r/echeveria

Hey all! I have had quite a time trying to save my partner’s Echeveria that got, uh, not much love for a while. It was nearly dead when I got a couple leaves and a short stem cutting off of it (the original plant was very dried out and etiolated, had been that way for several months).

After scouring the Internet and trying to be patient, this is the only green thing I have left from the original plant. It actually came off pretty cleanly, so I think the cells at the end are still there. I don’t think it has enough strength left to root as it’s already quite flat and wrinkly but my partner loved the plant and just didn’t know how to take care of it, so I’m willing to try to the very end.

Is there anything I can do for this leaf to encourage it to form a new plant other than accept that it probably won’t propagate and will dry up long before it can root?

I bought this echeveria Romeo about a month ago and I noticed it starting to grow a flower stalk the day I got it, which I didn't expext but was very happy about. I saw it growing so tall so quickly over the past few weeks it almost hit the roof of the shelf I normally have it in, I had to rearrange all my pots so the stalk could fit right in between the grow lights without burning.

I felt I needed to share as this is the first of my succulents to grow flowers, so I was very excited when I saw one of the buds opened today! 😊

Hi All,

E. Purpusorum or Dionysos? Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

I was in a friend's garden, and I was surprised by how untouched it is. It seems like nobody comes to see it. :')

Hey there!

I've left this pot away for a few weeks and got it back today. A friend told me it fell on the side. The stems appear to be healthy and firm so I have a doubt about it being rot. It was outside in the sun. These plants were used to live inside. The only one without these darker marks is a black prince which makes me think to sunburn but I'd love to have your experienced perspective on this. Is there known pests doing this type of damage? Anything you advice to do about it?

Thank you!

It has 4 rosettes in a single plant.

The contrasting colors really do it for me😍

Together with my father I built a new table to keep my plants better organised and more importantly it works like a commercial watering table. I still have to do the better organisational part but the watering part works great so far! Next will be the other side but working in the greenhouse is quite suffering in this heat so not sure when I get to it.

Ordered a red veil. As pictured. But got the green one in the mail today -not the same.??

I am starting to add coconut chunks because I have noticed that the potting soil I had in my soil mix turns into dust when dry and most likely gets washed out after a few waterings. The plants barely soaked up water and with the current weather they dry out quite easily. Hopefully with this I can go a bit longer between waterings.

Was I supposed to separate these add o s?

Most likely afterglow hybrids~

I wish I could grow them in ×2 speed lol.

Plant people, need verification please

Left - aloe perfoliata

Right - echeveria fabiola

Also, how to I get these to flower? I've had these around 5 years. Thanks
