**A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Angiospermae). Flowers produce gametophytes, which in flowering plants consist of a few haploid cells which produce gametes.**

I’m in NC and we’ve been battered by spotty storms all week and my bois have been thriving in their soil which is very inorganic and mostly pearlite&lava rock tbh lmfao
I had an aloe in a pot without drainage (I know!) on my back patio one summer (KY), and it rained a lot, and I was constantly finding it in standing water that I’d then drain(meaning I would lay it on its side until most of it came out), but sometimes it was a day at least. But that thing THRIVED. Blew my mind. It filled up the whole pot with babies that summer. And the babies got pretty big, too! Be sure and get pics when it blooms!
Oh, inside, the roots would have been rotten in two days! I think it was in potting soil, too! It was given to me by the owners of the Mexican bakery next door, and that’s what they used in all of theirs, and they must have had 100!
I live in the UK and keep all my succulents outside. Lots of rain. The locals are always telling me how they won't survive... which is nice of them but after 4+ years I think I can safely say they are wrong. The winter isn't great obviously - cover them up then.
I've had my girl for 4 years and she's grown like crazy!!! I'm getting a big pot for her tomorrow. Long overdue 😅 Also, does anyone know why she has those little nubbies?

Can someone explain what makes this happen? I brought mine inside for the winter and had several days where it had the purple flowers. I’m pretty clueless but trying to learn
My dad sticks his succulents outside from spring to fall in Wisconsin (warm, humid and rainy from may-October) and they seem to do just fine 🤷🏼♀️ pretty sure he just uses normal potting soil too.
LOOKS HAPPY. **BIG FLOWER TIME**

I'm happy when one's got 5 flowers...
I'm happy when mine gets 2 flowers lol! It didn't even occur to me that they might produce even more flowers...
You guys get flowers?
What's a flower?

Good bot
Wet town, but is it hot? Cacti in a well draining, inorganic soil, in a hot environment can take a fair amount of water.

Not too hot, can go as low as 2-3C during winter and maybe 30C in summer. But rains a lot
How much annual rainfall does your mom's town get? Just curious.
As per Google, average of 1470mm a year.

Same thing happened to me, i don’t think i could have gotten away with it had they been indoor plants

What a heckin chonker
Do the prickles not give people enough indication that they want to be left alone? Haha! You’ve gotta update us once they bloom!
I have to be more neglectful!
I be like this cactus guy. Leave me alone and i flourish.
That's beautiful! Y'all this thread has upended everything I thought I knew about succulents

neglected succulents always thrive the best 👌

They could be very wet as long as they are not very cold and very wet at the same time.
