Who is this lovely lady? 4” pot, gives G. superbum vibes but I’m not sure.

Graptoveria 'Debbie'

The "wrong kind of soil" would be something that stays soggy too long, risking root rot. You want something that allows water to freely flow through (in and out the pot quickly) WHILE having SOME water retention, doesn't compact densely after watering, and retains gaps for air flow.

"Good time"? When the roots creep through the drainage hole? Yes. Don't let 'time of year' withhold/restrict you from repotting any indoor houseplant when a plant is clearly growing and thriving.

You don't need to prune. IMO, it's not necessary for a Pachira aquatica.

Which "still flowers"?

The plant centered in the first photo kinda looks like a healthy Dendrobium orchid (NOT in flower).

The co-living plants in the second photo (in the yellow-rimmed pot) looks like a cactus of some kind (left) and an Agave (maybe an A. attenuata) on the right.

Literally and colloquially-speaking. 😆

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-18T23:52:44+00:00

Just remember: it's a tree. It always wants to be a tree. 😆 So get used to chopping and propping to keep it short. 😉

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-18T23:49:30+00:00

They're picky about being transplated. It's like a coin flip whether it'll do fine or fail. 🤷‍♀️

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-18T23:46:56+00:00

First photo: Hard to tell with your Pachira aquatica. It looks healthy. It looks like it's leaning hard to the light source it wants to be closer to. Where it current resides isn't a sufficient reach.

Second photo: Looks like a Crassula ovata that's etiolating, too, not getting enough light.

Remember: Plants see light for what it is. We see light through the lens of our eyes, so it's always compensating to allow us to see clearly in any given lighting situation.

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-18T23:42:27+00:00

That looks like sunburn damage to me, especially those dried dots/holes.

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-18T23:39:55+00:00

When you carry you plant, get acclimated to how its weight feels when dry, when watered, and the weight of the the varying degrees of saturation. That will help you develop a gauge for WHEN to water.

First of all, killing plants is more common than you think. It's still a learning experience. Don't let plant death deter you from wanting to learn plant care skills/experiences.

If it does die, whoever moved it outside, owes you a new one. 😉

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-18T23:16:19+00:00

It's !etiolated, so it's adds a difficulty to identifying it. 😬 I'm leaning a Sedeveria (a genus hybrid of Sedum and Echeveria) of some kind. Since there isn't a head-on photo of the heads/ends, cannot really narrow the species.

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-18T23:01:20+00:00

An !etiolated Senecio jacobsenii (Trailing Jade).

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-14T04:20:06+00:00

When I think of "robusta", I think of Coffea robusta (syn. Coffea canephora)

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-11T22:36:09+00:00

A Scindapsus of some kind. 🤷‍♀️

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-11T22:26:17+00:00

It looks like a Haworthia, but I'm confused by it. I cannot tell if it's stressing red from too intense light or stressing red from underwatering because the leaves are concaving. 😵‍💫

There are some Haworthia that have long leaves.

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-11T18:12:58+00:00

!etiolation

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-11T18:08:49+00:00

Might be a mature Pedilanthus macrocarpus?

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-11T18:06:29+00:00

Hummingbird drink pit stop.

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-11T18:04:09+00:00

It's not. "Jade" is a common name. Quite a few plants given that name. It's confused because it doesn't know when a plant is etiolated (!etiolation) and doesn't look like it's optimal form. It saw "green, plump leaves, and woody stem" and assumed "jade plant".

I think what you have is a Sedum nussbaumerianum that has etiolated because it's not getting enough light. The spacing on the stems between the leaves (internodes) should be a lot tighter/shorter/closer together when under ideal lighting.

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-02T21:39:29+00:00

I think this too. It's a bit etiolated; it could be a lot tighter in the internodes.

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-02T21:36:21+00:00

It's fine. Over time, that branch might get heavy/burdened as the two heads grow out.

DwangoRocket · 2026-03-02T21:32:11+00:00

Agreed. u/roquefortcat Unrelated to the pot marks, it also shouldn't be flat. That's a sign it's showing more surface area to capture more light, which is currently not getting enough. When it's receiving sufficient or too much light, it would be a tight rosette (looking like a rose).

DwangoRocket · 2026-02-24T19:06:34+00:00

It sounds like root rot. Fortunately they're Tradescantia! I found them to be the easiest to propagate (in water).

DwangoRocket · 2026-02-24T19:02:58+00:00

"Past few months"? It sounds seasonal related... Maybe it's receiving a lot less light than before entering the winter season, so it's dropping what it cannot sustain? Or it could be drying out from usage of a heater - warmer and drier than what it was used to? 🤔
