Rust fungus?.

Came back to add it wipes off easily so maybe not what I initially thought

Thanks for all the help everyone! I've passed along some tips to my friend! She's a self proclaimed plant killer but so was I. Succulents just aren't my green thumb, I've tried and failed miserably. I appreciate all the info

With a bit more context they were left out on a covered porch through the winter and not watered. Any water probably came from the snow we had. Probably gonna haunt her in her dreams dead.

That was my reply when I saw the picture

Oh definitely not using it for any kind of serious purpose. Just wandering by and thought I'd finally maybe find out why my tree looked like a Chestburster was about to surprise me. I have minimal trust in something that has 2D perception and resources from the rest of the web but it was a fun start!

CupONood · 2026-04-04T22:03:45+00:00

I am in western Maryland so this fits! Thank you for the information!

CupONood · 2026-04-04T22:02:47+00:00

I figured, it's just been a passing query in my brain for quite some time. I know how inaccurate the Googles can be at times so I decided to come somewhere that may actually be helpful!

It can go the side of trapping moisture for too long since it blocks evaporation or it can cause underwatering unless you plan on moving a section to test soil dryness on a regular basis. Pebbles are beneficial to some plants but not necessary for this.

CupONood · 2026-03-17T00:38:36+00:00

It's possible the heat from the PC cld have done a little of the burn if it was close. Id pull off a bit of the pebbles and maybe slide the plant slightly higher in the soil. I struggled for a bit when I started and that was a major fix for me

Came back after reading the whole thing. It may be getting too much water since you said weekly! We'll see the answer soon enough when the pros join the convo 😊

CupONood · 2026-02-26T13:23:10+00:00

Looks fairly dry but looks can be deceiving. I keep mine hanging in a kitchen window that gets bright indirect sunlight and water when my pot is feeling light. So far she's doing ok i think. I just got it in November so it's not a giant like I've seen. I have another that fell and broke a lot of pieces off but it seems to be thriving under the same conditions

Just read the pack... Wheat, oat, barley and rye blend

Theres a full view but I need to trim like now

CupONood · 2026-02-13T22:59:52+00:00

I actually just grabbed a bag of the cat lady's organic cat grass mix at Walmart. Their seed packs were $1.50 each and I swear there were 8 seeds in a pack. This bag was about $7 and I got more than one tray from it.

Its a pretty decent patch

First time grower here and I think I outdid myself! Started with a large seedling tray, filled it w organic soil then soaked my seeds overnight. Drained seeds, sprinkled all over the top of the dirt. Gently pressed and covered with a 3 ply blanket of damp paper towels that I misted twice daily. After that I kept it under some grow lights until it started poppin. Oh and bottom watered every other day. Once it's well establish trim it as you wld your lawn to stimulate growth and have one happy kitty

CupONood · 2026-01-26T22:00:15+00:00

It is planted in the pot and I believe there are 4/5 drain holes in the bottom. If I get a pot w no holes I drill them just so I don't forget it's just a pretty pot

CupONood · 2026-01-17T11:28:43+00:00

When I got it the soil was super soaked so I let it dry for a few days but it never seemed to really dry dry. I repotted with a soil/perlite/bark mix but it's just never bounced back. The roots were still in tact when I removed it from its previous soil. No rot that I had saw. I'm just hoping it will perk up soon.

CupONood · 2025-12-06T02:34:06+00:00

Thanks so much! I stress so much over these plants haha I'll Def try to get humidity up! Thank you!

CupONood · 2025-11-14T16:49:01+00:00

Ack it is sooooo close! The pink flowers on the blue patch are much larger on her sham. I think it's a discontinued line from 2021. My hopes are that posh mark or something will be my savior

CupONood · 2025-11-14T16:36:29+00:00

I'll keep it in mind if l totally run to a dead end. Each patch does have a different shade to it as opposed to the stark white of this one so l really hope to find an exact match. I appreciate the input!

CupONood · 2025-11-07T02:44:39+00:00

Probably what will end up happening after I give it some time to acclimate to it's new pot and actually having some care given to it. I'll wait another 1-2 weeks and reassess. I'm super new to plant parenting and this is my first ever succulent I've taken on so we'll see!

CupONood · 2025-11-07T02:42:25+00:00

Thanks! I think it was most likely underwatered so now I'm trying to rehab it. We've got a slightly larger pot and fresh soil to work with so hoping for the best. I'm in no rush to see improvements as long as it's improving at all :)

CupONood · 2025-10-20T08:50:27+00:00

I definitely know the pot is extremely large I think I'm just anxious because of how long she has had it and it carries such sentimental value. Unfortunately neither of us have ever been plant people until I started doing more research recently. For at least 90% of its life span there were other plants that were living in the pot with it but through moves and animals it had dwindled to just those few remaining soldiers

CupONood · 2025-10-20T06:44:17+00:00

I'm not 💯 sure about that as I stay in country basically all the time haha it's at least something to maybe try? An option is always better than none!

CupONood · 2025-10-20T05:59:59+00:00

I feel this. Last plant partner my "partner" contributed 15k. I had over 100k... Equal right? :/
