I also gotta say these 3" pots are almost too small to be 3 inch unless that's just me but this poor thing was pretty snug in there such a beautiful bloomđ¤đ¸ #plantsmakepeoplehappy #succulentlove #newgrowth #happyplants

What type of Echie do I have? Hey everyone, Iâve had this guy for several months now, and itâs been growing beautifully. I initially identified it as a Galaxy Blue Echeveria, but after seeing it grow and sprout offshoots, Iâm starting to question that. Iâm thinking it may not even be an Echie at this point â 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 Iâm hoping to correctly ID them both. What do you guys think? #HappyPlants #Echeveria #PropagationStation

Black spots on the leaves???? #Echeveria Iâve 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

Should I put small pebbles on top of succulent soil? It might prevent the leaves from rotting because they won't be touching the soil. My soil already has a lot of perlite mixed into it, though. #succulentsquad #succulentlove #echeveria #sedum #kalanchoe
