Is it just sun burnt? If so how do I help it? The big long part is brown

    It's normal and I agree with Rina.

    You may also consider moving your Fenestraria to another pot because its watering needs are quite different.

    Completely normal. In full sun, this plant will have a nice purple color.

    Good advice from Rina and Ewwmayo.

    Ok thank you so much! This is a picture of my pot will you tell me please which ones I should move into different pots and what each of them need from me to take care of them? Y'all are like the plant whisperers haha I love it!! I'm now realizing after what you guys all are saying that my selection was probably not the best for all the different types I have....

  • 9 years ago

    The top right one for sure, it's most likely Fenestraria rhopalophylla. It only needs water when the leaves shrivel a bit - right now any more water and the leaves will start to burst.

    Top left is a Haworthia which could stay in the same pot or move to a separate one as well because it can't stand quite as much light as the others.

    You live somewhere hot?

  • 9 years ago

    Hahaha!! YES! TEXAS Ok great! What about the other ones?

  • 9 years ago

    Probably ok! Maybe you use a smaller pot or could add in few other succulents so that the pot is not too large.

  • 9 years ago

    Ok awesome! Which plants do you recommend replanting? And may I please have the names of them as well?

  • 9 years ago

    Move the top left one: Haworthia retusa probably.

    Move the top right one: Fenestraria rhopalophylla.

  • 9 years ago

    Could I put those two together you think? Are they similar enough?

  • 9 years ago

    Definitely not! =)

  • 9 years ago

    Thank you so much!

  • 9 years ago

    Was this a good selection to put together for indoors? Also what's the name of the right green one on the left?

  • 9 years ago

    Are they in glass container? Does it have drainage holes?

  • 9 years ago

    Sorry, but that looks like a succulent coffin... Terrariums can cook succulents, and tend to drain poorly. Also, that is a lot of soil for 3 little plants, this will increase your rot risk a lot. Your soil also seems quite peaty and organic, this is not good for succulents. Mix it 1:1 with perlite or pumice if you can find it, and put them in smaller pots with good drainage holes.

    The left green one is probably a Sedum, it will take more light than the Haworthia in the middle. Right plant might be a Sedum also, but hard to tell..

    I don't mean to sound negative or critical, I just want your beautiful plants to stay happy and healthy for you!

    Happy growing!

    Yes to what Breton said...and IMO, plants look better if potted higher up in pots (sorry, that is maybe just a beef of mine - but they look lost deep inside containers). Besides better look, deeper you leave them less air circulation there is, and some extra humidity could be created. Especially in a glass container that heats up even faster.

  • 9 years ago

    Ok thank you guys so much!

  • 9 years ago

    And it does not have drainage holes

  • 9 years ago

    What r the names of the top and bottom one in the following picture?

  • 9 years ago
    last modified: 9 years ago

    And why does the one on the bottom look so unhealthy? I don't know what to do to help it......

  • 9 years ago

    I really like that top plant! Maybe a Pachyveria? The bottom one (not sure what it is) appears to have been sunburned. Was it suddenly put in a brighter spot? Or was this one in a terrarium. In terrariums especially, bright light plus lack of air movement can cause burn spots like this.

    Your so helpful!! Thank you! It was moved suddenly into the light. I was informed that they have to accumulate to the sun after I had put it I in the sun all day .

  • 9 years ago

    Do you know how to take care of patchyverias?

  • 9 years ago

    I'm pretty confident that the one in the bottom picture is in the patchyveria family too....

    last modified: 9 years ago

    These are all of my succulents. Please tell me which ones to put in separate pots and which ones can partner up with each other in one pot. :)click on the picture so it's not so distorted.

  • 9 years ago

    Okay. Both Haworthias can go together. Those would be the top right in the big pot, and the middle in the glass container.

    The one in the middle of the big pot can go with the one directly to it's left, and maybe the one to the 6 o'clock, as well as the plant furthest to the right in the glass container.

    I don't know about the rest, though.

    You can pot each separately, and then put few pots inside decorative container. Easy to takeout for watering, easy to move around for different arrangements or if you see that plant is not happy with its location.

    Thank y'all so so much! Very helpful:)

  • 9 years ago

    Ok so please tell me what climates and how much sun these need.... could I put them together in a pot?

  • 9 years ago

    Can the sebum handle 24-7 hot sun?

  • 9 years ago

    The the baby toes handle 24/7 direct sun light?

  • 9 years ago

    They can take a lot of light, yes. Introduce them slowly to higher light. Dunno about the sun in Texas but in Canada it's more like 12 hours a day / 7 days a week, haha. =)

    Lots of good reliable sites like Llifle where you can do some research on the ones everybody has helped ID for you:

    Can pachyverias take heat or more just regular light not direct heavy heat?

  • 9 years ago

    Also do the haworthias stay indoors with me or can they just be under the patio with regular light not heavy direct heat on them?

  • 9 years ago
    last modified: 9 years ago

    Haworthias can stay indoors or out, they like bright, indirect light. Fine either way as long as not out in direct sun. Unless it's one of the windowed ones which like more direct light.

  • 9 years ago

    Ok and what about the patchyverias?

  • 9 years ago

    How do I water patchyverias?

  • 9 years ago

    And how much sunlight do they need? Do they need direct sunlight?

  • 9 years ago

    That didn't help

  • 9 years ago
    last modified: 9 years ago

    No? Sorry.

    From that link here is the growing info they gave:

    "Cultivation and Propagation: Easy to grow. Does great in succulent pots with other similar plants like Echeverias.
    Soil: It will require a free draining compost.
    Moisture: It needs regular water in summer, but reduce watering during winter month, but fairly drought tolerant elsewhere.
    Sun exposure: It love full sun, with some shade during the hottest part of the day. A good light exposure helps to keep the plants compact and encourage leaf colour and flowering."
