Nice information! I have some blooming right now and grow them in ground. They do well in part sun with little water in zone 9b.

Hi, me again. I just discovered succulents growing wild in a neighbors yard. I brought some home and used a plant app to try to identify them. I didn’t have any luck. They look very similar to those in your video. The leaves curve up a little more and are closer together so I see less stem. They were very leggy, (?) so I made cuttings from them. I kept the stems in case baby’s can grow from them. Thanks for your time.

Hi. Great video! I have a “miniature Pinetree“ that has leaves that are turning brown then falling off. For a normal plant it might look like it didn’t get watered enough.
It is in a well draining pot with cactus soil to help it drain quickly. It is in a window facing east. Gets watered once a week. Any help and suggestions before it dies would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! 🙏

I bought one and it's only a month old but some of the leaves are turning yellow. Can I stop it from dying completely?
