Some plant updates 😊🌱 All the plants pictured except for the airplant, have been treated with arber fungicide & insecticide 🧪 they all have been noticeably healthier and stronger, I’ve had less leaf drop, and new growth! Some of the plants picture like the Echeveria Dusty Rose (1), and Echeveria cubic ice (3), have been dropping leaves, along with yellowing. There could be a few causes for this, but after my fungus knat issue im super paranoid and have since then treated all my plants with a mixture of both insecticide & fungicide. I’m glad they are responding well, and even my tiger jaws from last week has some mite issue that has magically disappeared! 🤩✨ I really recommend these two products for anyone having plant issues, this combo specifically. On arbers website they have a package that comes with both the insecticide&fungicide for a better deal, and they work perfect preventing both fungal issues caused by bugs, and work separately to prevent other issues. #ArberBioFungicide #ArberBioInsecticide #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #SucculentLove #PestControl #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Echeveria #Haworthia #AirPlant #Faucaria #tigerjaws

more updates 😊🌱✨ 1. Taro my mystery Echeveria, I think it’s a morning Dew Echeveria but I’m not 100% sure so if anyone has a different opinion please comment below! He is super healthy, and got repotted recently into gritty mix. 2. My baby calico hearts, I separated her from my bigger calico hearts. I’m so glad I was able to get two plants out of it. They really are one of my favorite plants, and I’m so happy they both are doing so well. 🌱💕 3. Silver teaspoons 🥄 has new growth, & has been treated recently with arber. 4. Pachyphytum moon silver, every time I look at these guys, I think about the state they were in when I bought them at the store, they were bone dry, shriveled and needed lots of love. 🌱 They have made such a comeback & have grown so much! 5. My string of pearls 🌱🫛🧵 she still is putting off new growth, & doing well. I try to rotate her as much as possible so she can grow evenly. I was able to get a lot off watering done today, lately I have beenn having to water twice as much if nott more, after repotting some of these plants in gritty mix. It’s a lot to adjust too, since I’m not used to having to water as much, but I will get adjusted to the new routine. ⏰😬 #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Echeveria #CalicoHearts #Kalanchoe #Pachyphytum #StringOfPearls #PestControl #ArberBioFungicide #ArberBioInsecticide #HappyPlants

hope you guys are having a great weekend so far! 😊 before I hit the hay 🌾 I wanted to share some of my favorite Echeverias currently. They are tiny but still display beautiful colors and rosettes 🤩 The first picture is Neptune my ‘Echeveria Elegans’ rosette shape especially in the middle, I got him and his sister Jewel, (‘Echeveria Seraphina’) for my birthday. I put them in my super cute turtle planter (posted it a month ago, if you guys remember). I used bonsai jack to repot them. Last but not least is Flo my ‘Echeveria Pulidonis’, which was one of my first Echeverias, & we have had a rocky road but she made such a 360 after I gave her some alone time over the summer. When she was struggling I decided to take her out the arrangement she was in, and repot her alone in a smaller cell with new clean soil. She since then has made quite the transformation. I posted her progress this summer but, it’s worthy for a repost soon 😏 so keep your eye out! #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #Succulents #Succulent #Echeveria #pulidonis #MexicanSnowBall #Seraphina #BonsaiJack #PlantAddict

Wanted to share this after a post from @Charli3Plant had me questioning life & if my PVN (perle Von nurnberg) was actually that.. or a purple pearl 😆 so here I have a comparison of a purple Pearl, PVN, & dusty rose 😊 #SucculentLove #Succulents #PlantInfo #PlantID #plantidentification #Echeveria #perlevonnermburg #PurplePearlEcheveria #SucculentSquad

Apparently my plants don't know what season it is. My Dusty Rose has been growing like a weed and was almost bursting out of her pot. Upsized her so she has lots of room to grow and stretch her leaves a bit. Also had to rearrange my Blue Atoll and Lolita; silly me put both of them in with winter growers-whoops. Lastly, got my Sedeveria repotted with other winter growers. Here's hoping everyone settles in nicely for the winter. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #newgrowth #succulentsquad #succulentlove #echeveria #pachyphytum #sedeveria

wanted to update you guys on a #Propagation project I have growing. I recently had to chop and prop the stem of my pink diamond Echeveria. (I had a small one first, then later bought another big one with a baby attached). after I almost lost my first small one, I decided that I would chop her stem so she could grow healthier roots. I took a few bottom leaves off to prop them. they are doing well and starting to show growth. it took them a while takeoff, but I was so pleased when I saw that they were putting off new roots.. 🤩🌱🤓 the Echeveria that is the mother plant of these props has also started growing new healthy roots, & will be ready for a repot soon enough. I have kept them under grow lights & mist them daily! This is my first time propagating an echeveria! #PropagationStation #Propagation #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #echeveria #PinkDiamond #PinkDiamond #NewGrowth #GrowLights #GrowingSuccs #PropDontShop
Echeveria 'Scorpio' thrives in dry soil and should be watered sparingly. Use our water calculator to personalize watering recommendations to your environment or download Greg for more advanced recommendations for all of your plants.
☀️ Sunlight Needs
Echeveria 'Scorpio' requires abundant, bright and direct light. Place it less than one foot from a window to ensure it receives enough light to survive 💪. Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement in your home 🏡.
🐶 🐈 👶 Toxicity
Greg does not have confirmed data on this plant’s toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, it’s always best to consult a medical professional.
If you or someone else ingested this plant, call Poison Control at US (800) 222-1222. If a pet consumed this plant, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA at US (888) 426-4435.
💨 Humidity
Echeveria 'Scorpio' enjoys lots of humidity. Provide humidity for your plant by watering regularly and thoroughly, since plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves. They may also benefit from being placed next to a humidifier.
🪴 Soil
Echeveria 'Scorpio' is very sensitive to wet soil, so choose a potting soil that drains very well and doesn’t retain too much moisture. A good soil will have lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition. A few handfuls of perlite added to regular store-bought cactus soil will do the trick!
💩 Fertilizer
Echeveria 'Scorpio' grows very slowly and doesn’t require added fertilizer. Replacing your plant’s potting soil once a year should provide them with more than enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
❄️ Dormancy
It’s common for Echeveria 'Scorpio' to go dormant in the wintertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.
🌎 Native Region
Echeveria 'Scorpio' is native to Central and northern South America.
🌸 Flowers
Echeveria 'Scorpio' produces flowers in the wild, but does not flower when kept as houseplants.
🧐 Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
