Succulents @midwest.social Zythox @lemmy.dbzer0.com Is there any chance to save this one?
I think that I have watered it way too much over the last few months and that it got some kind of root rot. It started dying off from the bottom like 2 weeks ago. Today it broke off in the middle.
Does anyone have any idea how to save my little green friend? Or is it too late?

Succulents @midwest.social doctortofu @reddthat.com It's been a while since I went to a cactus/succulent event, so of course I couldn't come back home empty handed :)
I'll need to properly ID them later since they only have tags with their Japanese names, but I'm reasonably sure the top row from the left is a Leuchtenbergia, an Obregonia and a Crassula, and the bottom row is some kind of Gymnocalycium, a Haworthia, Blosfeldia liliputiana and another Haworthia.

I've had most these for 1-2 years and love how crazy they look.

Succulents @midwest.social doctortofu @reddthat.com Another cactus/succulent event, and I bought too many again :)

They were all so purdy that I couldn't help myself. Surprisingly affordable too, even the bigger ones, which is always nice.

Succulents @midwest.social Chef6652 @lemmy.world What am I doing wrong?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/19292615
Hi everyone,
The label is saying that this plant is a "Portulaca" without specifying.
But the label also says to put the plant in partial shading with a humid soil. Another red flag compared to the Portulaca Umbraticola is that the label says it's highly toxic to humans when I found online that it's not.
Finally, I first tried putting it on a full sunlight balcony (bright hot sun from 10am to 9pm). It become red/yellow but bloomed, now it's on a partially shaded balcony (light sun from 7am to 10pm) and it's still loosing its leaves, even more, the color is worsening as you can see.
That's why I tried online identifiers and they all told me Portulaca umbraticola and that the needs were not the one I had on the label... I might be overwatering then (once every two days).
Should I trust the label and let it there and continue watering? Or shouldn't I trust the label?

Succulents @midwest.social doctortofu @reddthat.com Some of my Gymnocalycium cacti started blooming
cross-posted from: https://reddthat.com/post/21540929
This pic is of a big boy that looks a bit like a lophophora underneath the flower, and here's one of an amazing grafted ball of fun I got last year (rootstock is slightly sun bleached, but quite healthy otherwise):
Looking forward to more and bigger flowers soon!
Edit: one of my gymno triplets also started to bloom some time between 3 hours ago and now! I was hoping all flowers would open up together, but it's still pretty :)

Succulents @midwest.social doctortofu @reddthat.com Progress report: grafted bois growing big and strong!
cross-posted from: https://reddthat.com/post/21025473
These were the first cacti my wife and I grafted ourselves at a workshop last year in August. Both took, and are growing FAST - love how healthy they are!
For reference, here's a pic from last year (doggo for scale). Unbelievable how much bigger they are in less than a year!

Succulents @midwest.social doctortofu @reddthat.com I've been asked to share my messy and disorganized collection, so here it is - feel free to point and laugh ;)
When the weather allows it, I keep most of my plants outside, so the main picture is a view that shows my balcony from the far end, just to better display the extent of my wife's and mine craziness.
Here are some closeups of different racks and sections - I will properly organize it one day, I'm almost certain of it ;) You can click the embeds for full-res photos.

Succulents @midwest.social doctortofu @reddthat.com Went to Tokyo Cactus and Succulent Grand Bazaar today and didn't come home empty handed ;)
It was very hot, very crowded and yet still worth it - finally got not just one, but both known species of Aztekium without going bankrupt - I wanted one for a long while, but they tend to be stupid expensive in Japan.
Love the two cute jellybeans too - Conophytum burgeri. Hell, love all of them, that's why I bought too many yet again :)

Succulents @midwest.social doctortofu @reddthat.com Today's haul from one of the biggest cactus farms in Japan

First bigger shopping trip this season, and I bought way too many again.
I'm kinda tired now, so just a quick brag before I properly id them :)

Succulents @midwest.social doctortofu @reddthat.com New succulents - May 2024
Today's haul from a small succulent show in Tokyo. From the left, Adromischus marianiae var. herrei, a hybrid Orthonna (cremnophila X herrei), Myrtillocactus geometrizans also known as "Boobie cactus" (no, really!) and a pwetty wittle Pseudolithos cubiformis.
Love every single of'em already!

Succulents @midwest.social doctortofu @reddthat.com Three Musketeers
Went to a succulent/cactus store today to get some repotting soil, came back with that, and these three little stowaways :)
From the left, Pseudolithos migiurtinus, a beautiful Pleiospilos nerii in bloom, and cute Gymnocalycium quehlianum var. calochlorum triplets.

Succulents @midwest.social doctortofu @reddthat.com First new succulents this year
Went to a gardening store to pick up some rosemary and thyme (since I still have more than enough of sage and parsley;)) and found these beauties: a white(ish) Echeveria sold under a moniker "Queen", and a beautiful plump Pleiospilos nelii. First new succulets this season - looking forward to seeing them grow!

Succulents @midwest.social Waluigi @feddit.de Euphorbia lactea cristata
I bought it for relatively cheap at a grocery store but it wasn't kept well; the graft was very squishy and slumped over. It didn't regain posture at all, became worse even. Eventually, I used rubber bands and a chopstick to improvise a support and it actually worked! It is now way firmer and if I remove the chopstick it doesn't slump forward too far.
