Can I propagate frosty echeveria from leaf?
Comments (12)I bought this from eBay but received it with a terrible status, please see the photo & guess she's quite sick, seller wrapped it loosely with bubble plastic which I normally receive same kind of packaging from other sellers, but it was fully covered by wet soil when I opened the parcel, normally Royal Mail does the roughly delivery job even taped around of "fragile handle with care".. but succulents I received before were in dry soil & they were easily back to form after repot. Anyone can help me to cure this plant? I really love her style when I 1st met it on eBay, please help !...See MoreFalse Indigo Seed Pods (Propagation from Seed)

She damaged them so badly that I couldn't plant them in that condition. So I pulled off the leaves that weren't too badly damaged and planted them in sand and peat combination. Almost every one of them survived. I then had a LOT of plants, but didn't know their names!!...See MoreIs my echeveria flowering or propagating?
Comments (4)Leave them and find out! To me they look like inflorescences. Propagation is not always at the bottom, which can look quite interesting. Here is one of my Echeveria, to help give you an idea of what a difference species growing new inflorescences/flowers looks like: And here is a different type of succulent of mine, a Sempervivum, which is pupping from the sides: Either way, if the plant is pupping or flowering you're doing a pretty good job. =)...See Moreaddicted2plants Southern IL USA
