succulent leaves drying out, soil is damp, and new growth???
Comments (2)It would appear to be Echeveria shaviana. It is normal for Echeveria, as they grow, to lose their lower leaves. This particular Echeveria is a slow grower. It is also normal for it to produce pups or offsets from the base or stem. It requires lots of sunlight to maintain its tightly clustered head....See MoreWhere to see cacti/succulents on dry side of Hawaii?
Comments (3)I'm not sure if it would be worth it now, but Koco Crater used to have Sansieveria everywhere. It probably still does. There is also a C&S society in Hawaii, I would contact them for interesting locations....See MoreIs my succulent drying or rotting? How to save it?
Comments (8)Hi @Crenda! Thank you so much for the help! Repotting - No, I didn't repot it (it was repotted from a different container to my pink pot by the seller before shipment though). It came overflew with the soil (please see the photo below, I took pictures of every little step because it is my first succulent/plant ^^). To "clean the mess", I went ahead and dump the overflew soil into my blue pot (arrgggg). Roots - How do I tell if the roots look healthy? I took a picture of the root just now. Something terrible happened while trying to take a picture of the root :'( I was trying to get a good angle of the roots and dropped the succulent by accident… I went ahead and put in the overflew soil. Is it going to die for sure now? :'( How it arrived (overflew) Photo before purchase: Day 3 (Today) Photo of the root: Day 3 (Today) Photo after refilling: Soil content - Yes, the soil came with the kit. Unfortunately all it says on the pocket is "natural potting mix". I did contact the seller after reading your message, so hopefully I will find out what is in there soon. Window direction - oh goodness I am directionally challenged :x if my phone is accurate, it is facing north. I do have a facing south window that I might be able to use. @socks, Oh no. It is planted low due to my mistake. It came overflew with the soil (please see the photo below, I took pictures of every little step because it is my first succulent/plant). To "clean the mess", I went ahead and dump the overflew soil into my blue pot (arrgggg). Spraying - the kit came with a little spray bottle, so I assumed I should use it :x White crumbles - Not sure x.x I did contact the seller after reading the comments though, so hopefully I will find out soon. Yes, it looks like the pink pot has more content than the baggie of soil. Thank you so much for being so kind, helpful, and encouraging! :)))...See MoreSucculent cuttings drying up what should I do
Comments (12)They look like my cuttings do, so don't seem to have a problem to me. :) I'm just starting out myself, but the best root growth I got out of cuttings (though mine were bigger whole plants) was when I propped each of them upright in a small cup with a crumpled paper towel at the bottom (the cups were tall, so the paper towel lifted them up gently so all their weight wasn't resting on the bottom leaves) and put them in a windowsill. So the plants/leaves got sunlight, but the stem inside the cup was shaded. I gave them no water until they had at least a bunch or two of good roots growing, then I've been misting the inside of the cup every once in a while. So far, so good! I'm actually wondering when I should plant them at this point... It also depends on the species for how soon you see root growth -- one of my cup cuttings still hasn't grown a thing, though the plant still looks the same as the day I cut it, minus one lower leaf that dried up. It's the very first one I cut, too, so it's been out the longest....See MoreUser
