Succulents are REALLY hardy. They can survive almost anything, they thrive on neglect. My haworthia lasted 6 months without a single watering. She bloomed during this time as well

What they don't handle well is too much water.

Yup. Someone gifted me an aeonium cutting in water, and it couldn't be saved. It wasn't in water for more than 12 hours. I've done leaf propagations in water, but they need to be calloused

Have you gotten any new plants this year?

Tried my hand at planting some cactus from seed this year…I’ll be honest I don’t know what I’m doing started these back in Feb or March, took the cover off this past month, pleased to find some babies in there.

Plant Boss come quick! @fluffycrow
Do you have any quick tips?

 

[fluffycrow]

Well, I tried some lithops seeds this year. Failed miserably. Most people do a plastic cup with drainage holes, soil and a good mist, cover it with saran wrap and let it sit there out of direct sun

Not sure what this is, I inherited it from the office last year before working from home full time. When it flowers it smells like stinky feet, though.

Thanks. Wish it smelled as pretty as it looks!

That looks like a purple passion to me I have one to. I didn't know about the flower smell though! Mine hasn't grown flowers yet.

Aha. I think you're right. I've never seen them like this
