Do people prefer to tie up the leaves to keep it vertical or leave as is?

just like it says. I forgot to bring my aloe inside now that it’s getting colder and it froze when the temps dropped the other day. I cut off the bits that were definitely dead but these other ones are very firm to the point where I can’t tell if they’ll be okay or not. any ideas?

I got these over the weekend and they looked great. I haven’t watered them. Just put them in a different pot. I am wondering if it’s too cold for them up here in the Midwest or if I need to put them in a more sunny spot? I have them in a east facing window

Hey all, my jade’s got some gnarly yellow leaves, with at least one getting crispy. I imagine this is due to the dry air now that it’s winter with the heat on. I am scared to overwater, and just a couple days ago I gave it its nicely biweekly soak, but already the top of the dirt is dry. Every morning I mist it and have put a humidifier nearby.

Could it be something else? Should I start watering it more? Please help!

its my mommas v gorgeous but she doesn’t know what type it is

Desert rose isn’t looking too good need advice It never does great inside but this is the first year it’s ever been this bad. Pot has drainage and I try watering less frequently in winter than I do in summer. It’s in the brightest window in my house.

Hi succulent friends! I live in arid Colorado, where the indoor humidity ranges from 7-12% in winter.

Yes, my skin and lips are miserable. Yes, I'm also in the market for a good humidifier. But in the meantime, it's miserably dry here, and will be from December to at least April.

I'm trying to grow some leaf props from my echeveria, graptosedum, burro's tail and lace aloe, but I'm having a hard time from the lack of moisture.

Sunlight isn't as much of a problem; it's high UV here, and I could use a grow light if needed. I just have zero clue what sort of setup to use.

I have a small clear acrylic terrarium with air holes, intended for a pet spider (nope) and with a small door that I could leave open. Has enough space for some bottom layers of materials.

Was also looking at little glass greenhouses that I could place on a table near a window, and leave open to prevent too much humidity from accumulating.

Alternatively, my fiancé has a 3D printer in the next room and I could ask him to print a traditional plastic tray with drainage holes and a drip tray beneath it. (I could even fill it with pebbles and water and let it evaporate upward?)

Lastly, I have plenty of terra cotta saucers on hand! They just don't fit in the small clear acrylic terrarium. Maybe I could put a terra cotta prop tray in a larger glass greenhouse, with pebbles/pumice/lava rocks and water beneath it? Hmmm.

I'm just stumped about which setup could strike the perfect balance between not letting the props dry out, while not providing too much moisture.

Ideally, a self-sustaining setup would be best so that I don't have to mist them every other hour. Things dry out so quickly here, I've left a damp paper towel out on the kitchen counter before that was completely dried out just a few hours later.

Thank you for any advice or suggestions you can provide!

Hi all, I was given this Aloe the other day, i was told it flowered and it started to grow like this, is there any way to save it and bring some life back to it. Thanks in advance

Can I just get suggestions on when to actually plant this little one? The last survivor 🤭 I looked online and wasn’t seeing a clear answer as to when to actually do it. This is about 2 months in.

My aloe has a bunch of these white spots all over. Does anyone know what it is?

Boobie cactus

Hello everyone, how are you?

Can anyone help me identify this (supposed) succulent? I’m having a lot of trouble making an accurate identification. Thank you so much for your help!

I apologize for yet another question about lights, but I need your expertise to clarify something that’s confusing me. I thought we needed special lights specifically designed for plants. However, after reading the light manual https://www.reddit.com/r/succulents/wiki/light_and_watering/#wiki_do_i_need_a_grow_light.3F, it seems that this light https://www.emag.ro/tub-fluorescent-philips-master-tl5-he-t5-21w-20000h-lumina-rece-8711500610775/pd/DBMLKNBBM/ may be sufficient. Can you please confirm?
So is that all I want to look for lots of lumens and 6500k?
The end goal is a light that doesn't need to be too close. I want something over my laptop so I can keep some plants on the desk too. The 1 I have doesn't do much. The plants don't die, but they don't grow either.

So I have this little barrel cactus purchased from a big box store. I've had it about a month. Clearly she isn't very dramatic and doesn't have much personality. My question is how do these things show over or underwatering? The needles which were all a very nice beige/yellow when purchased, are turning a darker brown. Is this a sign she is too dry, too wet, to upset with a new environment, angry at me? She has shut down and won't talk to me anymore. I think she must be sick!
