This is such a huge picture. I resized it as small as I could get it. Here is my one and only succulent. Look at the little baby. So if one of these little 'arms' fell off, I can just stick it back in the dirt and it will regrow? Wow! I love that there is a little snapdragon trying to grow in this pot too. This is like a super tiny pot.
yes it will grow
just like that, but you have to dry the ends a little bit before you insert into the dirt or else will become mushy and die eventually. Your pot Looks so good. 
I did something similar with a bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol that I mistook for a bottle of spring water. I tried to flush everything as soon as I noticed "something smells like isopropyl..." but my dragon plant, which is supposedly unkillable, lost some of its lower leaves. (there's no drainage in its traylike pot).It's an interesting thing.
I've read for years that coffee grinds are good for plants, and that McDonald's even donates their old coffee grinds (at least, before the pandemic) for fertilizing gardens.
And then... I found an article stating that the very reason the plants that produce caffeine are doing so is because it's a natural toxin that kills off the competing vegetation around them. Coffee grounds still contain caffeine after being used and are also highly acidic, which is deadly for some species, so using coffee grinds will actually kill off some varieties of plants.
Similar thing with tonic water (ask me how I know.)I had some neighbors who were just renting the house down the street for a few days, and when they left, they gave me some kitchen items they hadn't used up, including a couple sealed bottles of tonic water.
I'm not a drinker and didn't want to waste it, so good old Google had said that tonic water was "good for plants." Sure it is.
My plants started to wilt within just an hour or two of using it.Fortunately I noticed right away and was able to save them by thoroughly flushing out the soil.
As much as I'd love to use "natural" fertilizers, so far I've stuck to diluted Miracle Gro (I dilute it just a tad more than recommended to avoid burning the plants with too much of a supposed good thing,) and for my little indoor "garden", that seems to work best for now.
I ventured into Lowes to see what they had on the clearance rack (so I can get twice as many plants) and hit the orchid jackpot. They had all their orchids on clearance and there were a few cattleyas! They had and five of the larger specimens (hopefully mature enough to bloom) and there was one seedling. I purchased the seedling and one of the larger ones was named "Thaksina Gold" so I had to have her because I have a 'golden girl'friend named Thaksina and there was a Shinaphat Diamond White Swan and other three were hybrid Cattlianthe Sagarik Wax Cluster Maroons so I just got one of those (and I'm suffering from what I'd call "orchidmania" because I'm trying to resist the compulsion of orchid greed and going back after the other two.
That's a problem with those blooming cactus.Do you have a hard time getting your Christmas Cactus to bloom?
I have an Easter Cactus that I absolutely babied during it's blooming season (cut down on watering, moved it to a colder room, covered it and made sure it had no light for 14-16 hours a day for 6 weeks as instructed by Google,) but there wasn't even a single flower bud.
If it doesn't bloom this year, I'm thinking I may have to give up on it, as I specifically bought it for the flowers -- even though they only show up once a year!

I found an itty bitty zebrina that was sitting out of place among the I forget whats. It was clearanced because what didn't look dried up looked like it was rotting. I pucked all of that off and watered it and what was left perked up nicely. This is my second attempt at caring for a zebrina, and if it goes well (I'm remembering it as used to having some pink in it, so I think it's supposed to be a tricolor at its healthiest), then I'll try again with the nanouk.
My african violet recently put out a cluster of pink so that I could tell what color is, but this was before the isopropyl incident so I Idk how it's going to hold up. I picked up a small peace lily, to try again, and got a thanksgiving cactus last fall so, seeing you're keep 3 each, I have a go-to for advice. Tried fly traps twice, and it's gone to the back of the line of learning to master.
Once I get my Thanksgiving cactus to bloom, Christmas and Easter will round off my set.Do you have a hard time getting your Christmas Cactus to bloom?
