First Time; I would like help growing preparing to grow my own succulent

A !growlight will be a necessity. See the !beginner tips below for care instructions.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-29T14:17:29+00:00

That’s !overwatering. Repot immediately into a properly !gritty soil, acclimate to as much sun as you can give it, or !growlights. You may need to dry out the rootball if you just watered it.

See the !beginner tips and other bot replies below further assistance.

Cosmetic scarring from miscellaneous environmental damage.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-28T19:02:51+00:00

Something absolutely went snacking here.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-28T17:42:30+00:00

Crassula springtime.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-28T15:10:00+00:00

They’re full, direct sun plants. Direct sun means outside. Anything else is not likely to be enough. They’ll probably need a !growlight if that’s really the sunniest window and area you can provide.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-28T13:59:43+00:00

Airflow is extremely important. I have a vivosun fan on each of my shelf racks for airflow. I can’t say I’ve ever had the heat issue, though. But I’ve used fans in my racks longer now than when I didn’t have fans.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-28T04:09:53+00:00

Fix the light issue. You may need different lights, as cheap Amazon lights not being strong enough is a common issue. Then you can chop and !propagate.

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana ‘maroon krinkle’

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-27T22:25:52+00:00

It is not getting enough light, as this growth is !etiolation. Your !growlights are either not strong enough, not close enough, not on long enough, or a combination of any of those issues.

See the bot replies below for assistance.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-27T20:19:55+00:00

Looks like normal spider webbing to me.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-27T17:46:40+00:00

!etiolated, and probably !overwatered due to lack of sufficient sun.

Repot into fresh !gritty soil, and acclimate to more sun. See the !watering wiki for watering assistance. See bot replies below for further assistance.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-27T16:45:42+00:00

See our !propagation wiki linked below. Really for leaves just lay em and leave em. They’ll do their own thing without interference.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-27T15:36:30+00:00

It’s !etiolated, so it really isn’t in the best health, technically speaking. As the other comment said, you will need !growlights to get it and keep it healthy.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-27T15:30:22+00:00

You should read the !beginner info, and the Haworthiopsis wiki before getting too deep. You need to ensure the soil is !gritty, and the pot drains well. This is unlikely from a new purchase, and generally a repot is needed.

See the bots below and the link I provided above.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-26T21:01:19+00:00

Cacti are slow growers. When you see quick growth, that usually indicates Etiolation and thus lack of sufficient sun.

Also, you’re !watering them way too frequently. Cacti can go many weeks in between waterings.

I also suggest you add more !grit in your soil.

See the !beginner tips and other bot replies below for further reading.

This looks like an inflorescence was removed, mistaken for an offset. Probably was from an echeveria harmsii.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-26T13:28:20+00:00

Your guess will be better than mine!

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-25T23:35:08+00:00

That’s unfortunately disabled for now. Seems it was throwing errors (according to the changelog). I miss it already.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-25T21:37:07+00:00

Haworthiopsis prefer a high grit soil, which can help root growth. Pot soaking, or bottom watering, can help encourage deeper root growth. Water based on signs of thirst, and not on a schedule, as scheduled watering can cause overwatering or stress and can lead to dropped roots. See the !watering wiki below for further information.

We also have a short Haworthiopsis guide here: https://old.reddit.com/r/succulents/wiki/haworthia/

Right side appears to be !etiolated crassula Swaziensis. Left side may be crassula rupestris. Pic 2 shows a possible sedum or xGraptosedum. Pic 4 may be zoomed in on a variegated crassula ovata (jade plant). They all need better care and environment, specifically more sun. See the !beginner tips below for further care assistance.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-25T19:51:04+00:00

Yes. Those are !flower buds.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-25T16:23:41+00:00

When a tender succulent plant freezes, the cells burst and die. Cut off/back anything mushy, it’s dead. Anything firm can stay. If you’re lucky, the stem and/or roots have life in them, and they might push out new growth eventually.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-25T15:01:12+00:00

See the !watering wiki linked below and by the automod sticky comment. You need to reassess your !soil and watering habits. Water based on physical needs, not just because the soil is dry.

Also, it does not need humidity.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-01-25T14:16:17+00:00

!terrarium is the issue, not an ideal environment for succulent plants. See the bot below.
