I don't have pictures, but the ones I'm having most trouble with are in the echeveria family. One looks like an Arlie Wright or hybrid of echeveria gibbilora. The other, also in the echeveria family is a rosette, with bluish/green leaves.

ptw--My Vanilla Strawberry was floppy its first year or two also. I propped it up strategically in several places. This year it was much more self-supporting--until all those big pom-pom blooms started taking over the plant. So that a couple of the lower ones wouldn't get stuck with their heads in the dirt, I did prop them up--but most of the plant, as I said, is now self-sufficient. And like you, I planted a Pinky Winky the same year--and not too far from a river birch. Perhaps that is why PW is slower in growth than VS, and lankier (rather than full)--or maybe that just is its nature, but like yours, mine is not bursting with fat blooms like VS is. PW blooms are lagging behind those of VS, and the bloom is longer--more pointed--and narrower than the VS bloom is. PW is beginning to start turning to pink, but it is a very subdued effect for now. Up close it looks quite nice, but it doesn't have the drama and carrying power from a distance that VS does. But you may be right--maybe we should have planted PW further away from our birches--but there is no spot left for me to move it too then--so I guess mine will have to stay where it is. But don't get me wrong--PW is nice--just not a show-off like VS is. Kate

:-( you know, most would say your plant is past the point of no return. But succulents never cease to amaze me and you just never know. I would immediately remove it from the pot and cut off all the rotted mushy bits. If there is any bit of healthy stem left attached to a few leaves I would set it on a newspaper or whatever you have that will allow it to dry and callous over. Then I would place it on dry soil. Don’t water until you see little roots come out of it. It’s a long shot, but definitely worth your time. Some plants are very stubborn and refuse to die. Good luck.

Tissue culture and they are almost never Blue Java but Namwah.
