Stumbled across this precious little TBMC today

He's hanging out with the succys while I work, he's getting a new house and a primetime spot come lunch break 😎

Seeds are sprouting, and I have never grown these before - Advice, guidance?

About a week and a half ago I sowed 11 seeds and it looks like 8 of them have sprouted little nubs - what now? Currently they're in a closed 16oz deli cup with ventilation holes about 5in under a barrina t4 puck. Should I leave them be until they get to a certain size? Should I start to gradually increase ventilation over the next few weeks/months? Should any fertilizer be added now that they have roots? I worry about babying them to death, but I want them to succeed, so any advice or guidance would be very much appreciated 🙏❤️

I jumped on this today wanting to expand my collection and now I'm worried the label might be incorrect on the cultivar

Plant tag says "Adenium Arabicum RCN, PNW "Sabi Star" or "Black Giant"", so I'm not sure what cultivar this actually is. The caudex isn't dark, and it is tall, which go against what a "Black Giant" would typically look like. Is there any way to tell what cultivar this is before it flowers, or should I just wait?

I jumped on this today, wanting to expand my collection, and now I'm worried it was mislabeled. Thoughts?

Tag says "Adenium Arabicum RCN, PNW "Sabi Star" or "Black Giant"', and it's about 12" tall - I'm not sure if this was just heavily pruned and possibly etiolated, or if this isn't actually an arabicum since they tend to grow shorter and stockier. What do y'all think?

Tips on de-grafting a small/thin scion for a beginner?

I picked up a Bruce's Dragon graft today, I'm unsure of the rootstock as it wasn't labeled. I'd like to give this Bruce it's own pot but I've never de-grafted, or even grafted (yet)! It looks like this was grown from a single areole graft, if that makes a difference? Do y'all have any tips for a beginner? Is it even that complicated? Am I overthinking this? Thank you in advance 🙏🌵❤️

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 🙏

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.
