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

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

#BeforeAndAfter pictures of some succulents that are growing, and thriving right now. First picture- my Ice plant today, it’s tripled its size since I got it. It likes water and sun ! 2- Ice plant when I first got it, it was much smaller ! I really like this plant it would be great in any succulent arrangement. 3- my Echeveria Lola (I thought it was seraphina but the pink colors made me think otherwise) it’s finally doing better after all the rain, and growing again! 4- same Echeveria Lola about two months ago, etoliated, less compact and not too happy! I love seeing the progress in pictures cause you can really tell the difference! #Echeveria #IcePlant #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #GrowingSuccs #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Succulent #ProgressPics #OutdoorGrowing #PlantAddict #PlantLove

Some Succulent Updates 🌿 Echeveria Aphrodite is getting close to blooming, I can’t wait to see her flowers! I wasn’t able to find any pics of them online so it will be surprise! 🙈 Echeveria Green Pearl- he had a rough start, I had to remove a good amount of leaves, to avoid fungal infection due to damage from the packaging, but he is slowly getting bigger and making a comeback! He isn’t a fan of as much direct light as the others in this planter, so I have to be mindful of where I have him through the day, or he gets really thirsty! 🌿 Echeveria ‘Seraphina’ - she is beginning to fill back out to her natural shape, I had to remove quite a few leaves because she was showing some powdery mildew spots, but since moving her outdoors I haven’t seen any, and she also stopped stretching for the sun as much. I’m happy that she is looking much better now! 💪🏻🌿 #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #GrowingSuccs #BloomingSuccs #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Echeveria #Seraphina #greenpearl #FreshLeafFriday

A lil #Succulent update on the arrangement I put together a couple weeks ago- 3 out of 7 of these were declining rapidly (before this repot) because the (previous) soil mix wasn’t retaining enough water for the Echeveria ‘Seraphina’s’,. They were struggling to stay hydrated, & the smallest one had lost a majority of its roots because the soil was super coarse & dry, which wasn’t ideal for it’s super fine hair like root system. I repotted with different soil ratios, & gave them some friends to harmonize with. 🌿✨🤗 I’m so happy to say that they both seem to be taking well & have rooted into the soil. When slightly pulling them they resist which lets me know the roots are growing & establishing well within the new soil mix. They are much more hydrated, & plump. The same goes for the starburst pachyphytum which was struggling as well, but is thriving in its new home! ✨🫶🏻🪴 #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #GrowingSuccs #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #Echeveria #Pachyphytum #Pachyveria #arrangements

It’s still new and small, and not very colorful but the color is still beautiful and so is the shape. So far she’s been very easy to care for. Don’t know yet how big it will get, if it will bloom, or what it will do when I repot it. It’s a lovely succulent!
