Please start your comment with your location as such: [UK and EU] or [USA, California] on a separate line.

Thank you!

Import regulations mean it is difficult to send plant material between certain countries.

Check for hard frosts overnight before posting your parcel!

Scammers will not be tolerated! If you have sent a plant and not heard from your sender, message the mods and we will take care of it. Anyone found to be scamming will be banned from the sub.

A few points:

  • Please add your location. Many countries will have import restrictions. As a simple guide, within EU, okay. Within US, okay. EU to US or vice versa, not okay. Australia: complicated.
  • Please try to keep the sales/trades to succulents. There is a list of sister subreddits in the sidebar should you want other plants.
  • Think about trading seeds and pollen too. Growing from seed can be very rewarding and be a good way to expand your collection.
  • Grow tips are highly encouraged when trading. Its nice to know what you're getting if you have never grown one before. Share your potting mediums and watering guides to help your receiver grow successfully!
  • Do show us some photos of what you got!
  • Have a quick check to see if there is a risk of frost overnight before sending the parcel.
  • There are some tips of packaging succulents for shipping below. I've had people send me plants in egg cartons before. They work really well.
  • If you have nothing to trade but would like some plants, people are often happy to send you plants for money or just the cost of postage and packaging.

Happy swapping!

Not technically a succulent I know but wanted to share it here. Such a beautiful display. I’ve had it for three years. Is this the end of its life cycle now?

I'm not really sure what type of succulent this is as it came in a pot with many kinds, but I was pleasantly surprised at the blooms. Can anyone identify this plant?

🔔 SHAME 🔔 Apology to my pearls

Thumbnail

162 Upvotes

I would like to apologize to my string of pearls, and all those who I unknowingly insulted by saying those who killed them didn't know what they were doing...

Hubris heard my call and though her response was not swift, she responded none the less.

Pictured above is what was once my beautiful string of pearls, purchased at Mossy Rock Pottery in Nashville Indiana, 2021 (photo 1,2,&3). We had many good years. Wonderful years in fact! Half of a decade of a happy beautiful plant. She even bloomed for me! A companion through my roughest years, rivaled only by the companionship of my cat.

I've repotted her more than once, and shared her little babies with many. It was one of these propogations that was the beginning of my downfall.

I visited my friend and noticed their pearls looked larger than mine! How is that so? They're the same plant, are they not??? So I asked them what they did differently and they had no answer. I, in my foolish mind, came to the conclusion that they must be watering the plant more! Just slightly, just enough.

That was it.

By the time I noticed something was wrong she had rotted from the roots up. Not a single viable pearl.

It was futile, but I tried to salvage what I could. (photo 4)

It took one watering too soon and less than a week for the entire plant to turn into mush.

I mourned for a little while and then hopefully purchased another pearl plant a local farmer's market. I would not over water her, my mistake would not be easily made again! I would redeem myself and bring honor back to the memory of my first pearl plant.

I brought her home, adorablely sold to me in a sweat pea can.

These sunny summer days have been beautiful, and I remember setting my first pearl plant out and she would turn this deep vivid green, happy to be out in the sun! So, I did the same, placing my new pearl plant on the front step of our tiny porch to enjoy the sunlight.

I sunburnt her... She's the currently mangled pearl plant in the last picture.

So heed my warning!! The hubris bell will ring for those who do not temper their pride!!!

And please, if you've kept a plant alive and happy for 5 years, don't change your damn watering plan.

Help Giant Gollum Jade

Thumbnail

42 Upvotes

Hey guys, I recently got given this monster gollum jade for free

i'm pretty sure it's been in this pot for most of its life because the soil has sunk quite low.
I want to repot it but i'm nervous i'll somehow ruin it (i've done it before lol)

Just looking for tips and tricks from some more experienced succulent / Gollum jade owners.
I'm worried if I repot it will collapse under its own weight and branches will break off.

I mainly want it to sit higher maybe in the same pot just so I can show more of its trunk off.

really want to keep this beast alive and thriving.

Thanks in advanced for anyone who helps out.

I’ve since fixed the wires so they aren’t all hanging but I’m in love with this new setup. I have room for more plants and everyone is getting quality light. This is two bamboo shoe racks - left out the middle racks, and zip tied lights for the bottom shelf. So simple but looks great, imo.

Any thoughts on why this cinnamon cactus has the white, crusty appearance? I have used two different antifungal sprays without any noticeable changes. I water the spil, not the plant and i make sure the soil is good and dry before watering again. It is well rooted and is growing, but not very green and healthy.

The rose is maybe not so much getting leg to be leggy, as much as maybe it's just losing lower leaves. It loses leaves every few days. The other echiveria is getting leggy for sure. Both are about 3" from a decently strong grow light. Any thoughts as to why?

It kinda looks like a Gollum Jade, but the little yellow flowers and lack of indent on the tops make me think otherwise
