More #NewGrowth — I got the first flower stalk of the season on my giant #Echeveria 🥳🌼 I posted it last week when it first started to peek out, but now it’s really showing 🤗💖 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #BloomingSuccs #babevila #PlantAddict

My Echeveria’s lower leaves are starting to wrinkle. Does it need more water than I’ve been giving it? #Echeveria

A few of my new plants I'm repotting are in ceramic pots. What will be the closest thing to ceramic that's on this app to click on for what type of pot? I don't see ceramic on it, so what other choice would be best? Thank you so much! #Echeveria

So, my #Echeveria Pelusida somehow got a mold infection last month, while none of the plants around her were affected. The room is extremely dry so who knows. Anyway, a couple treatments of baking soda mixed with dish soap and water, and she’s all good 😊 She did lose several leaves, but! She now has a little baby or flower stalk growing (because of placement, I think flower stalk, but idk—I know someone here with more experience than me will be able to tell!). It’s so cute and I guess she must be doing good now to be producing new growth, so just wanted to share 🤗🪴💖 never mind the brownish spots; that’s just cinnamon I sprinkled a few weeks ago to ward off any more sickness #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #babevila

Happy #FreshLeafFriday ! Cali my Graptosedum ‘California Sunset’ opened its first flower of many yesterday afternoon & I got a picture of it today. I’m so happy about my first self grown bloom. I got this plant from the Walmart clearance rack almost a year ago, and it had some kind of fungal disease. It managed to outgrow the disease put off many offsets & now a bloom 🤗🌸 #BloomingSuccs I just barely noticed the (I think) tiny growth of bloom stalks on one of my oldest plants, Achilles my Pulidos Echeveria! This plant is a UNIT! It has thrived with little care (drought tolerant once established) and is very low maintenance. It has tried to give me pups but due to lighting changes they didn’t thrive, but are still attached to the plant. But now I have what I think may be bloom stalks in the making ! I’m so happy 😊🪴✨🌱 I hope you guys have a great weekend! #GregGang #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #GrowingSuccs #GrowLights #PlantAddict #flowerpower #Echeveria #Graptosedum

When I bought Mira from the clearance rack the other day, her leaves all looked healthy, but her flower stem was very droopy. Now, look! Standing straight up, and blooming! 🤗🪴💚🌸 I still need to get her a proper pot. That’s on my to-do list for tomorrow! #EcheveriaPelusida #BloomingSuccs #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #babevila

I got this mystery Echeveria with a couple planters back in the fall. I’m pretty sure it’s a pulidonis? If you have any other suggestions please comment below. Anyways it’s grown quite a bit I’m thinking about repotting it soon! 🌱🪴💚✨ #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SucculentLove #GrowingSuccs #Succulents #SucculentSquad #Echeveria #Succulent #PlantInfo #PlantID

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

This was my 2nd set of succulents I got during early summer, they were at Walmart, and I just loved it! Now many months later they are all so healthy & happy & most of them are having babies!! 🥹🌱 I learned a lot from these guys & it is a sentimental piece to me. I have made many props from the ghost plant sanders as well 👏🏻 (my cat got crazy and knocked many leaves off) but the props are doing amazing! This pot has stayed outdoors so far , I’m nervous about winter because I want them to continue to thrive! But I’m confident we will get through it, I have already seen the resilience of every plant in this group. 🤩 I have high expectations for them all, & obviously proud. The Echeveria pulidonis (in first picture) was one that really struggled, but it is now probably one of my greatest comeback stories 🤭 (check tagged plant for photo) #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentSquad #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SucculentLove #GhostPlant
