::CG::: I am a novice, so I can only go by the label. I guess the flowers are very different. I have never grown a Haw, but I have read that they do well indoors. (that is where I grow most of my plants now),,,must try 1 or 2 soon !!!!! ::CG and teatree:,,,,,,,,,Thanks for your comments,,,and all your help on GW.

You could try putting the sprout end of the leaf in dark, i.e under coarse sand or some other substrate. You could also use a rooting hormone, or a branching hormone. You can get both from a hydroponic supply...not recommending this, just saying it is an option. Rooting hormone is something I use a lot. it generally does produce roots in harder to root plants, and faster roots in those that are not hard to root. it also increases root growth on leaf props. But the issue with some reluctant echeveria leaf props is that many will produce roots, and then takes years to produce a plant bud. I have a few that are firmly rooted into their pots, have been for over a year, still waiting to see that little guy poke up.

This is what I found: Echeveria chinensis is related to the beautiful Echeveria purpusorum but grows a lot quicker and keeps the same fantastic form. (fromhttps://surrealsucculents.co.uk/shop/echeveria-chinensis) Further to what Kevin says: Notes: The plants that are found in cultivation are quite uniform, probably owing to vegetative propagation from a single original import. Any evident departures from the standard form, may be suspected to be due to garden hybridization, whether accidental or intentional. Numerous hybrids are now in cultivation.

Good luck with your plant. I've (just about) given up on Ecchies. I have a very fast draining mix of approx 40/60 C&S mix/pumice, use terra cotta pots, water no more than every couple of weeks. Make sure that NO water, (not one drop) gets on any part of the rosettes. My family thinks I'm crazy because I go out and look at my plants EVERY DAY sometimes a couple of times a day to see if anything is amiss, looking for insects, etc. Everything is going along fine. Then one day I go out and it's dropped half of its leaves! CRAP! FRUSTRATING! Inexplicably and despite my best efforts. The E. Chroma did that just this week, but a couple of others have done the same over the Summer. On the Chroma, once the leaves dropped I saw the stem was blackening. The last time I watered was 2 weeks ago and 2 weeks before that. One of the others there was no rot, one is still barely hanging on, but I don't have much hope. I'll see. I can't provide any better conditions for a plant that seems to be fine one day and is teetering on the edge the next. Too finicky and I don't have the time or money to replace them and baby them. So while loosing plants always sucks, it just makes more room on my succy table for plants that aren't so demanding. ...and they won't be ecchies. Tyler
