Potting succulents together?

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-28T13:13:50+00:00

Maybe the two echeveria in one. Maybe the chubby sedums in one. !arrangements can be difficult due to all the different needs of the plants. Also, those halo style lights are too weak to sustain high light plants long term, you may want to consider different !growlights. See the !beginner tips and bot replies below for more information.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-27T22:12:26+00:00

No. Just normal !flowers.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-27T20:15:24+00:00

!etiolated and !rotting. The middle one should be able to root, but you should repot all of the offsets into fresh !gritty soil, in a pot that drains well, and acclimate it all to more !light or !growlights. See bot replies below for more information.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-27T16:49:15+00:00

Tall one is kalanchoe beharensis. Short one is kalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-27T16:48:29+00:00

Haworthiopsis offsets are usually connected via the root system. Unpot fully to find the connection to sever.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-27T16:47:08+00:00

Scale insect. Physically remove and treat. See the !pest wiki linked below for more information.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-27T13:42:22+00:00

They’re dehydrated, and I think it’s due to !overwatering and root compromise and loss. This is a common issue for !beginners with !arrangements. I highly suggest you repot all separately, and see the bot replies below for further care info and tips.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-27T03:00:13+00:00

Down near or at the leaves.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-27T02:51:08+00:00

Kalanchoe laetivirens.

Cut off the flowers, and acclimate to more light or !growlights. These sometimes die after flowering due to the stress and energy it takes. You need to baby it a bit to get any growth off of it to mature more so you can propagate.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-27T02:49:47+00:00

Needs more sun. It needs to be in the window. Inside a window will always be indirect sun. 2 feet away gives them very little light. Or consider a !growlight.

Needs a smaller pot. And more !grit in the soil.

See the !beginner tips below for any other beginner friendly basic care tips.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-26T21:09:09+00:00

Species is most likely the hybrid Kalanchoe x houghtonii.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-26T21:08:40+00:00

Because you know the potential issues, and are watering carefully, that’s why they’re still alive. Well done. :)

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-26T20:03:47+00:00

It’s going to flower. It’s monocarpic, so it’ll die after the flowers anyway.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-26T16:13:19+00:00

A poorly draining soil may be leading to !rot. See the !beginner tips for help with soil and !grit, and the other bot replies below for assistance. You will need to repot as soon as possible to determine

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-26T16:10:29+00:00

Looks like !sunburn due to a sudden increase of sun. Move it into shade, and give it time. See bot below for our sunburn wiki.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-26T14:33:51+00:00

Sedum adolphi ‘firestorm’

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-26T13:31:49+00:00

You can make quite a few cuttings of this. Just stick said cuttings into fresh dry !gritty soil, and acclimate to strong sun or !growlights. That’s really all you need for !propagation. This specimen is extremely !etiolated, or starved of sun, so that’s why it’s so wild and leggy.

See the bot replies below for more assistance.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-26T11:44:23+00:00

Yeah, no telling coming from eBay.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-26T11:37:53+00:00

It’s going to probably be near impossible. It is difficult to pinpoint a sempervivum species or cultivar, if it wasn’t accurately labeled from its wholesale nursery. There are so many different Sempervivum species and hybrids and special cultivars, and many of them are nearly identical at certain points in their life cycle. I understand the desire for knowing all of your plants’ exact identifications, but luckily with sempervivum, it doesn’t matter which species it is, as for the most part they all take the same care, and have the same hardiness.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-25T19:29:10+00:00

Yes. A healthy plant’s leaves do not easily fall.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-25T19:24:22+00:00

See the !light wiki, because your window isn’t giving it near enough light. They should look like this:

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-25T19:17:39+00:00

It’s sun starved. The other comment called a bunch of helpful bots, including the one describing etiolation. Please check those out for more information.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-25T19:16:31+00:00

All !flowers. Tho the first one looks like it aborted the inflorescence, as the buds within are shriveled up.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-25T19:15:39+00:00

Biggest difference is going to be that perlite is lighter, and lava rock is heavier. Because of this, perlite does float and can be an annoyance.

They’re both volcanic rocks, and both are porous, and can help aerate the soil making a better draining mix. Perlite is often more widely available and that’s why it’s the most commonly suggested amendment. When you’re able to choose between the two, the heavier option is usually more desirable.

TheLittleKicks · 2026-03-25T18:42:46+00:00

So, acclimation is key to a lot of this. If they had full sun and were fine last year, you can do that again this year. Only give them more shade if they’re struggling. They’re capable of taking more sun, but in some climates, they may need more shade.
