I guess I'm a gymno momma now 😅

Went to my local succulent/cacti nursery for a Bruce's Dragon, walked out with this beauty - I couldn't resist!!

Caput-Medusae Seed Pods :)

This is my first euphorbia, it helped kickstart my deep appreciation for this genus, and now it's gifted me some seed pods :) I have a small organza bag tied around them now so I can gather them when they pop <3 babies soon, hopefully!!

What cultivar of Rex do y'all think this is?

Found it on FB Marketplace for $15 and I'm picking it up tomorrow. Was just wondering if anyone could narrow down what cultivar this is :) I've gotten mixed answers from Google, and I am new to begonias, so anything would be appreciated ❤️

Inherited a giant Jack Daniels commercial display bottle, only found one other listing on the internet saying it sold for $400, but I'm not sure what it could really be worth

My dad committed suicide December of 2019 and I've been holding onto this ever since. I'm not a big fan of alcohol, but since it was sentimental I've kept it around. I remember him telling me that a liquor store he frequented and made friends at gave it to him as a gift. I have no real use for this and I recently had a baby, so funds are scarce. Can y'all tell me how much you think this could be worth?

- It's a little over 3ft tall

- Made of resin or plastic, with maybe some wood as well

- It's dusty and has a couple small scuffs, but otherwise is in great condition

Any advice to help this little sedum, labeled "fairy", happier?

I took some cuttings before putting the main plant outside in an assorted succulent pot, and while they are growing (as you can see) progress has been verrrrrrrry slow. The main plant I put outside isn't doing too great either, it's very leggy despite receiving direct morning sun and has dropped most of it's lower leaves. I can't seem to dial in the best care, my other succulents are doing great (except for another sedum), so any advice would be very much appreciated 🙏

Haven't been able to prop my bear paw by leaf alone, so here goes my attempt to prop by stem. Wish me luck!!

Tips on chopping/propping, and encouraging bushy growth?

I have a beautiful rooted plant, about 15in tall in a 32oz pot, that's been doing well acclimating to my home humidity and grow lights, but she's pretty lanky and tall right now, and has been working hard on growing new leaves after she lost most of hers in shipping.

I am hesitant to chop and prop because I love her and don't want to stress her out too much, she's currently being supported by a bamboo stick and doing alright. However, I do believe that giving her a bit of a cut might help her in the long run by helping her redirect her energy to new leaves and more roots.

How can I successfully chop and prop without stressing her out too much? What have your experiences been?

Thank you in advance 🌱❤️

I knew Mother Of- plants were prolific, but I didn't really expect them to be THIS prolific..

They're all still baby props sharing a 2" nursery pot and they're already popping out little pups that are fully viable. Yes, that IS a root growing from that tiny pinprick of a pup. It's no wonder these ladies are considered insanely invasive.

If one were to hold a live person's face above (not in) a pot of boiling body parts, what would happen to the person breathing in the steam/vapors?

Back when I was really into taxidermy, boiling bones to melt off the meat/flesh was a common practice - and it was not pleasant. I remember accidentally getting too close to a pot for just a few seconds and the smell lingered in my nose for months afterwards. So, now I'm curious if there could be any repercussions if one were to be exposed to that long-term

Friends, or foes?

Little white squiggly worms in my springtail terrariums. I'm pretty sure they're harmless detritus worms but wanted to see what y'all thought :)

Proud of this lil guy 🥹

About a month ago I bought an old mother monstera cobra and took a few cuttings off before putting her outside - this one has been in my bathroom under grow bulbs and recently popped out this beautiful variegation 🥹

Could this split rock be forming twins..?

This split rock arrived to me on June 10th lookin a bit rough, but there was an itty bitty nub emerging.

About a week or so ago I replaced the nursery soil in it's 2" pot with a mostly inorganic substrate mixture of gravel, perlite, and some coco coir, and put it back in. I placed it in a northwest-facing window, where it gets lots of afternoon sun; I'm in Texas, so it's getting pretty hot outside, but I keep my apartment at 75 degrees.

A few days ago I noticed the little nub had grown and the outer leaves had actually split - the nub looks a little odd from what I've seen new sets of leaves look like and a few redditors seemed to think it could be pushing out a flower. Now, here we are today and there are two little nubs emerging - the older one still has an odd cleft, while the newer one looks fairly pristine.

I haven't watered it at all since it arrived, but the substrate mix I potted it in had a bit of moisture from the expanded coco coir.

I am a complete newbie when it comes to mesembs. I bought a small multi-pack of 8 different kinds to give them a try and all have been doing well so far, my baby toes are even flowering, but this split rock is definitely the most unique of the bunch in terms of growth... SO, I came here to see what y'all think :) I don't believe this is stacking, could it be that twins are emerging? Or do you think it's got a flower and a new set of leaves growing? Help a girl out!
