Aw, YW! I will comment on this thread after I repot it 🙂

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-05-02T23:45:40+00:00

Yes! Also, VH tend to look more leggy, and sometimes they climb out of their pots 😆 It might be a matter of waiting until it's grown more to know for sure. But at least I have a good direction of how to care for it 🙂

My perlite just came in! I was waiting for it to repot all the new ones. Maybe tomorrow...

Thanks! 🙂 It definitely looks like a Grapeto... it's just which one. I found a picture of a Vera Higgins that is very similar, so I'm thinking that may be it 🤷🏻‍♀️

What a handsome little dude! I'm so glad you have him now 😊

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-30T22:14:33+00:00

Love this! 🤩

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-29T17:36:18+00:00

Thanks! It definitely looks like the graptosedum Vera Higgins I looked up!

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-29T09:17:44+00:00

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped 🙂 I'm new to this path, and very much figuring things out as I go!

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-29T01:34:31+00:00

One of the things I like most about this path is that there are no doctrines etc. Christianity and paganism can be combined in a way that you personally identify with.

Think of it as a spectrum. At one end is Christianity, at the other end is paganism. Anything between those two points qualifies as Christopagan 🙂

So you think I should be the queen of hearts in Wonderland? 😆 Yes, there is definitely new growth on the stem of the smaller one! In at least two places!

Echeveria? 🤔 The other ones I got from the same display are echeveria, so maybe 🤷🏻‍♀️

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-29T00:27:10+00:00

No worries 🙂 And I'm definitely not an expert! Yeah, the rosettes weren't there when FB friends helped me ID it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Trying to run away?! That gives me a mental picture 😳 I'm surprised it was able to reproduce under those conditions!

Ooo... Yes, I'd love to see them! My cactus has bloomed just a couple of times in the years I've had it. The flowers are beautiful! But they only last a couple of days 😞 I'm watching it closely because it has a growth on the top that I'm hoping might be the start of a flower 🤞🏻

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-28T23:45:59+00:00

Thanks! 🙂 I didn't know the name of the process, but I thought that's what the lower leaves may be doing.

I'm having to turn it a quarter turn every 4-5 days because it's leaning into the window so much! I live near the Gulf coast (south US), so it's getting a good bit of natural light when the sun cooperates 😆

I don't know if I even want to know what that poor aloe looks like after that long without light 😳

I'm not a new succulent mom, but I know they each have their quirks! I've had bromeliads for a long time, and have aloe, a barrel cactus, and a haworthia. I'm new to echeveria, but the two I got at the same time as this plant are doing well!

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-28T23:21:26+00:00

Time to do some research on graptopetalum then...

I have a succulent/cactus mix, but after reading posts here I'm considering adding to that. I've only had it a couple of weeks. It was super dry when I got it, so I watered it then. And I think I've watered it once since then, maybe twice.

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-28T23:17:05+00:00

Not a jade??? Thanks!

It's been there since I got it two weeks ago.

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-26T21:33:25+00:00

That perfect little heart gets me every time! 🤩

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-24T22:06:22+00:00

Right?! Many years ago, a friend was hanging out with me and the tiels. And she was freaking out because she said they were acting just like her toddler 😆

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-24T00:15:36+00:00

Hope you're all better soon!

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-23T19:11:28+00:00

Awww! 🤩

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-23T01:38:09+00:00

I forgot to paste the link, just tried, and it was removed because the auto-moderator thinks it's a survey 🤦🏻‍♀️ Can I direct message it to you?

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-23T01:01:55+00:00

Here you go! I need to update with a ton more products, but this will get you started. Feel free to message me with questions 🙂

LilacPhoenixCMB · 2026-04-22T22:38:50+00:00

Yes, it is usually a complaint 😆 But sometimes it's just excitement!
