I live in an area that is normally warm. We had a sudden snow last night, and my plants are covered with snow. I have many succulents in pots. Should I try to remove as much snow as possible? Should I try to move them indoors? What can I do for the plants that can't be moved?
In many cases, the snow may help to protect the plants from freezing. However, if you think the cold snap is over, you can gently brush or shake the snow off. In the future, cover with old sheets; if it's practical, a few strings of Christmas lights under the sheets can provide enough heat to protect. Taking plants into a heated house might not be good, but if there's an unheated spot protected from freezing, for instance a garage, you could take some plants there - just remember that darkness may cause as much or more damage as snow, so don't leave them in the dark.

What is happening to my Key Lime Pie Succulent? I got it a week ago and planted it last weekend. Yesterday it did not have these holes in it. I planted it in a tea cup with pebbles for drainage and soil for cacti. It is in the window with other plants, which do not have these holes in them.
Snails and slugs like to munch on succulent leaves but given that this is an indoor plant it seems unlikely - unless you brought some hitchhikers inside.
What do the holes look like? Do they look like this:

If so, it is possible your succulent has anthracnose. More information on anthracnose can be found here:

Recently, bought cotyledon staghorn from Lowes; it is in a 2.5 gallon container and appears to be really crowded. Some of the leaves are starting to turn brown. Can I transplant it to a larger container; will this affect whether or not it blooms? What kind of soil should I use? Any general information about the care of this plant would be appreciated.
Your plant need a sunny or semi-shade location.
Make sure the plant in planted in a well draining soil and adequate pot with drainage. You could go up 1 size in pot diameter.
Your plant should be kept moist but not water logged.
I want to grow succulents outside and then leave them in the winter.
It looks like Ringgold, GA is in plant hardiness zone 7a so whatever succulent you choose just be sure it is appropriate for your zone. You do have some pretty good options including, but not limited to:

We had a rock garden in front of our house with succulents planted around the rocks. It was more of a hassle than a beauty, as the previous owner of the house did this, and we're not much for gardens. So, this year we dug up the rocks to plant grass. I decided to try and put the succulents in a pot, instead of throwing them out. I figured if they did well I'd plant them in prettier pots next year, as they're a pretty nice looking plant. Well, as you can see, one has shot up in the air. I have yet to find any place online that talks about them acting like this. Is this normal? What do I do with it?
Your hens and chicks have produced a flower.
You can trim it away when it has faded.

I want to propagate this succulent with cutting the leaves. I cut the 6 leaves and dry them for 1 month without watering or planting them in soil, but after 1 month there are no roots coming from leaves. All six leaves have bruises and shrink like in that picture. I want to ask why it's like that? Is my way of doing this right for propagating the succulent? Sorry if my English is not good. I hope you understand. It will great if you help me. Thank you very much. NT: now is already over 1 month and there are still no roots.
When you remove the leaves and dry the ends, they just need to form a hard scar.
Not every leaf will successful grow.

I've owned this plant for 2 months. When I bought it, they said to water around 2 to 3 teaspoons of water per month. I didn't water it for a while and the bottom leaves started to look rotted. So I picked them off so it wouldn't spread to the rest of the plant. Now it looks like the tops are rotting. I have no idea what to do.
Depending on the size of the plant, 2 to 3 teaspoons sounds like very little water.
Though most succulents don't need frequent watering they can be watered throughly and then allowed to dry out between waterings.
Try not to water directly down the center of the plant, water the soil.
Make sure the pot has drainage and that the succulent doesn't sit in water.
