Cleaned all the dead dried leaves off from under my E. colorata. Barely smudged the farina thankfully! I love my chalky girl.

I'm sorry to be a bother. I purchased a bowl of different succulents. Maybe not the best idea but...I'm wondering if you can help me identify a few. I tried looking it up but was only able to id the aloe plant as aloe humilis. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Omg I never check my inbox so I’m just now seeing this I’m so sorry!! I’m not sure what all of them are but I think the one with the whitish spikes is an aloe Minnie belle. The one with the variegated leaves stretching across the bottom of the second photo is a portulacaria afra I think. I’m not sure about the others. I’ve asked @succygirl for help in the past and she’s always been great!

Help my succulent is bleeding! What the fuck? @succygirl do you know what this is?

ETA this happened right after I knocked off the leaf below (you can see the stump in the photo I think) so I think I might have nicked it without noticing? another adjacent leaf also put out a little ‘blood’ but I wiped it off and it hasn’t come back

can anyone tell me why the bottom of my cactus looks like this? It's been like that since I got it, but it seems to be spreading upward

@succygirl or @growingsucculents maybe?

Photo of the roots on the right for reference lol

The current state of my plant shelf in my bathroom. The pothos is going a little crazy and needs a chop. 🪓

The propagation tray is all just string of hearts I ment to harvest earlier for succulent topped pumpkins but then I forgot.

The hearts are escaping....

I'm trying so hard not to kill another Lapidaria margaretae. I'm certain the yellow leaves are just the next to dry up, but the next pair up were wrinkly so I gave her a sip of water. Over watering these guys is SO easy. This is the only plant I have that I don't bottom water and is in a 2:1 perlite/soil mix.

So y'all, I got a job at an Aquaponics farm and it's pretty dope. My feet hate me and I need better insoles but the farm is neat.

Koi fish and rainbow trout supply the whole farm with fertilizer and all the plants are in coco coir plugs floating on styrofoam rafts. From the seedling room (which is actually done hydroponically for consistency) we put them into very dense rafts for a week or two and then into more spacious rafts as we harvest the mature plants at the end of the line. Local restaurants are our main clientele but we also sell produce to anyone coming in to our retail space. :)

So I get some farming and some retail.

Today on My Manger's Plants.

My Instagram got treated to some work pics so why not Tumblr.

Put my lights and plant shelf up so I could get all my plants off my floor. I have another grow light but need another shelf to put it on for those top plants. But I also have a few I want to get rid of so I'll probably make some space for them down below eventually.

My new job at the greenhouse is really chill and the manager has his entire office FULL of plants of his own. Lots of succulents! So I can bring some of mine to work and they'll fit right in. It'll be cool. :)

Succulent in the tomato bed.

Had to show you some of my manager's plants he has in his office. Couple a ROUND Bois. And a spiral aloe he raised from seed.

One of my manager's haworthia is gonna bloom. :)

Work pictures. Except the last one which is a rubber plant I bought today. I couldn't help myself and it was right next door!!

I love the stippling color change on these Echeveria.

This little string of hearts was one of my manager's plants and was looking pretty sad. He told me to have it because he thought it was on its way out. It just needed some water my dude!!! I threw it into one of the smaller aquaponic systems we had in the front retail space of the farm and it's doing great.
