comments (3)1. Looks like Crassula ovata aka: Jade. I also see Senecio jacobsenii for some reason. Could you take it out of the pot and take another pic:)? 2. Mammillaria what species I gave no clue. For some reason when it comes to finding the species of a Mammillaria I have zero patience;). 3. Can't really tell. Pretty young still. Maybe a Trichocereus:). 4. Looks like Opuntia monacantha monstrose:). For all your plants it's pretty much the same. Use a gritty mix since it's so rainy where you live. I would use a mix with zero organic material. Keeping in a greenhouse would be good. Make sure there is good airflow in the greenhouse:). If you are able to keep dry I would water them once every 2 weeks. The jade looking plant maybe once a week. If any of the plants are in lots of humidity you may have to adjust. Make sure the mix is dry before you water again. Check almost all the way to the bottom of the pot. Not just the top layer. You can use a little wooden skewer. Push the skewer down to the bottom and let sit for a min. When you bring it up and the wood is damp. No need to water:). Goodluck:) Oh ya make sure the pots have drainage holes:)....See MoreCan you help me identify these succulents?
Comments (1)I do not think they are all the same: small pot in the center looks different, and the big one on right with what looks like an inflorescence I am not sure...others may to be slightly light deprived xG. 'Fred Ives'....See MoreNeed to identify my succulent/cacti
Comments (2)Austrocylindropuntia subulata f. monstrosa A little advice;). Your little cactus is on the search for more light. This is why the new top growth is weak and skinny. Easy fix slowly acclimate to stronger light:)....See MoreTrine Rask
