OMG WAIT. Upon taking a closer look, they look like cotton-y bumps. Those are mealy bugs, real a-holes

That was my thought too. Dunk a qtip in rubbing alcohol and wipe 'em all up

I'm actually dealing with these (I'm not allowed to use the other word so) annoying things on all of my mature von nurnbergs. I don't know why, but they seem to favor succulents and orchids. Just today I used the method mentioned above, worked very well. One has a HUGE amount of them, so I'm thinking of squirting the rubbing alcohol right on them

Cactus people, what has been your worst cactus experience, I need to know

Gonna see if we have any alchohol and if we do I'll try and deal with them today once it warms up. Only have about six succulents right now, so hopefully I can keep at least one alive. Only reason I care at all about them is because the original was a gift from a family member.

I hear that. My string of hearts was the last plant my grandma gave me, and her memorial was this weekend. I have one little nodule left, not even any leaves. This winter was extra hard and killed most of my plants between the dry air and weird temps

Heirloom plants are such a beautiful thing. Hope yall can grow them back even stronger

I came home from my trip out west last week to my orchid growing a second spike. I honestly didn't know that was possible. Can't wait to see it in bloom!
