Succulents recommendations?

Hey, post a pic or just a name of a succulents that you’d like to recommend to me! πŸ˜œπŸ˜³πŸ€©πŸ€£πŸ˜† #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Succulent #newsucculents #shopping #shoppingforsucculents
Echeveria agavoides β€˜Ebony’, Pachyveria 'Jewel Tone', Echeveria 'Violet Queen', and Echeveria gibbiflora β€œMetallica” are some of the ones on my wishlist.
@PurpleSucculent oh nice. I used to have violet queen, but it has died. Tbh I did not like it. It has thin leaves πŸƒ- I don’t like succulents with thin leaves.
Echeveria 'Multicaulis' πŸ™‚ πŸ’š

(I have the regular not the 'copper rose' variety)

I love the growth pattern of the plant!

It offsets from the base and above the leaves!

It loves a ton of sun and can be propigated easily via cuttings.

The edges get red with lots of direct sunlight and it's the only Echeveria I have that grew steadily all winter outside!

I have this one inside right now cause I repotted it and it's recovering.

Oh, and in the later spring it blooms very pretty orangey pink flowers! 😊
@vvvelo I didn’t realize that the leaves were thin. Thanks for the heads up. Ebony just looks so cool! I want Metallica just because of the name. 🀣 They are one of my favorite bands. PVN is actually a hybrid of Metallica and something else that I can’t remember.
Hello! I like agavoides agavoides, they have so many variations and I like the leaf shape😁
I just fell in love with graptopetalum amethystinum and mendozae round leavesπŸƒ They look a bit like those in pachyphytum genera, I adore them
Also maybe some hybrids? I don't know if they're difficult to care for, but there are so many and they all are so pretty!
@PurpleSucculent Ebony is beautiful 🀩🀩🀩
@HopefulDill I agree with you, Usta. I have 3 different Agavoides in my collection. And I love them! 🀩🀩🀩
@roxyvivien wow 🀩 it is a good looking succulent! I like that it forms some chubby offsets.
Mother of Thousandsβ€”the plant from Little Shop of horrors. It is about as much fun as you can have with a succulent. They grow quickly. They propogate easier than any other plant basically given all the little babies they have. They can grow huge ! Pictured are mother of thousands and mother of millions.
@TexanExpat OMG the mother of thousands is my nightmare! 😬

It grows way to fast and give way too many props for me to keep up with.

I gave mine away cause it was stressing me out. πŸ˜‚
@TexanExpat thank you! I am not a fan of Kalanchoe.
Graptopetalum Rusbyi is gorgeous! I have several that I bought(were labeled as violet queen incorrectly πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ) but the color is gorgeous πŸ’š graptopetalum Bellum is also one of my favs
@Propa let me check Rucbyi, cuz I already have Bellum in my collection :) Good advice. Thank you!
@vvvelo anytime!πŸ’šπŸͺ΄
@roxyvivien ha yes they are an invader. I am weary of losing interest in a succulent particularly if it is too slow growingβ€”one fungal infection and the plant is a nub for years. I enjoy having a plant or two with its own prerogative ha.
@TexanExpat I used to have Kalanchoe back in Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦, but it is not so cool, as for me, anymore!
Cotyledon tomentosa (Bear's Paw)! They even have variegated ones. I want a Bear's Paw so bad. Maybe one day. I hope you can score one though! If you do, you have to tag me πŸ˜„
Can't wait to see what new succulents you get! 🀩
@vvvelo I’m a thick leave fan. Thin leavesβ€” I’m afraid they’ll faint or tear if i just look at them.
I’m giving my mot room to grow and getting out of her way
@KillerTofu yes! I have a tiny little Bear’s Paw, but I so want a variegated version too.
@EdmundG yeah! Thin leaves πŸƒ don’t look like succulents! πŸ€”
You need some color in your oasis, so rainbow echeveria! πŸ˜πŸ˜‰
@lexindoorjungle thats a fave. I’m a color fan
I like that they added a video showing the real appearanceβ€” the filters are fantastic, like Hindu lotus, Caught my attention πŸ˜‰. Still beautiful chameleon IRL. A hen&chick: easy peasy πŸ₯°https://youtu.be/mXVMvAuN4kE
@EdmundG same!!
Ogre ears!!! So thick and fat and cute
Here’s my weirdo. Concrete leaf living stone. It gets really cool coloring of pink, blue, purple. And it’s flowering right now.
@EdmundG as for me, thin leaf succulents don’t look like succulents πŸ˜†πŸ˜† this is just my personal opinion! πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ
I will always recommend the ruby necklace it's very delicate so a bit of a pain to repot but the purple stems and long flowing leaves are a must
@lexindoorjungle ok, let me check what it is 🀩
@MissBrittney I have 2 hehe πŸ˜‰
@Hypsie oh , I’ve seen this plant recently in the app. And in home Depot.
@SwiftRoselle And the growth spurts are crazy!!!
I have these in my shopping cart on etsy. I'll eventually get around to actually buying them 🀣🀷
California Sunset is a fun one. It’s color gets darker when it dries out, then gets the yellow color when watered. And it puts out pups.
Are you looking for a small succulent? I was going to recommend a bottle plant or Buddha belly plant if you haven’t had one. But it’s one that does take up more space since it’s gets large leaves. Very low maintenance but it does need a good amount of room.
@Hypsie oh I like it! It reminds of sedum.
@SirLiquorice I am looking for something that I would never think about.
This Pachyphytum Compactum "Little Jewel" I saw today is really cool!

