New #Succulents for #WhatTheSuccWednesday 🌿🤗
My first time ordering from Mountain Crest Gardens, they are really dry/dehydrated but nothing a good soak can’t fix! I also had a few damaged leaves but that’s okay, considering they were in the mail for a while & it’s nothing too bad.. but as far as ordering plants (succulents) online Planet Desert remains #1 for me! 🌵🫶🏻
1. Sedum Clavatum 🌿
2. Echeveria ‘Green Pearl’ (my favorite in this order so far) 💚
3. Graptoveria ‘Debbie’ (love her colors already) 💜
4. Perle Von Nurnberg (I recently lost mine to powdery mildew 😫)
5. Echeveria ‘Atlantis’ 🌱
6. Graptopetalum ‘Superbum’ (not pictured) will post in comment section. Out of all the plants in the shipment she sadly took the most damage..
I gave them a good drink, with some arber fungicide & insecticide to ensure they don’t get any fungal infections from the leaf damage they got in transit. #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SucculentSquad #Succulent #GrowingSuccs #PlantMail #Graptoveria #Echeveria #Sedum

@TidyTigerpear oh they’re gorgeous! The green Pearl is my favorite too!!! Are you a moonstone fan?
@Charli3Plant that’s good to hear! I just know they will do better once getting some water and light. I potted some up today in my new planter!
@PoniesAndPlants I sadly shy away from them@they are notorious for being easily overwatered, and sensitive to just about everything,, I had one and killed it almost immediately 😫 they are so pretty! but I just tend to have water/fungal issues, so I’ve stayed away since my first.
@TidyTigerpear I love that planter! It’s like a success appetizer lol. I know and all love all those beauties. Those 3 are typically difficult for me. I am too stubborn to take one death as failure. I will just kill the same thing repeatedly until I either figure it out or give up after several failures.
@PoniesAndPlants succulent appetizer!! 😂🫶🏻 I love it ! Perfect description! It is the perfect planter to pack a punch in a small space for sure! Also I know what you mean about taking one death & wanting to try again! But that’s not a bad thing, it actually helps you learn from mistakes & learn more about that plant and even others as far as patterns and characteristics. All succulents are tricky some wayyyy more than others..
I experienced this with ‘graptopetalum Murasaki’ the first one I had, I killed almost immediately, from *I think* overwatering.. I was so sad because I loved the colors and look, I had also just started my oasis.. so I got another. And needless to say I came to the conclusion it’s just a VERY sensitive succ. Both of them were superrrr healthy and plump with no visible fungal issues when I got them. The second one started declining and dropping leaves also. However I still have the second one. For the longest I couldn’t get it to grow more than 2-3 leaves at a time. I stopped watering almost completely because I was convinced that was the issue.. well then the issue became it was too dry! 😂😫 and dropping leaves from dehydration.. I’m happy to say it’s now on the right track after finding a water schedule that it’s happy with. It’s still tiny but it has way more leaves than it used to! Moral of the story, be persistent & patient 😂 try new things you’ll find what works eventually!

@TidyTigerpear Better to get dry succulents in the mail than overwatered ones! What a perfect selection.
@TidyTigerpear thank you so much! I have had a lot of heartache with some echeverias and the graptopetalum superbum. My echies & sempervivium have strong opinions about what they want when they want it and if I miss the window the drop all their leaves…I am for better or worse stubborn beyond stubborn and GODDAMNIT I WILL FIGURE THIS OUT!!!! I’ve learned a lot and Mother Nature please forgive me of my sins and the plants who gave their lives on my “learning curve”.
