Complete novice between me and my husband. We are guessing and disagreeing with each other on everything. But both ultimately want a garden to enjoy.

Kalanchoe daigremontiana syn. Bryophyllum daigremontianum

It was a blinking slug @cazz47. Got it straight out of there. Hopefully they should be all alright now.

😠 little gits Helen see how tiny they are ...grrr... 😔 but if I were you I'd sprinkle a few slug pellets on top of your pots too cos they are so tiny you may have missed some! Better to be safe hun @confusedpossum

Can anyone tell me what is happening to the leaves on this please. I had to go into hospital as emergency last Friday they'd been watered so OK to leave. I'd put them in the spare bedroom window sil, came back today to find them like this. #advice

Looks like there's a little slug slime on the left Helen! 😔 check under edge of pot during day time and maybe a teeny one is hiding!! Either that wait till dark and check then when it's maybe out and about! Also if you have any pots nearby it could have crawled to them hide out then come back to this one!! There's some very tiny ones around at mo! 😠 if you have some slug pellets just put a few around edges of pots should catch little bugger!! @confusedpossum

Separated all my babies. Out of 13 I got 12 grew. And some of the babies on. Couple of the baby leaves that came off accidentally in travel are back in the original pot I don't think they'll do anything because they broke off before they were ready to fall off. #motherofathousands

Slightly annoyed. Left it on the side to take a picture to show my friend that gave me them and hubby has knocked them over. 😟 Managed to find them all but there was only 1 that hadn't rooted. Hope they're tough enough to survive and carry on. 😧

Are they like grown up succulents for watering? About every 2 weeks Hayley? @hayleyaj

Give them a light spritz once a week. They'll do their "thing". No direct sunlight, but a bright place 😊

I've been spraying them probably more frequent than I should. Feels wrong to just leave babies. Lol @hayleyaj

They'll be fine! Succulents thrive on neglect!! As long as they are not in direct sun, they'll put down roots. Then once you have 👶🏻 you can spritz a bit more often. But once we get to Autumn/Winter cut back as they'll stop growing 😊
