I got these two plants in August at Walmart. I have no idea what they are. They made it thru the winter just fine. I was so proud. But now the one is going goofy. As you can see from the one pic the lower leaves are shriveling up and the stem is hard. I have no idea what these are so I couldn't Google. If anyone would help I would appreciate it.

Thank you The one is a Necklace plant. The top of one of the other ones came off when I replanted it and is doing well.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong with the main plant? I lost my little Aloe plant I had in with it. I would like to save this one if possible.

How are you caring for them, i.e., water, sunlight, temperature, fertilizer, etc.?

Ok here it is. I uploaded the wrong pic.

Hi Widow,

Your Crassulas are suffering from poor light, as Amy suggested, but also from a pot that is way too big. With a pot that large and so much soil, I suspect the roots may be slowly rotting. Time to uproot very carefully and check the roots and if there are any healthy ones, then repot into the smallest pot you can find.

I know a lot of folks are confused about repotting and inappropriate pot size for plants. It is the single most common cause of plant problems. I have recently completely an article on this topic that explains it all in excruciating detail. You won't find this information anywhere else. If anyone wants a copy, send a request to me at wcreed@HorticulturalHelp.com

I'm assuming the smaller pot is also appropriate for cacti too?
