Someone help me ID my cacti/succulents please?
Comments (6)Sadly, just because a bagged soil is called 'cactus soil' that doesn't necessarily mean it's any good for cacti and succulents as we've said many times before, it's just sales blurb. They will die in that mix whatever their size, large or small, the result will be the same. Can't tell what the planter/s look like size wise in relation to the plants or whether it's one big planter, but whichever, there's way too much unused 'peaty' type compost. It will cause one of two things to happen...if you water thoroughly which they will need (but they also need to drain properly) it will stay wet and they'll rot. Failing that, the soil may become hydrophobic, you will think you are watering it but it will stay dry at the roots, as spray bottles don't water efficiently. Please do a search for a more suitable mix using the search box a the top, your plants will thank you in the end. Gill...See MoreCan someone help me ID this succulent?
Comments (1)If your intention was to get me to shop or ask questions regarding decorating or design you were wrong. I'm looking for GARDEN WEB FORUMS and all I got was asking what were my plans. Gardening is what I'm interested in and you have succeeded in denying me access to it. Are you hostile to horticulture? Ever since you acquired Garden Web you have made it over time, more and more difficult to access the website. CONGRATULATIONS you just succeeded! I mean, you want people who come to garden web to shop, instead of asking questions of horticultural nature. I have few other words in mind but I'll refrain from using them since this will be read by others....See MoreID succulent, someone knows ID. Tell me, please
Comments (3)Betina Forgot to mention: give it lots of light. It is leaning to one side - I suspect it was growing in relative dark spot and started to lean toward light source. It should start getting 'fatter' stems, darker green and rather upright. This one is same plant but monstrose - but growth pattern should be similar:...See MoreCould someone please help me identify the pink and blue succulents??
Comments (24)Kelsey Do not only take plants out to dry out (but perhaps you mean out of the cachepots?) - if you have outdoor space, leave them outside for whole summer. Succulents need to be acclimatized to outside, and that could be accomplished in a week right now. After that, they will grow much better than indoors. Your cachepots are very nice, I am sure displaying plants in them looks better than plastic pots, especially if you are using them as décor throughout the house (I wouldn't get any awards for décor, lol. Vast majority of my pots are plastic, few are terracotta). That is personal decision, but be aware that even if you don't see it heat will build up in that small space, can't escape and keeps plastic pot damp longer. Leaving them out (plastic pots) for few hours after watering definitely helps (while wouldn't do it with many plants I have). This is not a criticism, just helpful hints....See MoreKara 9b SF Bay Area CA
