Houseplant, succulent and bonsai thread!

[Rock17]

Sorry I didn’t specify; they’re succulents. Edited previous post for clarity. And I don’t know if my house has any windows that are sufficiently full sun, I’ve had issues with that before.

What species? Can you post a picture if you don’t know? Don’t give them full sun because it might burn their leaves (especially with members of the crassulaceae family)

Thanks, I don't normally have a green thumb but I've been lucky with these

I'm not a total lost cause as I have a menagerie I manage to keep alive in the south window. There's an English Ivy, Swiss Cheese, palm, pothos, some Christmas cactus type one, and even a sunflower that hitchhiked in from a plant I had outside.

Let me know if it isn’t showing up.

One is a kalanchoe blossfeldiana. One is an echeveria or Crassula. I can’t tell the type of the other because it is hidden by the leaves of the echeveria/ crassula

Is that angle better?

I would think it's a Jade tree of some sort.
My 2 cents worth:
since they are in a glass bowl you don't want them in direct sunlight.
However, if you have them inside they should be fine, because normal window glass already filters out a lot of light, and the amount reduces drastically with every yard you move away from the window.
Even cacti can get sunburned. So you want to condition your plants slowly to brighter light outdoors. I usually start mine off on the shaded north side of my house, then gradually move them into brighter spots.
Or I place them in shade on the south side and then gradually more into direct sunlight. Overcast days are perfect for that!
Lovely plants.

It just looks like a moss to me. This angle has helped me confirm that the non flowering succulent is an echeveria.

It is in the same family as a jade tree.

Okay thank you, I moved it to a table next to the window for now. How often do I need to water them?

once every two weeks in the summer. Don’t water in the winter unless it has started shrivelling up.
