Snake plant:

Ah, I failed to mention that the first one is fuzzy. I don’t think it has ever gotten quite the amount of light it ought to inside this house, but it has, over time, been in different locations, and this is where we always end up. It had occurred to me lately that perhaps it is in the wrong sort of container as maybe it is meant to creep and thereby root itself as it goes along.

That 1st one, I wanted to ask if it is fuzzy. It reminds me of Echeveria pulvinata, or Pulv- Oliver or harmsii - they are all fuzzy. They need lots of light to grow compact, and easily grow long, woody stem. It is ok to restart them if they get out of hand. Here is one of my small ones (only about 7", it had been cut down few times), it is going to bloom. Are the leaves/plant similar?

Plant doesn't need big pot either, but definitely more light. It will grow more compact. It will grow bit longer stem eventually, that is 'naked' with rosette on top. Consider supplemental lights while succulents grow indoors.

Your jade likely needs more light too. Difficult to tell from the photo you posted, maybe it could be pruned too. Pot doesn't need to be large, I prefer shorter and wider pots for mine to get more stable base.

Sansevierias are known to eventually burst pots - over time, they keep growing their rhizomes/roots quite a bit. They don't need as much light as other ucculentss. I already divided mine since pot was too full. But it was after about 4yrs. Here is photo of original plant (in original pot and soil before I repotted it) and same one about 3yrs later (about 1yr before dividing):

If possible, pls. rotate your photos, and try to take clear close-ups for easier ID. For tips about pruning, photos from few different angles would help.

@J Williams I think you asked some amazing question. I'm sorry, but can I request that you limit the amount and do multiple post. This is going to become very confusing very fast. Some people will be writing about one plant while others will be about another. It will be pages and pages of information that will be hard to decipher for you. As well as people that have similar question. Can I suggest two plants per post. I believe that makes three post.

Open two tabs or even four tabs in your web browser. You then can cut and paste what you have written here in a new post.

Again sorry, I don't mean to make more work for you. I just think they are amazing questions that deserve fair and clear answers.

Thanks.

Respectfully, I wouldn't think that posting few different plants in same thread is a problem - but it may help if they are numbered. It also helps if you post couple of plants first (original post), then follow up with posting few more using comments in the same thread. Usually, one will post questions about different plants in same thread. Very often, ppl have been encouraged to do that rather than starting too many new threads.

Sorry, I disagree. This is not just a few different plants. This is Six different questions care questions for Six different plants. It will get very confusing for me. Maybe, your just better at being able to understand how the different discussions all match up to what plant. I think J Williams might learn more with things being more precise. But, it's up to he/her if they want to do. I just made a request, obviously it only took a few minutes for someone to dislike it, maybe it's just me.

Sorry if my comment offended you. It is not that I 'dislike' your suggestion. I am just saying there are options, and they have been suggeted by many others in the past.

It is up to poster, but better and more answers have been given if plants photos are numbered if posted in same thread. Sorry, it is just different opinion, not a dislike, and not a "must".

ETA: btw, op can not be changed after 1 hour.

The main bromeliad plant will die once it has flowered but the pups will take over. This may take a year or more before you can remove the mother plant as the leaves die. It is also possible to cut off the pups and reroot them as individual plants instead or having them form a clump. Your choice.

Ok, I have heard the pups can be removed, but so far, they seem very firmly integrated to the mother plant, guess we will see.

Jade is a rehab, so it has been developing over time, I was wondering if it was getting leggy, but it still seems sturdy and leaves are a good size and plump, doesn’t look stressed to me. But there is hardly any soil around the roots now lol. I generally take an easy does it approach to plants unless it seems like something is growing crazily. Will see if I can get a suitable pot, found a bulb pot, but I think that will be much too much soil.

Yes, echeveria seems possible, it does seem to form rosettes at the end of those long stems.

Now you get to see the mess.

If I were to prune it, would I bring it down something like 1/3? I could take the big tops off...

Bulb pots are good IMO, and hey come in differet sizes.

Here is a jade I potted into that kind of pot (it was tied/secured until roots get established in a mix). Pot is not very visible, it is 8" diameter, and quite shakkow - 4" tall/deep. Plant is just a touch under 22" tall (from soil level):

It is all one trunk, branching very low. I will do some prunning this spring. I prefer one plant per pot. Potting mix is approx. same amounrs of sifted perlite and gravel, with small amount of turface. It drains very well. If potted in well draining mix, thereis np with amount of it. Large rocks help to support it.

Your plant could use some more light, so it grows more compact. If my plant, I would repot it now, let it grow over winter (there could be some more etiolated growth) and do some serious pruning in spring when there is more active growing. You can safely prune off 1/3rd or whatever is needed, plant will respond and grow well. All etiolated growth would be removed than. They grow very well if you can keep them outdoors in appropriate weather. Mine grow outdoors, in full sun. During winter, I keep them under lights (12hrs on/12hrs off) since days are very short and dark...

Numbering the pix would help, also actual direct questions would too. Sorry, but I had to go back several times & look for the specific questions. Yes, pls do rotate the pix.

Also maybe hold up the individual plant in question, it's hard to see the plant being discussed among the other plants. But I DO know how that goes, as I have a lot of plants.

I might have separated my questions by plant type. Example: the 1st plant, Ech / Sedum is a Succulent, as are the Jade & Sans. The unknown Cacti are Cacti & the Bromeliad is a tropical, an entirely different group of plants.

Generally speaking, J, IME, I'd be more concerned w/ better draining mix than pot size. I use 50/50 C&S mix & Pumice, 'cause I have the Pumice, but if I didn't, I'd substitute 50% Perlite for the Pumice.

The mix for your Sans looks too finely particled to drain well. That can make all the difference for Sans. Sans can be pretty slow growers, especially indoors, so maybe a pot only 1 or 2 sizes larger, but only if they have roots that large.

Just to show you plant to pot proportion here's my Bantel's Sensation. While we're here, note how large particled my mix is.

Honestly, no idea what the snake plant ended up in, most of the pot is root tho. I have been mulling over a move, it has been progressing steadily. I’ve got some perlite I could mix in. I am a bit of a low budget gardener, and tho I may have too many plants, I think they are my therapy lol. The hard part for me, is that spring, the obvious time to do plant care, is when I go back to work.

Sorry, but no, I would not mix Perlite into that muck. I'd toss that old, unknown mix & start FRESH if you'd like your plant to succeed.

Whatever muck it was no longer exists. And I have been growing plants for over 20 years, I do make mistakes but I have been growing stuff with a decent amount of success.

All suggestions for planting succulents in well draining mix will make them to grow better, and much easier for you.

Perlite is quite inexpensive (I do not have pumice). It is as easy as buying bag of C&S soil and bag of perlite, and mixing them together. Using just a bit of perlite (or pumice) doesn't help much, so be generous with it. Mix should look like this:

(Photo from one of our members). BTW it is a good idea to sift or rinse perlite (or pumice) using a large strainer, to get rid of dust.

This S. 'Moonshine' was given to me in late 2014. Quite beat up (left photo), and in poor soil (middle photo). I only repotted it into very gritty mix. Had to divide eventually, and now have 4 large pots (8" and 10") with healthy plants. Each has new growth every year (right photo), usually more than one:

It does seem every time you buy potting soil, it is a bit of a crap shoot. Some of it seems good, other times you just wonder what the heck they used to make the mix. You really see difference when you try to grow vegetables as you only have one season to get everything done.
