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? 😬

Just got a new Echeveria Galaxy Blue #Echeveria Hey everyone! Just got a new Echeveria breed. However, soft bodied succulents are a bit new to me. I had the same breed before but I unfortunately lost it to a fungal infection which it had when I bought it (I thought I could save it). I’ve heard that succulents with thinner softer petals need a bit more water than the typical succulent like a jade or something. How often should I water this one? It looks healthy right now but I don’t want to be too afraid of watering it to the point that I starve it of nutrients. Some tips would be appreciated! (This plant is inside my college dorm in front of an east facing window. )

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

What type of Echie do I have? Hey everyone, I’ve had this guy for several months now, and it’s been growing beautifully. I initially identified it as a Galaxy Blue Echeveria, but after seeing it grow and sprout offshoots, I’m starting to question that. I’m thinking it may not even be an Echie at this point — maybe a grapto of some sort? I just chopped and propped this lengthy offshoot, too, and want to add it to my collection as its own plant, so I’m hoping to correctly ID them both. What do you guys think? #HappyPlants #Echeveria #PropagationStation

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

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
