Cactus is what I am best at growing
I love it when they flower!

Can't blame ya! I've been focusing on cacti recently, that and my lithops

I'm an indoor plant enthusiast! I've currently got 5 orchids, 2 crinkle leaf ferns, cacti, succulents, aloe vera, moss, and dozens of other plants I need to ID.

Another succulent enthusiast! Do you know the species of your succulents?

Seriously, cactus flowers are some of the prettiest flowers out there! Do you try to pollinate them?

They are crazy pretty! I've only had white flowers so far, but I was told by the lady I got this one off that is should have yellow flowers. Excited for that!
Yeah, I need to weed it

I have not! How do you do that?

Also since there seems to be lots of knowledgable succulent people here, anyone know what's up with mine? (I only have one kind that multiplies like crazy) Quite a few keep dying, I lost my big original one. It always starts with these white spots.

One is a Jade Plant, not sure about the other. All I know is that the budgies found it very delicious so it's in plant rehab right now. I'd like to get more succulents when I get the shelf space.

There are numerous video tutorials on YouTube, but here is what I've done with my lithops. Take a small brush, gather the pollen from one flower, and then brush it on the next. Very simple actually. Another way I've heard is to grab the pollen with a pair of tweezers and place it directly on the other flower

Hmm, this is an aeonium. They usually go dormant in the winter, they look sorta dead. And at this time they're really susceptible to sun burn and root rot

Definitely do! Right now I've had to stake mine because she's decided to grow a bunch of offshoots

Really? I don't remember them ever doing this before! It is getting cold though so it makes some sense
