Is it under a grow light? You could also get a cheap soil warming mat if you’re feeling extra worried and want to give the roots as much coddling as possible. No clue how much the latter would help in practice but slowly ramping up the former until it’s getting ~8hrs or more daily (probably best to stay relatively within the bounds of the season wrt sunlight hours) will really stimulate leaf growth

Thank you for the advice I'm going to leave them in a sheltered spot for a week to let them dry out, and see what happens! If they look like they're getting sicker I'll try repotting them, and hopefully if they've got root rot or whatever it won't be too late

I was just thinking about this plant and wondering what happened to it yesterday. I'd try to gently clean that off with hydrogen peroxide (3%) or Dr. Bronner's and then try to make sure that spot stays nice and dry. The darker, moist looking area around the mold/fungus is a lot more worrying to me than the mold itself.

If that bit is getting mushy I would personally be tempted to cut it back further, despite the new growth, because with the size of that Crassula letting rot get into it is a much bigger risk to it than removing that bit of new growth.

Now that I finished my shelves and I have somewhere to put them with appropriate light I've finally been picking up some of the succulents I've been wanting for a while. I always take pictures when I get in a new plant so I can keep track of how it's doing and this thread is light on pictures in the winter so here's some new arrivals. Some of them are looking a little disheveled from living in a dark box for longer than expected—USPS is really poo poo lately.


Thirsty Curio citriformus (with titty cactus cameo)


I know there were some Haworthia fans in here. I picked up this two-headed 'Fat Albert' to qualify for free shipping on another order and he showed up a lot more chonky than I was expecting.


A slightly disheveled Selcorebutia rauschii.


This Gymnocalycium stenopleurum had a bud on it but it broke off in shipping .


Aloinopsis schoonesii.


These Obregonia denegrii arrived impressively well rooted.


My phone's camera can just barely handle how small this Monanthes polyphylla is.


These weird looking goobers are Adromischus marianiae 'Herrei' f. green.

croton, cultivar “Mamey”.

They like being outside in the summer, inside in the fall and winter. Also they’re very sensitive to big negative shifts in environment and will commonly drop their leaves if upset, especially if underwatered or cold. Otherwise pretty easy to keep alive.

A plant that drops all its leaves will still likely survive and throw out new foliage if cared for, but usually at apexes, meaning that you can still ruin the look of a plant if you get it to drop its leaves (if they’ve been in the sun for a few weeks they’ll usually start to bud further back too, but only after the apexes have budded). Takes pruning decently well, which can be a solution to bare branches.
