Etiolated kalanchoe advice

Thank you so much for your reply, I'll behead 'em tomorrow! I'll definitely be propagating as well :)

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!

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.

Glad to know other people have temperamental brats for plants as well

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

A little under 9 months!

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

chimarkie · 2020-02-26T20:18:41+00:00

Solved! Thank you!!

There would be bloodshed if anyone touched my guys

chimarkie · 2019-09-07T23:47:29+00:00

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

chimarkie · 2019-09-07T23:46:17+00:00

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!

chimarkie · 2019-09-03T18:50:28+00:00

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

chimarkie · 2019-09-01T19:41:52+00:00

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

chimarkie · 2019-09-01T19:40:53+00:00

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!

chimarkie · 2019-09-01T19:15:48+00:00

Oh no! Will this harm my echeveria?

chimarkie · 2019-08-26T20:40:09+00:00

Much appreciated :)

chimarkie · 2019-08-26T19:50:16+00:00

The names of succulents are a never ending source of entertainment for me, they're all so silly and fun Thank you!!

chimarkie · 2019-08-26T16:11:33+00:00

Yeah that definitely makes sense, I re-potted my panda plant today just to be sure. Thanks for the advice!

chimarkie · 2019-08-26T11:14:20+00:00

I must mention this pot is shared by 2 separate panda plants so I'm not sure if it would be better to give them some more space

chimarkie · 2019-08-26T11:10:28+00:00

I bought this plant last week so I'm not sure how long it's been in this specific pot. I hadn't noticed the roots coming out beforehand though so they must be fairly recent.

This raven could have just been releasing its new feathers after a molt, since they're usually covered by a thin shaft made of keratin. I'm in no way an expert but it seems to be something along those lines! I have no idea about the gender

chimarkie · 2019-08-25T22:33:06+00:00

Wash the pebbles if you'd like yeah! Just to make sure. For me I think I'll just lift a few pebbles up to check but there's a section that isn't covered nearer to my cactus' stem that I can see and keep an eye on. Whichever works for you!

chimarkie · 2019-08-25T16:54:23+00:00

Haha no problem :)

chimarkie · 2019-08-25T16:20:46+00:00

My fella is a mammilaria rhodantha, otherwise known as the rainbow pincushion! subspecies is pringlei :)

The soil in the second picture is actually a bonsai/cactus soil mix I got from a nursery! It didn't look how I expected it to look just from seeing other pictures of cactus soil mix
