SUCCULENT SPOTLIGHT : Rosa So it has come to my attention that Rosa is not an Echeveria Topsy Turvy, she is actually an echeveria Cubic Frost 😟. Apparently Echeveria Topsy Turvy can only turn different shades of green and not pink and purple and their leaves are more elongated and not compact like Rosa. However in my defense she totally started out looking like a Topsy Turvy when she was smaller, and the seller didn’t label her when she was sent to me because she was an extra gift 😤. It would be a lie to say I wasn’t slightly disappointed, but I still love Rosa and accept her no matter who or what she turns out to be 💖💖💖. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #Echeveria #WhatTheSuccWednesday #SucculentSquad

When I got it was in a plastic container so in the process of repotting most of its roots were torn off. I’m trying to bring it back to life with minimal foundation🪴🙏🏻 #Echeveria

My poor girl is bent out of shape and seems to have roots forming. Any suggestions? #Echeveria

Repotting...do y'all think I should move these two girls to 6 in pots today or should I wait a little longer? #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #echeveria #succulentlove

Echeveria dropping leaves Hi, I was thinking, is it normal for my echeveria to drop leaves from the bottom? It always did that, but lately is dropping more leaves than usual. It otherwise looks healthy overall, and I keep track on the soil humidity, so is not dry or overwatered. It shares the pot with other 2 succulents if that can help. It also is in a position where it takes plenty of indirect sunlight, even though sometimes I move it to a place where it can takes direct filtered sunlight for a couple of hours. I usually water it with distilled water. Thanksss #echeveria #succulents

Spring is Here and everyone is popping off! The colors, the new growth, the blooms! 😍🌸 This is just a snapshot of all the repotting I've been doing over my spring break. Most of my succulents have been put outside for the growing season and oh my gosh, they're already stunning! Please forgive the layer of pollen and damaged leaves, we had a hail storm roll through a few weeks ago and my poor plants got a little beat up 😞 I'm so excited for summer and for all of my plants to really start growing 💚🌱 More photos in the comments because 5 isn't enough. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantmafia #plantshelfie #plantproper #plantcorner #succulentsquad #succulentlove #succulents #succerforsucculents #succulent #whatthesuccwednesday #freshleaffriday #freshbloom #bloomingsuccs #happyplants #echeveria

What are this small dots? Hey, I found some strange little dots on my echeveria, and I'm not sure what they are and if they was there before (I don't think so). My plant looks healthy overall, it takes plenty of light and is not overwatered. Should I be worried? #echeveria #succulents
