My aunt surprised me with this pot and I knew just what plant it belongs to

Yes, they're hella thirsty 🤭 I basically live in an air dryer during the summer.

But their growth is coming along beautifully and they are the happiest, easiest bunch to care of and admire.

So, so happy with him. Finally find the right sun spot and watering schedule. Been a pleasure watching him grow 🌱

This is a fishbone prop I got back in December. It rooted well, is now exploding with new growth and generally seems very happy. I'll be repotting it soon into a bit better setup.

My question is regarding the Fishbone/zigzag leaf definition. Should my little guy get better light for the new growth to come in better defined?

As you can see it came as a well defined leaf at the bottom, then grew a less defined leaf and then all the subsequent growth has been less defined.

Any tips or suggestions welcome 😊

First photo is end of September 2025 and the 2nd photo is today. Beauty.

Hello all,

Firstly I apologize for all the photos I'd just really love some feedback and opinions from you knowledgeable people.

This is my Faucaria Tuberculosa. I bought it in May (noticed right away she had a unique morphology) and this is how she's progressed.

Her leaf pairs are not coming out perfectly rotated from another and she has pairs shoving in from quite literally every crevice.

I've posted her several times on r/fasciation just to get an idea of what's going on with her to no avail. She's not crested or fasciated but her growth pattern is odd and I'd love to know if there's a name for this phenomenon or if this is just a quirky thing this plant does.

I added photos from nearly every angle and some admittedly terrible photos of leaf pairs emerging from lower leaf bases. I highly doubt you'll need more photos but if you do, I have them 🤭

Thank you for reading and I would love truly any thoughts, opinions or feedback about my little monster.

She's become a sort of rorschach test for toothy things, so what creature does she remind you of? 🦈

Finally, and to my delight, she flowered! This finally made way for a positive ID. Melaphora Crocea 🏵

The big one is anchored, the small one wasn't. I pulled out and noticed these 2 new roots. Put bin back in the soil and I will not be touching him again.

3 months to roots!

She flowered for me completely without my noticing. What a cheerful flower and 2 more to come 🏵

She was worth waiting for ❤️

Hello little fella!

My first snake plant so he's been through a lot of shuffling to find the sweet spot for him on my balcony.
