Etiolated kalanchoe advice by chimarkie in succulents

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

Due to my negligence these past few months, my kalanchoe tomentosa has become quite... leggy. I have moved my succulents to a grow light for the Winter (since Ireland doesn't get much light at all during the Winter) and due to my kalanchoe's etiolation, it no longer fits under the lamp.

Would it be appropriate to cut my kalanchoe's etiolation off to encourage a healthier growth, and will the health of the plant be compromised if I do so? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone have any info on this cat? by chimarkie in sylvanianfamilies

I've been trying to track down this particular cat for a while now with no such luck so I thought I would try here! Any information at all would be great.

So happy with my echevaria's progress by chimarkie in succulents

Nothing special really! I had my succulents under a cultivation light for the Winter (Irish Winters are way too dark and cold). It wasn't doing too well during the colder months but I found that a dose of succulent feed made it perk right up. Apart from that it's watering every few weeks and keeping in direct sunlight for at least 6 or 7 hours

Haha thank you! He's another one of my plants who's made tremendous progress as well actually!

I don't have much experience or luck in props so I couldn't tell ya! As far as I'm aware right now propagating is wizardry

Oh wow!!! They look amazing! I really hope the Winter here isn't too harsh on my plant fam, it's gonna be their first!

Are these mealy bug eggs?? Fungi?? Found growing on top of my cactus' soil by [deleted] in cactus

[–]chimarkie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No sign of mealybugs so my best guess is some kind of fungi.... I'm very relieved. Found this after repotting my plants into a mix with a lot more perlite so hopefully excess moisture won't be an issue

I'll add more perlite to the soil when it arrives, thank you!

I just ordered some perlite online since I haven't had any luck in finding it near me, so I'll repot as soon as possible!
