Cacti & Succulents

Some of my succulents!

7 years ago

Just wanted to show these guys off a bit :') I also have several portulacaria afra, a few Golden Glow sedum, an echeveria 'Neon Breakers', a couple echeveria derenbergii, crassula ovata 'Hobbit',and a graptopetalum paraguayense variataga, but I wasn't able to grab pics of them before it got dark OTL

Echeveria subsessilis 'Blue' (the very first succulent I ever got :') The pic is from November, a month after I got this lil guy)

(and the pup that came with it)

Most of my sempervivum arachnoidium

Can't remember the name of this one atm ^^; Graptopetalum of some kind

sedum morganium

Echeveria 'Black Prince' (has what is possibly some variegation on the leaves? not sure what to make of that)

'Dragon's Blood' sedum

Sempervium greenii (I have several more that I didn't finish potting bc of a ladybug I didn't want to wake OTL)

Sempervivum 'jade rose' (a few of the 27 lil fellas that I got for $4 altogether ;))

Aaaand these two I have no idea on I.D.s ^^;

Sort by:Oldest

Nice E. s. 'Blue'! And so is E. 'Black prince', and I could see some variegation. That's great, hope you don't want to get rid of the leaves :)

Your sempervivums are also nice, but they seem to be drooping the leaves down, could some be little too wet perhaps? Another reason for them to do some of that could be not enough light? The last photo is also showing etiolated plants. That could be avoided by providing better light. Couple of pots could have soil level raised - plants are getting 'lost' too low in the container. Is there a drainage hole in all of your containers?

Graptopetalum may be G. pentalum s. superbum.

Thanks, Colleen! They are cute at every stage! I was given that particular Crassula from a friend. Not sure I have seen it for sale (but wasn't looking, either). I was thinking the same, Jeff...sausages! Or maybe hamburger logs! I have been taking video & even though eyes are still closed, some were using front legs (getting up on) instead of dragging around like seals. I know I can put video on Photobucket (did with 2 sec earthquake shot a while back). Just have to remember how! I like that one of Shadow too! I figured you would like the colorful blanket--tye-dye hippie pups! We swap out every day-but that one is the brightest! Time for me to take 3 dogs on their mornin' walk!

Ashley, The Crassulaceae (the Crassula Family) have Old World members, such as Kalanchoe, Crassula and Cotyledon and Tylecodon (there are others) and New World members, such as Graptopetalum, Echeveria, Pachyphytum and Dudleya (ditto). Sylvia, I still do - it's fun to watch folks' ears perk up. Xuan, You are completely correct.

Succulent seems to be dying, sagging, and possibly rotting?

Mix looks better in your las photo - better than in previous pics. If that's wat it is, it should work. How hot does it get where you are? We are having high temps (for my location); it has been between 82*F to 94*F for quite some time, and also very little rain. All my succulents are outside at all times. But they are acclimatized, and have been outside since late May. Good you are taking care not to burn your plant, but it may not need to go indoors - rather keep it in shadier spot. Natural light, even in partial shade, is usually much better than indoors. I would suggest taking a bamboo skewer or chopstick, and test soil deep in the pot. I would do it today, to see if it dried up since last watering on Sunday. Can you do hat and let us know?

Nice plants! I would pull off the variegated leaves on the E. 'Black Prince' in hopes of a really cool baby echeveria. I'm currently doing the same for some variegated E. 'Big Red' leaves. Hopefully all goes well.
