I think that I have watered it way too much over the last few months and that it got some kind of root rot. It started dying off from the bottom like 2 weeks ago. Today it broke off in the middle.

Does anyone have any idea how to save my little green friend? Or is it too late?

I'll need to properly ID them later since they only have tags with their Japanese names, but I'm reasonably sure the top row from the left is a Leuchtenbergia, an Obregonia and a Crassula, and the bottom row is some kind of Gymnocalycium, a Haworthia, Blosfeldia liliputiana and another Haworthia.

I've had most these for 1-2 years and love how crazy they look.

Really cute, and they were really cheap to boot! Here's the other one:

They were all so purdy that I couldn't help myself. Surprisingly affordable too, even the bigger ones, which is always nice.

Hi everyone,

The label is saying that this plant is a "Portulaca" without specifying.

But the label also says to put the plant in partial shading with a humid soil. Another red flag compared to the Portulaca Umbraticola is that the label says it's highly toxic to humans when I found online that it's not.

Finally, I first tried putting it on a full sunlight balcony (bright hot sun from 10am to 9pm). It become red/yellow but bloomed, now it's on a partially shaded balcony (light sun from 7am to 10pm) and it's still loosing its leaves, even more, the color is worsening as you can see.

That's why I tried online identifiers and they all told me Portulaca umbraticola and that the needs were not the one I had on the label... I might be overwatering then (once every two days).

Should I trust the label and let it there and continue watering? Or shouldn't I trust the label?

This pic is of a big boy that looks a bit like a lophophora underneath the flower, and here's one of an amazing grafted ball of fun I got last year (rootstock is slightly sun bleached, but quite healthy otherwise):

Looking forward to more and bigger flowers soon!

Edit: one of my gymno triplets also started to bloom some time between 3 hours ago and now! I was hoping all flowers would open up together, but it's still pretty :)

These were the first cacti my wife and I grafted ourselves at a workshop last year in August. Both took, and are growing FAST - love how healthy they are!

For reference, here's a pic from last year (doggo for scale). Unbelievable how much bigger they are in less than a year!

those old plants... 🥹

When the weather allows it, I keep most of my plants outside, so the main picture is a view that shows my balcony from the far end, just to better display the extent of my wife's and mine craziness.

Here are some closeups of different racks and sections - I will properly organize it one day, I'm almost certain of it ;) You can click the embeds for full-res photos.

I also have a rack in the living room, next to the TV, with some lamps:

That's about it for now, at least until the weekend - might notice some more cute succ-ers when I go grocery shopping or whatever, and as you can clearly see impulse control is not my forte :P

It was very hot, very crowded and yet still worth it - finally got not just one, but both known species of Aztekium without going bankrupt - I wanted one for a long while, but they tend to be stupid expensive in Japan.

Love the two cute jellybeans too - Conophytum burgeri. Hell, love all of them, that's why I bought too many yet again :)

Here are a few closeup shots:

(And also some spider plants)

2 buds hiding under the flower ☺️

First bigger shopping trip this season, and I bought way too many again.

I'm kinda tired now, so just a quick brag before I properly id them :)

Here's some more shots:

Was grown from seed.
Last time I posted about it: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5241154

Today's haul from a small succulent show in Tokyo. From the left, Adromischus marianiae var. herrei, a hybrid Orthonna (cremnophila X herrei), Myrtillocactus geometrizans also known as "Boobie cactus" (no, really!) and a pwetty wittle Pseudolithos cubiformis.

Love every single of'em already!

Here's another angle: https://i.postimg.cc/Ghgz2cSW/Succulents-May2.jpg

Went to a succulent/cactus store today to get some repotting soil, came back with that, and these three little stowaways :)

From the left, Pseudolithos migiurtinus, a beautiful Pleiospilos nerii in bloom, and cute Gymnocalycium quehlianum var. calochlorum triplets.

Went to a gardening store to pick up some rosemary and thyme (since I still have more than enough of sage and parsley;)) and found these beauties: a white(ish) Echeveria sold under a moniker "Queen", and a beautiful plump Pleiospilos nelii. First new succulets this season - looking forward to seeing them grow!

I bought it for relatively cheap at a grocery store but it wasn't kept well; the graft was very squishy and slumped over. It didn't regain posture at all, became worse even. Eventually, I used rubber bands and a chopstick to improvise a support and it actually worked! It is now way firmer and if I remove the chopstick it doesn't slump forward too far.

I still can't stop myself from getting succulents. These two just arrived today - a fuzzy-wuzzy Mammillaria plumosa on the left, and a cute spiky potato (Pachypodium densiflorum) on the right.

Not the best time for potting, but I saw them online and couldn't help it :)

Went shopping for something else, and just randomly saw them at a flower shop - couldn't pass them up, and here they are! :)
