Frozen succulent? Did I freeze my poor plant? It got down to about 19 F last night, and I know Sempervivum are very cold hardy. She just looks so sad and grey now. #succulentsquad #succulentlove #sempervivum #plantaddict

What is this indestructible, auto regenerating, extremely tiny white bug on my hen and chicks?!? Whatever it is, it's super tiny and a slow crawler, even smaller than a grain of sand. They're mostly on the pot. I've seen a few on the leaves but mostly just the pot. I don't see any in the soil but they're incredibly small so I could be missing them. I've sprayed with Neem, alcohol, Castile soap, and pest repelling essential oils and nothing phases them. The other day I sprayed THREE times and they were unaffected, still prancing around like they owned the place, I'm pretty sure I heard them yelling at me "HaHa we're here to stay!" š¤£ My plants are grouped together (not able to quarantine due to limited lighting) and no other plants has gotten this bug despite being together. The soil is a mixture of cactus mix, perlite, and orchid bark. I was hoping maybe it was just soil mites but I don't see them in the soil and I did see a couple on the leaves (although they are mostly on the pot). Any idea what it is? At this point I'm tired of spraying it and my fingers are crossed that it's a beneficial bug? Cuz this mofo is indestructible! #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #succulentlove #succulentsquad #pestcontrol #sempervivum

Showing some not so happy neglected succs, that I left behind at my moms when I moved all my plants to my boyfriends houseā¦ (heās very accommodating amirite?!š) ā¦ and some also happy succs that are outside in containers at my moms, that Ill be leaving there ! For the happy succs, we have some sedums & a hens & chicks varietyā¦ I didnāt get a pic of all the hens but I did get a picture of the biggest one! Now for the sad succsā¦ so I had recovered sanders completely from frost, but then my cat decided to use her as a chew toyā¦ and sheās been inside since my mom forgot to move her back out after a brief cold period recentlyā¦ so that led to a bit of color loss/etoliation. She will be an easy fix so Iām not worried! Sanders and her babies have quite literally been through it all.. I even turned her pot upside down in the car this morning bringing her with mee šš³.. sheās tough to say the least ! And then I have my Sedeveria āDark Elfā that is completely etoliated and fading greenā¦ yes I knoww she needs better lighting conditions.. or rather more consistent. Since sheās been at my momās she isnāt always able to cycle the lights properly which is fine.. so I brought him with me to where I stay now, so I can get him back to normal! #GrowingSuccs #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #RecoveringPlants #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #plantproject #PetsAndPlants #Sedum #Sedeveria #GhostPlant #Graptopetalum #HensAndChicks #Sempervivum
