Eeekkk!! It's finally happening!!! My first bloom from my Echeveria!! I've had her about 3.5 to 4 years 🥰 I'm so happy but also so scared. Does this mean she's going to die now? #happyplants bloomingsuccs">#bloomingsuccs #echeveria #greggang

I read that only two common species produce a death bloom/terminal.

The two that may produce a terminal bloom are Echeveria 'Afterglow' and Echeveria 'Blue. It's just a "may" which means it is not 100 percent. I'm not sure which one you got.

Nope, Echeverias are not monocarpic. It's Sempervivum that are! I've heard Echeverias only stop growing if their bloom comes from the exact middle of the rosette where all the new growth should be.

@PoniesAndPlants Aww, thank you! Monocarpic means that a plant can only flower once, and when it does, it leads to its death.

No it won’t die. Btw it has wrong id in your plant card. It is not agave. It is Echeveria Pulidonis

No, it’s normal for Echeveria to bloom and they won’t die.
