More manageable than ear, tho imo.

It's the first time I see this type of inflorescence and it kept me genuinely confused for a while.

​

The flowers are attached by pair, the right one seem to open first, then the next pair's right flower, before the left.

​

The overall structure seem very 'spiral' based with good symmetry, the stalk is thick and heavy.

​

The plant itself is mat, no farina on the leaves.

​

Flowers are neon pink, inside is yellow. Tip of the ovaries is darker.

​

Despite shipping stress and dehydration, the flowers produced lots of pollen.

​

If anyone knows, do this type of inflorescence have a name? Are there other species flowering this way?

I got to the grocery store because of them selling succulents for 2.99. Gladly they had at least one echeveria... before I got there muehehe. Definitely a big guy, most likely an agavoid but the tag was saying "haworthia". This guy's acclimating before I move it to a sunnier location but, does anyone have an idea who I got there? Non pruniose at first sight, shiny pale green with red talon.

Can you hear them moaning? Is it safe to let them like that for a few years?

The safe word is "in the name of the Neem, the lord vaginated and the flame thrower, amen", is that too long?

How do I prevent this? The Neem says it's unholy.

(Yes you can swipe. It's safe. Just once tho)

Hey;

I was exploring crassulacea.ch's list of species and I stumbled on a potential match with one of my unidentified eche, can anyone confirm or invalidate?

Thanks

Hi!

I have a young variegated monstera that's dealing with slight root rot. I sprayed the roots with diluted hydrogen peroxide, but unsure what to do next; planning to report in terracotta pot and added grit (perlite, lava rock, active charcoal). Should I report it yet and if yes, will the soil in the video be airy enough to prevent relapse?

I did put a random sphere in water to test my acupuncture skills and it started growing chicken nuggets. How long until I can harvest and eat? Does it means I pass my alchemist test???? Will the water be good soup????!?!?!?!?!

I swear it's not skin...

Or is it.

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

and the propagation section of the succulent wiki!

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.
