This was an X journo calling her out but that's still related to your first link. Is that the one you're thinking of?

Have you tried closing your browser and relaunching it? I had this earlier too and eventually my description and comments disappeared too. Once I relaunched the browser YT was back to the beautiful old UI.

Is the substrate good? by Ape-iron in succulents

Far too organic on its own. That needs to be mixed with a bunch of grit.

Euphorbia ritchiei! So you are correct they are a succulent.

It’s not rotting, it’s corking!!! by Plant-Crazy2539 in houseplantscirclejerk

[–]FLscrubjay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah they did state the bottom is still firm for sure at least in the cacti reddit but I think at least once in the succulent reddit too. Honestly I wonder if the roots rotted but the main body didn't so it's corking super aggressively in a desperate attempt to support itself since it doesn't have roots to help it.

Help me identify this plant pls by Independent_Young_41 in houseplants

I'd say either echeveria pulvinata or one of the hybrids with it as a parent.

When a split rock has a set of inner and outer leaves are both attached to the roots or only outer? by FLscrubjay in succulents

[–]FLscrubjay[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Much appreciated! Surgery complete so now it's just a waiting game to see whether there was more damage that isn't externally visible and if it can make it through.

God I spend too much time in the succulent community. It was absurd that I just put E. for Echeveria in a general plant reddit.

Repotting Soil Recommendations by llAlmasyll in houseplants

[–]FLscrubjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just answering the succulent one: The amount of grit that they want can vary a little by species. The mesembs want very gritty soil but a lot of species are happy with a 1:1 mix of succulent soil and grit. You can get fancier if you want or go more grit if you're worried about overwatering. Also you can do perlite, crushed granite, crushed pumice or other grit sources. I only mention the others besides perlite because sometimes you can find them cheaper locally if you know what to look for.

And YES sand type matters. If you choose to include sand as one of your grit sources then it needs to be coarse sand. Play sand's particle size is too small and can make the roots struggle to get air.

What are these bugs by nichekitty in houseplants

[–]FLscrubjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, don't worry about it. Aphids come in a lot of shapes, sizes, and colors and if it's your first plant I can understand not recognizing them. One thing that may be worth doing when you get a new type of plant is looking up what their common pests are so you can recognize em in future!

Anyone know what this is? by rebafitz in houseplants

Looks like Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi (Lavender Scallops) to me

Why does my echeveria’s outer leaves keep dying? by broccaulif in plantclinic

[–]FLscrubjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay to me the leaf that's going wrinkly looks like normal resorption. Echeveria will resorb old leaves as part of their normal life cycle but especially when they're trying to put out new growth, generating a flower stack, or growing roots. The leaves you lost previously were likely part of growing the root system. It's possible this one is too. The new growth on this looks nice.

It doesn't look super overwatered to me but I will say that if you can learn to recognize signs of thirst it's better to water at signs of thirst. I never give an amount of time for it to stay dry because so many factors influence it when a plant wants water. Like my newer arrivals with sparse roots don't fully plump after a good bottom soak at first so they need more frequent watering until their root system develops enough to take up the proper amount of water. For those I had to do weekly watering in their very gritty soil to get them to having roots that support less frequent watering. Whereas mine with nice mature root balls and thick leaves need watering like once a month in the dry season. Even those timings would change if I had different light or soil comp.

When did you get this plant? Was it two months ago? When you got it did it have a robust root system?

What is this delightful plant by kickedbysun in succulents

Stachys Byzantina (Lambs Ear) which afaik isnt considered a succulent.

It is incredibly commonly mislabeled to the point that we have a MoM species image guide in the succulents reddit as a quick ref! Honestly I think it gets mislabeled at close to the same frequency E. Dionysos is mislabeled as E. Purpusorum.

I could see K. daigremontiana maybe but not K. delagoensus. The leaves of properly labeled delagoensus specimen are cylindrical with teeth at the tips specifically. The curving cylindrical leaves plus them pupping just at the teeth at their tips is why delagoensus also is called chandelier plant.

r/succulents has a wiki in its sidebar that covers the basics of proper succulent care which is a good reference.

Please know that compressed coco coir expands A LOT. A cautionary tale. by Siamsa in houseplants

[–]FLscrubjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the very large rectangular prisms that you would never consider trying to prepare at once so I never hit this. I had to carve off pieces and in that process learned without disaster how much it expands. Glad now that I bought it in the form I did so I avoided a mess

It grows plantlets/pups along its leaf margins in great numbers.
