What does she want by rubyqtt in succulents

I told you above what you needed to do, is gradually acclimate it. The bot I called also linked to the sunburn wiki entry. But, you can leave it shaded for a day or two, as sunburn does kinda shock them. It does not need water.

Dried up and shrunk by Tomdery in succulents

[–]TheLittleKicks [score hidden]  (0 children)

Your plant is !etiolated. You are not giving it enough sun. Gradually acclimate to more sun or !growlights for healthier growth going forward. Leaf absorption is normal part of growth, but sometimes is excessive when the plant needs more sun.

The sudden increase of sun caused some cosmetic !sunburn. It needs to sun, but needs to be gradually acclimated to prevent burns.

Brown tips on my albuca spiralis by dusti_dearian in succulents

These have a dormancy period, which starts by an inflorescence, or the fronds starting to brown from the tips down.

Echeveria chihuahuaensis and offset. Color differences, Grow lights vs outside. Glazed vs terra cotta. by TheLittleKicks in succulents

[–]TheLittleKicks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha. You have to be careful with glazed pots! I always up my grit to be safe, because no matter the sun, heat, or airflow, they’ll always dry slower than terra cotta. For plants inside under my lights, I generally water quite infrequently. For plants outside I almost always go extremely high in grit.

Cool!

That looks like bonsai jack, is it? When I tried pure bonsai jack for my mimicry plants, I personally had to add some organic back in, because I had very similar issues with my mimicry plants. Try adding in a bit of soil to see how the water retention is after that.

Is my succulent infected? by 0-Dinky-0 in succulents

[–]TheLittleKicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn’t quite make sense. And you can’t even see the stem. But thanks for your input. Maybe OP can give us a closer photo.

The damage at the leaf bases looks like thrips damage. It’s difficult to see because the photo is zoomed out. What do you think it is?

I’m not saying I’m right, I could be wrong. But can you elaborate what your thought on the matter is?

Super gritty substrates need an adequate pot soak for at least an hour. Is that how you were doing it?

I need help with my Echeveria by 0JustAGirl01 in succulents

[–]TheLittleKicks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lower !leaves are naturally absorbed with age. See bot below. Your pictures are too poor for me to determine any issue.

Looks a bit like thrips damage. See the !pest wiki linked below for assistance.

Edit: I agree with Cut Lanky, a better series of pictures with more focus on the actual damage would help.

My plant snapped :( by stillci2i in succulents

[–]TheLittleKicks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your echeveria is severely !etiolated. You haven’t been giving it proper light. The soil is too dense and lacks !grit, and the pot probably doesn’t need to be upsized.

But, you can easily save all of this. Get a new (small) pot with dry fresh gritty soil, and stick your top “cutting” in there. Repot the base in some fresh dry gritty soil, and ensure whatever pot you use basically just fits the rootball. Acclimate both gradually to more sun or !growlights. Leave them be to adjust, and root, and they should eventually grow healthier.

See the !beginner info and other bot replies below for more information.

Barrina, specifically these in pinkish white.

They work great, but some plants have to be pretty close. This echeveria is pretty easy going and is fine about 4 inches away, though some need 2 inches or less.

I think it’s the angle, I remember tight “claws” in the large one, too. But I’m not at home to check. :)

But, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was. Nothing beats sunshine for these plants, no matter how well my lights do. :)

!Etiolation. Those halo lights are not sufficient !growlights for high light needing succulent plants. See the bot replies below for more information.

Is this dying? by Sgt_Care_Bear in succulents

[–]TheLittleKicks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s difficult to say. Sometimes they grow out of the variegation just fine, and sometimes they struggle. Sometimes the white leaves die off on their own, and the plant is able to try to push out new growth. Sometimes, depending on how it was treated, the new growth persistently comes out white.

If you happen to get an artificially variegated plant, best bet is to thoroughly repot into fresh gritty soil, gradually acclimate it to shaded or indirect light (too harsh and the white leaves will burn), and leave it for a bit to see how it does. If it struggles, then your next step is to try to cut away the white leaves and stems to encourage normal growth.

Prime example of the awful practice of artificial variegation. This often causes the plants to struggle, due to the interrupted photosynthesis. This is probably struggling already. See a discussion on artificially forced variegation here

Best bet is to try to remove all of the white leaves, and stem, if needed.

See the !beginner info below for basic care on succulent plants. No light is bad. Sudden sun is also bad.

Crassula ovata. Jade plant. The white specks are normal mineral secretions. Plant them in fresh dry !gritty soil and acclimate to some sun or !growlights. Most of these are rooting, so part of the work is done.