https://mountaincrestgardens.com/pachyphytum-compactum-little-jewel-limited/
My burros tail is my fav πŸ’š
how about something in the kleinia group? you could get an inch worm, swizzle sticks, or candle plants! ☺️
@jaysjungle hehe I have 2
@vvvelo of course you do! πŸ˜†
@Mrgncrch yeah it is a nice plant! I have it! I try to multiply it!
or one of my other favs is a gouty houseleek (Aichryson tortuosum)
they’re so cute!
@riverzend huh πŸ€” I have never heard these names…. You are talking about so with I have never heard before…. πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»
pic didn’t add
@jaysjungle I try to multiply them. I have some success with it! I like it, really! Little jewel is one of my favorite! 🀩🀩🀩but I don’t have the one that has those jewel form in the leaves πŸƒ. πŸ₯²πŸ₯²πŸ₯²
@riverzend did you switch to another language now?! 🀣I do not understand you now πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜† aichryson huh????
@jaysjungle I would really want to the this form from you photo, but every time I order it, I get another form. πŸ₯²πŸ₯²πŸ₯²
@vvvelo lol those crazy scientific names!
those kleinia plants are all on my page if you wanna look at them. the most unusual one i’ve found is this one, it’s a canary island candle plant. i love it’s weirdness ☺️
@Mrgncrch I like it when it gets super Chubby ;) Mine just has 2 stems 😟
@TexanExpat do you have a lot of Kalanchoe?
@planthoe40 oh my! I think the Candy Cane will have to go on my wishlist. 😁
@KillerTofu hey check your local Home Depot, they usually always have them in the summer.
@vvvelo have you seen the succulents that look like actual roses? I can’t think of the name but I always see them on Etsy.
@Vjunc Good to know! Thank you!
These!!
@Vjunc are you talking about Graptoveria lovely Rose? They look lovely… I am departing if I should get one of those…..
@vvvelo hmm not the ones I was talking about BUT those are pretty 😍😍
@MissBrittney awww πŸ₯° lithopses… they are unknown species for me lol …. I can kill them 😭🀭😁
@Vjunc greenovia- is an interesting plant! I have never paid attention to it! This may be a good candidate…
@vvvelo Yayyy!! If you do get it let me know how you keep it alive πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I’m currently obsessed with jade plants for some odd reason lol
@PeaceLoveRoots you are so lucky! I was trying to keep my pine tree alive… but it did not work well. I still have one and it is not happy! What’s you secret?!
If you want something with fat leaves check out Echeveria β€˜Frank Reinelt’.
@PurpleSucculent Frank is real thing! Like it!!
@PeaceLoveRoots oooukey! 🀩 I see you have pachyphytum there … and I would like it’s name? (It is on the left)
@PurpleSucculent gibbiflors looks interesting!
@PeaceLoveRoots oh I love moonstone …. I have 2 in my collection, but I’d like to have more ;)
@vvvelo then you definitely should consider the Buddha belly succulent. I bought it on impulse when I first saw one. I hadn’t seen one before and it became one of my favorites
@riverzend you have so many unique plants! 😍🀩
@MissBrittney lithops are awesome. One of my favorites and the lowest maintenance out of all my plants
@vvvelo don’t say that! I have some in the mail
@lexindoorjungle thank you so much! πŸ’šπŸ₯°
@PeaceLoveRoots love the talavera pottery!
@vvvelo where in Ukraine were you and when did you leave ? I am learning so much everyday.
@vvvelo I think crested ghost plants make for a good crown jewel in a succulent collection
@TexanExpat I think I'm too much of a control freak to allow that much of a prerogative in a plant of mine πŸ˜…
@Hypsie that is weird. Concrete leaf is its name? I love it. Does the flower smell like honey? Another add to my mountain crest cart
How about a verigated jade or EcheverrΓ­a ?
@Indoorgreens sounds good! Variegated succulents always look pretty.
