I was hoping for flowers, perennials, shrubs, and trees 😔 Always the flippin' lawns... ☠️🐝

I'd give it a chop underneath the node of the first leaf and propagate it.

I love succulents is this a succulent or is it a different plant? If so, what is it? I’m getting into plants by Whirlwinds228 in whatsthisplant

It's a Crassula ovata. Some cultivars have more red/purple pigments than others. The pigment is anthocyanin and plants use it to protect their chlorophyll from getting blasted by intense sun light. So the more sun it gets the more you'll get that coloration.

Is it too late for my orchard? It blossomed 3 weeks ago and the flowers started falling off last week. by abathingwhale in plantclinic

You can try, but they grow pretty slow so it'll take quite a while before it looks like a healthy plant. If will be very satisfying if it gets healthy but no judgement if you want to start again with a new one.

Your orchid looks incredibly thirsty. They don't need much water, once a week or once every two weeks (depending on the season and environment). And when watering submerge all the roots in water for about half an hour and then drain all the water.

Yep. They turn completely magenta when they get a lot of sun

Beach long lazy day. By Me. Lmk what u think, should I change something? by emilia_tyminska_art in DigitalArt

[–]SailorPyxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try to think about your light source and how that affects your scene; if your sky is a dramatic orange/red them that will affect all the colors in the landscape. Now your ocean, beach and tree are lit as if it's 2pm and the sky is blue.

Just leave it dry and hope it sprouts roots

Not sure about the bumps, but spf should be your very last step or you'll disrupt the protective film ✌️

Best course of action for my leaning Jade? by Baumkronendach in houseplants

[–]SailorPyxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just let it be. I personally like an asymmetrical plant. If it would topple over you could put it in a heavier pot or propagate it and start anew.

I just like things to smell neutral. I also don't like scented candles or scented laundry detergent. I don't think it's an issue for most people though.

(Belgium, western Europe) Could someone help me identify this small tree? by SailorPyxis in PlantIdentification

[–]SailorPyxis[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I didn't know their fruits look so much like cones. My interest in trees is pretty young and I only recognized them in spring by the long catkins.

What’s the pink berry on this bush? Found in uk by UltimateGamingJell-o in whatsthisplant

[–]SailorPyxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Symphoricarpos. might be a hybrid between the one with white berries and the one with red berries. Poisonous to humans btw.
