Succulent IDs & care tips, please
Comments (2)Hey Xuan, You have some nice specimens there. =] #1 Unknown (probably Echeveria of some sort) #2 Echeveria Pulvinata - Plush Plant (maybe not exact match) #3 Aeonium Haworthii variegata #1 and #2 can enjoy part sun and some shade; Sunlight will keep the reddish tint. Indoors they will lose that reddish tint and will revert to a more green form which is up to your preference. #3 is good in a shaded spot or in a bright location in the home. Let the soil dry between waterings; don't keep too moist. I hope some of this helped. This info is based on my own research and experience so if anyone else has any additions or corrections, please post! =] -Joe...See MorePlease help me ID & care for my sick succulent
Comments (2)Hi Rebecca, I think you might have had already ID-ed your own plant correctly. It looks like a very weak and etiolated thyrsiflora. These plants are very resilient and are quite difficult to kill, unless you give them constant attention and overwater them. My question is how does the roots look like when you potted it up? As you said it was only a cutting when you received it. If there is no roots in existence, your plant will eventually wilt into nothing. If you do ever see signs of roots, do not pluck off the lower leaves until they are completely dry, as that what these plants do, they cannibalize their lower leaves to produce more energy for its stem and roots. If you pull away semi-wilted leaves, you are essentially removing food from the plant that it still can utilize. My last piece of advise is, stay away from recycling organic soils. Use sterilize new soil as much as you can if you want to grow plants in containers, or sterilize the soil yourself by adding boiling water to it and microwave the soil for about 3-4 minutes - cool it then plant your plant into it. I'm also afraid to say you might be drowning your plant with too much DE powder. It looks like a pudding covering the soil, that's not how soil should be for healthy plants. Happy Growing.

Comments (1)It looks like Echeveria agavoides. It does need more light - in first photo, it is already stretching (etiolating). Plant should stay more compact, as is in your summer photos. You need to figure out how to give it more light. Opening the blinds will help. Is there anything obstructing the window (trees, another building...) While old leaves will shrivel and eventually fall off, but the yellowing I see in the photo could be sign of overwatering. It is not because of size of the pot. How often do you water it and how much? It is best to repot plants into fast draining mix soon after getting them. They are most likely in very peaty potting soil, and the peat usually stays wet for too long. When watering, water should run out freely from the drainage hole of the pot. But if peat dries up too much, it becomes hydrophobic - it repels water. See if the plant with all the soil slips out of the pot easy - if so, take a photo & post....See MorePlease help me id them so that I can give them the proper care needed
Comments (17)Hey all! If you guys read what I replied to the comments, I placed all my succulents outside cause we had a really hot week then. We had a cold night forecast though of around 28 degrees and I was planning to take them back inside but had an emergency and wasn't able to come home. That following day I checked them out and almost all them them had mushy and soggy leaves. Some branches even started falling down I am so heartbroken. There are some that survived you can tell by the color. My question is this, (picture) some of them turned this color but isn't soft or soggy to the touch. Is this a sign that it's going to survive too? Can anyone share measures to somehow revive them? You will notice he leaves on the left (of this particular jade on the blue pot) are still very green. The ones on the middle are pale or kind of brownish and the branch on the right has bowed down. Will it help to cut branches that seem hopeless?...See Morebayareaguy0000
