What kind of plants get along with Haworthia? Turns out this pot is too big for my #HaworthiaPygmaea; Iām not sure thatās the issue but Iām trying to do everything I can to get it to thrive! The thing is I recently repotted the guy, so I donāt want to send it into shock by repotting again so soon. I was thinking I might mitigate the issue of the oversized pot by adding a friend or two. Thankfully I have a plant/coffee shop within walking distance! But what kind of plants would be best? I figure probably other succulents, but any type in particular I should look for? Are there any non-succulents that would work?

I was bored and decided the plants needed fancy white backdrop photos. My #Echeveria āangel kissedā has grown so much since I got her! so pink and full, plus her flower stalk is SLOWLY but surely making its way out. It is so cool to have a plant flower for the first time! And my Licorice is STILL alive yall š«£ at what point could I consider it safe? Recap: when I noticed the weird orange rusting/ickiness, it was spreading so I plucked two leaves and then sprayed her with a baking soda mixture asap. Thereās been no new spread since then (itās been about 2 and a half weeks). The leaves that were spread to still have orange spots, but they havenāt grown or changed. Considering this is my first time dealing with a potential fungal issue, Iām not sure if itās safe yet or if the baking soda was successful in removing whatever caused the dying lookā¦ thoughts? The rest of them are in good health fortunately. #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #Haworthia #FairyWashboard #ElephantBush #SucculentLove

Haworthia identification help? Hey all, I have 2 haworthias and Iād like to make sure Iām IDing them correctly. 1.) Howie Mandel, my newest plant addition. Has larger white bumps on the outside of leaves while the tops are smooth and bumpless. Haworthiopsis fasciata? 2.) Rihanna, a plant Iāve now had for a few months but didnāt question its ID until realizing my new one is different. Has smaller white bumps on all parts of leaves, top and bottom. Haworthiopsis attenuata? Thanks in advance for any helpš #Haworthia #PlantID

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a good Easter & weekend! Here are some pictures from recently. (With updates) 1&2- Star Cactus- forming a bloomstalk, (1) it bloomed last year with 2 flowers. They are a cream/pink color. Canāt wait to see it this year, I recently have been keeping it outside in indirect sun. itās still too much light, so the color is a lil darker then normal. Iām going to move it back inside in my southern window. 3. Calico Kitten Crassula- repotted and watered it. Has lots of new growth. They tend to be fast growers so Iām hoping this one will be the same. I absolutely love the colors! 4. Sedeveria āSpring Jadeā- repotted this one this weekend. Iāve had it outside, but only keep it in full sun in the morning till about 10-11am, I then move it to shade, or filtered lighting (southern window) Inside. This one is super pretty & healthy so im gonna make sure it stays happy! šæš¤ 5. Sedeveria āSilver frostāšŖ“ - I also recently moved this one outside, so itās been in full sun. It was etoliating inside, so Iām hoping that will get better within the next week in better lighting. SIDE NOTE- I had a hard time identifying this when i first got it, Iāve had it under several things, however I recently saw Sedeveria āSilver frostā and felt it was a better fit. This plant isnāt on Greg, I tried to add it but it wouldnāt allow me. Does anyone know why? #GregFeedback #GregGang #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #GrowingSuccs #NewGrowth #Haworthia #Sedeveria #Crassula #StarCactus #BloomingSuccs #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #gregteam
