Please start your comment with your location as such: [UK and EU] or [USA, California] on a separate line.
Thank you!
Import regulations mean it is difficult to send plant material between certain countries.
Check for hard frosts overnight before posting your parcel!
Scammers will not be tolerated! If you have sent a plant and not heard from your sender, message the mods and we will take care of it. Anyone found to be scamming will be banned from the sub.
A few points:
- Please add your location. Many countries will have import restrictions. As a simple guide, within EU, okay. Within US, okay. EU to US or vice versa, not okay. Australia: complicated.
- Please try to keep the sales/trades to succulents. There is a list of sister subreddits in the sidebar should you want other plants.
- Think about trading seeds and pollen too. Growing from seed can be very rewarding and be a good way to expand your collection.
- Grow tips are highly encouraged when trading. Its nice to know what you're getting if you have never grown one before. Share your potting mediums and watering guides to help your receiver grow successfully!
- Do show us some photos of what you got!
- Have a quick check to see if there is a risk of frost overnight before sending the parcel.
- There are some tips of packaging succulents for shipping below. I've had people send me plants in egg cartons before. They work really well.
- If you have nothing to trade but would like some plants, people are often happy to send you plants for money or just the cost of postage and packaging.
Happy swapping!

Help I need to behead but I get mixed information online and need help!
This is the same plant I posted about 2 years ago! Look at her! *it is 7am before sunrise in photo and she sits in the windowsill normally.
She gets soo much sun now that we have a sun facing window. I think she is flowering for the first time? The new growth at the center has never happened before.
But in her youth, she got tall due to not having the same luxuries of the sun.
Should I behead her? She is getting wonky cause of her height, but I WILL SOB if she dies.
Also any good advice on beheading to help prevent said death will be GREATLY appreciated š š

My honeymoon was right after the wedding so I couldnāt preserve my bouquet but I took the succulent and it traveled with me and survived! I took it home to try to preserve it and itās doing great. Eventually, I might need to put it in a different planter!

Help Burroās Tail
This is my second attempt at keeping a Burroās Tail. Can anyone tell me from this photo what I need to do to help it thrive? Iāve definitely not overwatered and itās in a succulent mix and perlite. In a partially sunny place and itās still dropping leaves and parts are shriveled.
The second photo is the first one I got a few years ago and Iāve been bringing it back from the point of no return but itās looking rough. Iām sure I need more sunlight but not many places in my house for that.
Any help is appreciated.

Identification Does anyone recognize these seedlingsā species?
I donāt remember where I got the seeds from so I have no idea what they are. Second one is some Trichocereus I believe. The first one came in a pink thin pod and the second came in a round yellow pod. Theyāre both a little over a year old.

Help How do I save this Burroās Tail?
Last time I made this post it was removed for being too āvagueā. Let me try again.
My Burroās tail seems to be quite cooked by root rot, but the majority of the plant still looks to be alive.
How can I or what should I do to try and revive this plant/remove the rotten portions of its stem?
Iāve never propagated so Iām unsure what the proper procedure is to restore this plant. Please help ty!

Help What is wrong with my plant?
Hi! I have these two succulents, and both have these brown spots. I previously cut the succulents to keep them shorter, I do not know why they grow tall instead of wide.
Since I noticed the brown spots, I have removed the affected leaves, but they keep spreading. One of the plants even gave a baby, I just noticed.
I water them once every month or every two months, by soaking them in water for maybe 30 min, and then I leave them drain before putting them back in their pots.
What am I doing wrong? Is this some sort of infection?
Thanks so much for your advice!

Help A little help with my Jade plant

I rescued this Jade plant a few years ago from the side of the road. My first succulent experience. I read up on them a little (sandy, well-draining soil, far less water than anything living should need, lot's of sun, etc.) and have tried caring for it as well as I can. It's doing okay, though I feel like it's not exactly thriving. It hasn't gotten much larger than when I got it, though there is new growth, and I never seem to manage to acclimate it to the sun properly when I put it outside in spring.
It has tipped over and there are new branches growing straight up from the trunk. The part that is overhanging also seems floppy and there are some leaves that are wrinkled. Some have also shriveled up and fallen off, though not many. Same with a separate branch that fell off last year, and that I just stuck in the soil next to it. I'm seeing some aerial roots too, so I'm wondering if I'm actually watering too little now.
I'm also wondering if I should just cut the overhanging part off and let the new growth become the main part, or something else. I would like it to have a bit more shape overall and be self supporting, but maybe there's a better way to go about it? Thanks for any advice!
