Is my Echeveria dying? My Echeveria has been losing leaves recently. I thought maybe she's just preparing for the growth season but today I have pulled out a leaf that looks rotten at its end if I see this correctly... I am worried the core might be rotten too - what do you guys think? It tried to flower earlier in the year but the flower bud only grew a little bit then dried out. I can see a new flower bud in there and wonder if the same thing will happen to it. Any help is greatly appreciated đ #succulentsquad #succulentlove #succulents #echeveria

Is my lipstick echeveria beyond saving? Iâve recently moved out of my parentsâ house and initially Iâve left my plants at home while we get settled and I need to repot a few plants, which I couldnât do in the new place. So I asked my mum to look after my plants, and she has a few of her own so sheâs not a complete novice. However, life has been a bit hectic and when I came home for Christmas she admitted sheâd lost track and couldnât remember when she last watered all the plants, including mine. Most of them seem okay, but a few are looking pretty sad. One of the worst is my lipstick echeveria: the bottom leaves (is that even the right term?) were brown and mushy, and some were mouldy, so I pulled them off. The stalk has what looks like mould on it and I can see a few small silver bugs crawling on it. Since pulling off the leaves, the remaining lower ones are slowly going soft and brown as well. Is there any way to save this or is the plant destined to die? Can I take a cutting from the top and propagate a new plant? #LipstickEcheveria

đľđâ¨đď¸ Ladies, gentlemen, and succulent sympathizers⌠allow me the distinct honor of presenting a creature so resplendent, so botanically baroque, she could only be described as a retired telenovela enchantress reborn in ceramic form. I give youâDoĂąa Calaverita de la Flor đşđđŻď¸ She is no mere planter. No, no. She is a living reliquary of scandal and bloom, a verdant vestige of passion past. Her skullâpainted with the delicate flourishes of DĂa de los Muertosâwhispers tales of forbidden garden affairs and tequila-soaked monologues beneath the moonlight. đđđ¸ Nestled within her crown: a lush coiffure of succulents, thick with drama and tinged in hues of betrayal. Green with envy, purple with pride, and ever so slightly red at the tipsâlike the blush of a woman whoâs just remembered her power. đ đżđĽ She now resides upon my woven altar, presiding over the domestic domain with the gravitas of a duchess and the flair of a cabaret ghost. Her presence is a ritual, a reclamation, a reign. đ§şđ𪌠Mist her gently. Speak to her in whispers. And neverâneverâask her about the scandal in San Miguel. Sheâll deny everything⌠but her leaves will tremble with truth. đšđđ DoĂąa Calaverita de la Florâa name that deserves to be sung, sobbed, and stitched into the hem of a velvet curtain.
