She’s a mother!! My dear PVN has a child! They grow up so fast ☺️ Could I just leave the baby with her or would it be best to remove it once she’s a bit bigger? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #Echeveria #perlevonnurnberg #babyplants #babysucculent

Why is it going up? When I got my #Echeveria it was wide a full then the middle started growing up tall. I cut it and planted it… thinking it would go wider, but I was wrong, haha. You can see the mother created a separate stem and it’s growing tall — again! And the cut that I planted is going tall-ER! (Yes I added a chopstick). And I put all the leaves that fell on some soil, so they grew roots and became independent ones that are growing tall. The question is… how to let it grow horizontally instead? 😬

So I missed an entire week of work and it was the week I needed to water my babies. They probably went without light most days. They don't get much natural light because I'm not near a window at work. #Echeveria

Hmmmm, do I separate these three? The big one is clearly feisty. #Echeveria

This is typically how far my plants are away from my windows...too far? too close? Just want to make sure I'm giving the right amount of light. #echeveria #haworthia #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy

My plant corner on my back porch is looking awesome! When I see how many plants I have.. I realize that I’m for sure a #PlaAddict as well as #SuccerForSucculents 😅🪴 I also wanted to share an arrangement I made this morning! (Photo 3) Another arrangement from a couple weeks ago that I didn’t get to post, my baby yoda planter contains one Graptosedum ‘Cali Sunset’ & 2 Golden Sedum. The last arrangement I did a while back in august, but I’m not sure if I ever posted it 😅 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #Succulents #SucculSquad #Succulent #succulentarrangements #GrowingSuccs #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants #PlantShelfie #PlantCorner #GregGang #WhatTheSucc #Echeveria #Sedum #Sedeveria

Black spots on the leaves???? #Echeveria I’ve had the most trouble out of this plant. There are black spots on the leaves near the stem. Some of the leaves have fallen/shriveled up. And there are weird pink roots near the bottom. There were mites on her as well but I have been spraying neem oil

Another one of my #EcheveriaLola 💖 this one got etiolated because it was my first #Echeveria ever, and at the time I didn’t understand just HOW much light they need! Lol! (Just to be clear, I do know now and I have dozens of happy succulents under very bright lights 😊) So I did a chop and prop. The original head is happily growing new roots in a tiny terracotta pot, and this one grew 4 new heads. #Succulents are so fascinating! And this one is now my favorite; it’s gorgeous from every angle! #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #ChopAndProp #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulent #WhatTheSucc #PlantAddict #babevila

I may have accidentally left this outside all winter last year but it survived and then this year thrived. Replanted for the winter in a big terrarium bowl with other succs.
