Hey all,
I have had this boobie cactus for a couple months and it kinda got shoved to the back of the shelf where the light wasn't hitting it directly and forgotten about 😬 it was already mildly etiolated when I purchased it.
I have moved it right under the light but im curious what my options are? What happens if if I chop the etiolated part off?
Thanks!
I have her in about 60% inorganic soil. Watered when she's been dry for a while. I'm just noticing these white blemishes. Any thoughts what this might be?
I have her under a grow light, but shes been in isolation for a couple days getting slightly less intense light because I was worried about pests.
Hey all, I have this what I thought was a string of pearls prop that I picked up somewhere a few weeks ago. I just started getting some growth after a rough start but its not round pearls. I have it under a grow light that I could move a bit closer if needed. Just curious if this etiolation or actually a string of tears?
This is my echeveria etna. First three pics now, last Pic when I got her in march.
Im not sure what's going on with her. Shes shedding all her lower leaves which I know is normal but she is barely pushing growth which is leading to a bare stem. I think her stress colors look good so I dont think its lack of light.
I have her under a barrina t5 grow light, about 2 inches away.
I water her when her leaves feel soft, which is about every 3 weeks give or take.
Does anyone know what might be going on?
My mystery snail keeps falling on her back and then cant get back up. I will find her on her back and far recessed into her shell. Then I put her in a glass Tupperware, where she will start moving again after a day. Then I keep her under supervision for a few days, return her to the main tank, just to have her be fine for a bit, stop showing up for food after a while and then I find her on her back again. I'm not sure what to do for her.
Her shell is a bit of a mess. Its been iffy since we got her but improving.
Hey all,
This maidenhair fern has always done pretty good for me, it was just a tiny lil thing back in March. Very minimal browning.
Recently I've noticed more brown leaves then normal, mostly on one side of the fern. I keep it under a grow light as seen in the third picture.
I keep the soil consistently damp, usually give her some water everyday.
Thoughts on what might be making her upset? Shes such a fun and well behaved plant otherwise 💞
Edit: my humidity is around 55% consistently
This is one of the few succulents giving me a hard time. Watered about once a month, under sansi grow light. Inorganic soil. Worried it may be rotting.
I'm not overly attached to this guy, but I want to know what I'm doing wrong😵💫
Ive had this plant for about 4 months and he kinda just looks like the same lil space rock as when I got him. I know they are similar to lithops so he wont grow fast. I water him when hes wrinkly and thats basically it.
Do they split like lithops? What does that look like? Do I need to water them only at certain times like with lithops? I honestly dont even remember what this dude was called.😗😅
Thanks!!
This is the first plant I've bought, and I love her very much. I used to keep her in less than ideal light, resulting in some slight etiolation. You can see in the first two pics that the bottom leaves just don't look great. Third pic is when I got her in 2026. For watering, I water her whenever the leaves feel soft, about every 4 weeks or so.
I was thinking about maybe beheading her to achieve that tight growth for the entire plant. As I understand, the bottom leaves would be tight if she was getting enough light, which is why I am worried that chopping her won't do anything. She is about an inch underneat my barrina t5 strip. There are multiple strips next to each other along the shelf, and she is right underneath one.
My question is, will chopping this plant and repotting the top make her grow in more beautiful? I am not even sure what kind of echevira she is, the label said Pearl of Nurnberg but I am not sure if that's accurate.
Please advise what else I can do for my baby. I was thinking about getting her a nice terracotta pot soon but I want to fix the lighting issue first.
I posted not to long ago about my baby snail when I thought he had passed. I quarantine him and he came out of his shell. I'm just not sure how to help him. He's been quarantined in a tupperware and spending most of his time sitting near the surface. I saw him eat last night. I dont know what is going on because it seems the inside of his shell is slightly separated from the shell itself. Please advise what I can do for him.
Currently have a sick snail in isolation. I know they poop a lot but this guy has been barely eating and within one night this is all over the floor of his tupperware.
I found him like this in the corner of a tank. I have another snail thats the same age that is about 1.5x his size so hes always been a bit runty. His operculum is still holding tight and he doesnt smell. I moved him to a hospital tank by himself for now. I wonder if he might just be gone?
Checking parameters now, all shrimp and other snails are doing good.
