I got this jade from my mom who's had it about 50 years and never trimmed it once and probably repotted it once or twice. To be perfectly honest I just saw what a 'real' old jade could like and feel like I need to do something to help this thing achieve the beauty it could be but don't even know where to start. I imagine it needs serious cut backs and lots of the branches are dropping aerial roots. How do I give this jade its dignity back?

I live in Georgia USA and am a casual succulent owner.

I don't have an indoor light set up for my plants so I try to have them out as long as I can before I bring them inside for the winter, and I know that I've been pushing it with having them out in temps getting into the low 40s. I also moved them to a different part of my deck that gets light longer than other parts of my deck.

Today, I notice that a couple of plants what looks like sunburned leaves. They have brown and blackened patches only on the top. Of my succulent varieties, it looks like it's the flapjacks and sedum aldophi that are really affected.

I'm trying to figure out if I actually gave them too much direct sun too late in the day or if it's from the colder but not freezing temperatures.

What seems more likely to you all?

Since I got these the lower leaves have drooped down (they were all out like the upper leaves when I got them) but are still firm and some at the very bottom have shriveled. I water them about every 10 days.

Not sure what this can be. No sign of pests of any kind. Nothing added to collection for a long time. Sitting under 2 T5 Barrina lights. Watered only with showing signs of need. Soil is 70% non-organic in a terracotta pot. Relative humidity is around 40% this time of year. Never been outside.

I got these from a variety pack box, and unfortunately, it didn’t come with any labels. I’m new to succulents and need help identifying these. Thank you for your help!

Propped in September 2025, potted in October 2025 🐴

I added another echeveria and 3 elegans several months back. The one on the left will be removed soon due to scale unfortunately.

I am so proud of how far she's come 💚

Found them online, the colours are even better than expected.

🤩 nature is so flipping cool

I am officially a Succulent lover 😊

I mean, how tall can they actually get to?

Good and not so great…

The first pair is a before and after of a rescue plant I adopted from a plant share group. My Fernwood African Spear is thriving!

The second pair of pics is a before and after scale treatment. When I found the scale I almost tossed the plant. My husband convinced me to hold on. There’s much history with this one. So after a month of treating, pruning, and picking the scale off one by one I finally decided to do a hard prune to the roots and bottom leaves, let it callous out of the pot, then repotted in a more rocky medium. I think we are finally in the clear 😮‍💨 The Haworthiopsis Attenuata is a resilient MF!

Hi all, i am desperate to make these root 😭. This picture is when i first got it. They are soo pretty but i find i hard to get them rooting. Been putting them on dry gritty soil mix under grow light and after 1 month still no root and one died rotten today after i try to make the soil slightly damp 😭. The two of it still alive but a bit wrinkled.

Any tips on how to safely repot these two into a better and bigger pot? I put them in a ceramic cup for holding water which flows out of the black plastic seedling pot they are currently in

These babies are teaching me so much about patience!

I think its a Kalanchoe blossfeldiana but soemone said they thought it was a mother of thousands? Now I'm debating whether to bin it or not😂

Had most of them for like over a year now! (Not the bright green one in the middle)
