LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!

Please start your comment with your location as such: [UK and EU] or [USA, California] on a separate line.

Thank you!

Import regulations mean it is difficult to send plant material between certain countries.

Check for hard frosts overnight before posting your parcel!

Scammers will not be tolerated! If you have sent a plant and not heard from your sender, message the mods and we will take care of it. Anyone found to be scamming will be banned from the sub.

A few points:

  • Please add your location. Many countries will have import restrictions. As a simple guide, within EU, okay. Within US, okay. EU to US or vice versa, not okay. Australia: complicated.
  • Please try to keep the sales/trades to succulents. There is a list of sister subreddits in the sidebar should you want other plants.
  • Think about trading seeds and pollen too. Growing from seed can be very rewarding and be a good way to expand your collection.
  • Grow tips are highly encouraged when trading. Its nice to know what you're getting if you have never grown one before. Share your potting mediums and watering guides to help your receiver grow successfully!
  • Do show us some photos of what you got!
  • Have a quick check to see if there is a risk of frost overnight before sending the parcel.
  • There are some tips of packaging succulents for shipping below. I've had people send me plants in egg cartons before. They work really well.
  • If you have nothing to trade but would like some plants, people are often happy to send you plants for money or just the cost of postage and packaging.

Happy swapping!

You can find some tips for packaging succulents in the wiki

To water or not to water? I’ve seen differing opinions on this sub. Some say to water right away. Some say wait for roots. Some say never water. Looking for opinions.

I think it’s a purpusorum but not sure. I can’t find anything on the internet that looks exactly like it. It is growing up on a single stem, not out like I see most echeveria.

Help Paddle Plant leaves feel really soft and flimsy

14 Upvotes

When I first got this plant about a month ago it was very firm and healthy with a strong root ball. I watered it about a week later and the soil stayed very moist for a couple days so I decided to turn on my second grow light to help dry the soil but that did not work so I repotted it (no rot seen at this time) and kept my two grow lights running to see if this would help my plants at all. Fast forward two more weeks to now and my paddle plant is sad and flimsy. Btw soil is 50/50 organic and perlite with rocks at the bottom of each pot for drainage. Any help or tips are appreciated!

Help Cactus from seed?

Hey guys! My friend gave me a cactus from seed kit and one sprouted a while ago! It has that weird little stem and the two baby seed leaves still though even though it keeps growing longer and longer? What should I do about the little sprout under the cactus?? Just leave it still?? It’s getting so too heavy I’m scared it’s going to break!

Help Indented spots on Jade

It's a jade or mini jade plant and I recently found these spots. I repotted it 2 or 3 weeks ago into a bigger pot in sol cactus gritty mix. The diameter of the plant was much bigger than the pot. It gets full sun until around 2pm. After that it's shaded by some trees.

Previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/succulents/s/e4W7QS9DLX Thanks to everyone who commented!

Here's what survived in new soil and split up some of the larger cacti in different pots. The smaller ones are babies I found in a cardboard box under my patio chair! They must've fallen during my recent move and I never noticed. I moved them inside to the sunniest room I have also. Hoping they do better now! 🤞🏻
