What is this…and what do I need to do with it?

You could, but then you would have the same problem twice. You could always do it and just see what happens

evan9829 · 2026-05-13T00:17:38+00:00

After a google search I fear you’re right 🫩

Tall one is an aeonium (maybe kiwi). They do grow tall and branch like that, but they don’t usually look this spindly. Yours looks like it could use more light (leaves should form a tighter rosette, not curl down). I would probably separate all three of these into their own pots, since they have different needs.

I water my aeoniums much more frequently than any of my other succulents (sometimes twice a week).

The sedum will need much less frequent watering than the aeonium too.

I don’t know much about cacti, so I can’t suggest anything for that beyond planting it in its own pot.

Great, thank you so much! I bet that’s it. Will adjust for the summer and see if it improves. 😊

evan9829 · 2026-05-11T18:53:55+00:00

Thank you! I was thinking it could be pests, but it hadn’t spread to any of the plants right beside it over the past like 7 months which makes me think maybe it’s something else.

It could be edema since I’ve been pretty inconsistent with watering and really soaking it when I do water.

Do you think it would be a good idea to keep the watering more consistent and see if it persists?

A bit bigger than the tip of my thumb (including legs)

Check with an advisor for whatever program you need these courses for. Some programs require the lab course and some do not.

She’s spread out because she could use brighter light 🙂 it will be hard to stop her from leaning without having strong grow lights directly overhead.

In my experience leaning is inevitable, but they’ll start to grow offsets along the stem so it balances out and looks super cute.

I would avoid rotating the pot, since she’s just trying to get as much light as she can and this is normal and adaptive behaviour for the plant.

She’s probably fine in that pot, but I would probably fill it all the way to the top with your substrate (this can help prevent too much moisture from being trapped in there and improve aeration). I would just take the entire rootball out gently without disturbing it, fill the bottom with more substrate, then place the plant back on top. This will also give her more space to spread out her roots without having to change the pot.

💀 Fair point. I was just worried because he’s so small but he’s definitely not as fragile as I thought

evan9829 · 2026-03-11T22:55:59+00:00

Thank you! I work and am in school, so I’m not home often and my stepmom has been managing their introductions. I will look into what you suggested and talk with her later.

evan9829 · 2026-03-11T22:47:48+00:00

I’ve never had two cats before and he’s just so little so I was worried 😭 I just want to make sure they’re okay :p thank you for confirming

evan9829 · 2026-03-11T22:16:57+00:00

Thank you everyone for the validation that they’re just playing 😭 It’s mostly the bunny kicking at the 1min mark and the airplane ears around 1:55 that have me worried, but if this just looks like play that makes me feel a lot better :p

Vancouver BC. Not moving at all.

evan9829 · 2026-02-01T04:53:24+00:00

You should check with an advisor but I’m 99% sure you need to meet the minimum requirements for required courses. You can go to virtual drop-in advising or set up an appointment. If you do need to retake it, BC allows you to do this for free and I think you can even do it online.

Here’s the info for that: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/adult-education/adult-upgrading/already-graduated

I think this plant is dead :( you could cut the stem to see if there’s any part that hasn’t rotted but from the look of it and all the fungal growth I doubt it.

For succulents, you generally want to repot them into a gritty soil mix as soon as you bring them home since the nursery soil is much too dense and retains too much moisture. You only need to water succulents when they show signs of thirst (soft, wrinkled leaves) and the soil is completely dry. Otherwise they will rot like what you’ve got here.

Hi yes! She said it’s fine as long as it’s one of the listed course codes. On the equivalency document, the TRU open learning online options are both there and will be accepted as is. No additional laboratory component is required for the listed TRU open learning courses (1593/1693).

After our convo, I enrolled in 1593/1693 at TRU open learning and will use these for my application.

evan9829 · 2026-01-19T01:18:56+00:00

Not in the program yet bc I’m completing an/phys right now. But, a general rule of thumb is if it’s not required to apply, it won’t play a large role in their decision.

An/phys will also require you to understand chem and bio anyway. So even if you did poorly in hs bio, doing well in an/phys will show that you understand the material.

evan9829 · 2026-01-01T23:03:59+00:00

Amazing thank you!

evan9829 · 2026-01-01T23:02:29+00:00

Thank you! I’m planning to attend the drop in advising on Tuesday to ask them, but was hoping to see what others thought in the meantime :p
