I just watered this tiny guy and, checking for potential powdery mildew traces, I noticed this part of the stem. Actually never owned a setosa (if my identification is right) before, not sure if it is normal? There was a bunch of dried leaves too.
...still learning everyday 😅
Was reorganizing the prop boxes. I love the difference of phenotype in the PVNs. Last pic's a weirdo. All these roots and no leaves.
Edit: adding links to previous propagation posts where there are lots of very helpful comments!

As well this video that was kindly recommended
I was thinking to myself "but why does this chick keeps on etiolating?" Until I noticed this tiny stuff looking like a flower. I got this one delivered not so long ago. The mother plant is still compact... Ever seen something like that?
Echeveria "red prince"
Anyone got tips?
Not so long ago I posted in an anthurium sub about a broken leaf. Whole plant fell and a leaf that took almost 6 months to show up broke. Indeed, there was no node to propagate it...
But the plant survived... I think I can tell it survived quite well!!
Emergent queen of heart. Looks promising, doesn't it?
From left to right;
echeveria black knight, echeveria saber wolf, echeveria mina rubra.
The small cuttings in front: rubsii and "Enoch".
3 last ones: echeveria "Romeo" (supposed), Graptopetalum rubsii, echeveria Enoch
Echeveria are succulents that thrive on bright light and little water. Rosettes remind me of gothic cathedrals, naturally geometric with interesting symmetry and proportions, highly based on spirals.
Easy to hybridize, there's actually more variety than can be counted.
Fun fact: most echeveria change colors depending on the condition they are kept in, reaching maximum color in extremely brigh but cold conditions. They are not all frost hardy though, and should be kept inside under -4c°
Which one is your favourite?
But I feel like i did something. Like. I gave birth or something. They are a few days old. Added potential parents pictures.
Hey!
Actually my biggest eche here. 2 last pics are oldest, back in February, I just separated the other head from it back then. More recently, I had to let it soak overnight to get it to plump up, is that an Agavoid thing? Agavoid Romeo, is it?
Assignment was "fit as many as possible without making these struggle" as I need to free pots. Can this realistically hold for at least a full year?
So they don't penistrate eachother 🙄
Hey! Just wanted to share. Last additions to my collection before a while. ...contrast.
2 questions:
-can someone confirm "black knight" is just an affinis ?
-do their stem looks alright? (neon light's stem looks a bit sketchy but overall firm.
(truth's rather I'm crying. liking gothic architecture and not finishing highschool's a bad plan. Geometry's laughing at me.)
Since my vaginated string reverted can my other plant turn into another one? (I will not ask Google first.)
From etiolation to sun stress... With roots peaking out the pot, even after I pulled it up in it lol
Literally let my paintbrush fall that's a very near opening seed pod, isn't it?
+ Plenty flowers.
potentially cante's buds near opening.
Mina-rubra ones are getting bigger and bigger despite sustaining 3 whole flower stalk and a few flowers appearing fertilized, I really don't understand this plant that always looks on the brink of dehydration
The potentially laui hybrids, size comparison (the smallest have the longer flowers. I bet mont-blanc or smth like that),
saber wolf stalk looking... Grey. And pretty cool.
Hey. ...for some reason I've been thinking about leaving this sub.
Sometimes trying to help it's accepting you might do worse than good, feeling awkward, putting your heart into an unanswered message.
I see you guys. Those who, despite of that still try to be helpful.
And I just, before leaving this sub wanted to say thank you to those ones. And to those who stay kind in their answer.
I hope you take care of you as much as you try to take care of total strangers.
And I hope the part of you who would've need a kind stranger gets met.
Maybe see you, life can be strange. If not, I wish you good things
So... This buddy had stem rot. Between despair and hope I've decided to not fully behead it and just take off the rot. I sealed then with cinnamon.
Here's how it's going:
-No new sings of rot
-the sane part of stem keeps on producing healthy roots.
-it's stupid because I can't plant that plant.
-no degradation after watering (only soaking the lower roots and making sure the "wound" wasn't humid.
-the plant still struggle to take up water.
-i tried to propagate part of the head and, as expected it's being difficult.
-what do I do with a plant I can't plant
Interestingly enough, some flowers from the terminal bloom stalk I kept in water shows sings of being fertilized. I removed every superfluous leaves and unopened/underdeveloped flowers in order to redirect energy into those. Let's see how far this can go
