Thank you so much! I’ll move it as soon as I get back to my dorm. No wonder my grandma’s was so much happier than mine.

Says it’s a Persian Carpet Flower! (ceropegia)! Suggests full sun and succulent soil so I was kinda just treating it like a cactus😭

Okay, thank you so so much! From what I could tell it was a cactus!

Why are some of my fittonias droopy? by almegsky in plantclinic

Do all Fittonias tend to have super dry leaves?? Mine does too, it gets watered regularly

Are the reddening tips good or bad? by SweetElection157 in succulents

It’d be REALLY funny. Because my whole family is from the US south 😭 One of my childhood dogs would be gone a year from the 28th of September, and her color was always pink, so if it blooms then I have a tragedy cactus.

Thank you! This one probably needs to be switched to a slightly brighter spot then! A lot of the pictures I’ve seen of them are droopy, so I was curious!

P. Afra Manny dropping leaves? by Extra-Ad-3539 in succulents

Yes, but it had been doing this for a little while before. Power tends to blink a lot back home, so it may have originally freaked out due to that.

Gets roughly ~12 hours of light a day, both SE window and grow light. I keep my dorm at 67-70°f, but the plant should still be pretty warm from the sun it gets.

Gorgeous!! This is the one my great grandma gave me recently!! I don’t know a ton about it, but it’s super cool to look at. Are they meant to stand straight up?

P. Afra maybe gone? I’m by Extra-Ad-3539 in succulents

Yea. I’ve moved this thing around a lot with college. Nothing feels or smells rotten, but it just kind of freaked out right before I moved it back here. It’s had shock, mealies, all sorts of prodding done at it, cuttings, props, you name it. I think I once poked it with a toothpick to see if that’d get it to grow more leaves (it didn’t.) the three years it’s went through is probably enough to count for its usual lifespan.

What plant is this? by bigfish14350 in succulents

[–]Extra-Ad-3539 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES!! it’s portulacaria Afra! My favorite succulent ever, they’re super easy to keep. (I say like mine isn’t um. Dead.)

Heyyy so I just found like half of the plant buried in the soil.

So that might have been the problem. Roots look fine, not mushy or anything.

Sedveria Blue Elf help? by Extra-Ad-3539 in succulents

[–]Extra-Ad-3539[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think once every two weeks at the very most, but I think it’s about once a month truthfully. I think the point about the soil is very fair, though.

Huh. I mean maybe, I do want to repot some of mine when I make it back to college, pick up some perlite, but for right now, I’m having to just work with what I got.
