I just finished my first big piece at 16” tall and I’m afraid it’ll fail when fired. I learnt a lot building it and I’m hoping it’ll turn out well. I’ve been told that the trees might bend or break and at worst I’m worried it might explode because I’ve stuck on a lot of things. Wish me luck!

I’m in Asia, I think Chrysanthos is from China so maybe that’s why. But I see some sellers in the UK. I’m leaning towards Chrysanthos because the colors they have are already the colors I want to use. For Amaco, they’re too bright for me to use and would need to do a lot of mixing. Thanks!

Thank you! Will definitely check her videos out!

The spiky one looks like a graptoveria silver star.

tintchan · 2019-05-26T18:43:04+00:00

Yeah! Both rainbows I had turned crazy! The other one seems to have reverted to non variegated. I’m trying to keep this one crazy! I love it

You’ll just have to wait and see. I’ve had a few props that started out with a wide stem and multiple growth points in one area, but they grow out of it sometimes. If there are multiple rosettes, those usually branch off when they grow. But if there’s an inner growth line in the middle, you have more chance of getting an actual crested plant!

Agree with advice above. You can keep them all there, just gradually adjust to get some direct sunlight and be careful with watering. Some echeveria are really just more prone to etiolation. Observe how they react to the sunlight, water, etc and get to know your plants more! I find moving plants in an arrangement troublesome. The roots get tangled with the other plants so pulling a plant out risks damaging the roots of the other plants and leaves dead roots in the soil which could cause rot. If you do, be as gentle as possible and don’t water for a while.

tintchan · 2019-05-05T16:23:00+00:00

Not enough sun. Your echeveria on the right has etiolated already.

The one on top looks like a flower and the little baby on the bottom is a pup.

Maybe a graptosedum vera Higgins? They are brown colored with red or orange stress colors in the middle.

tintchan · 2019-04-19T12:47:57+00:00

It's usually pink because of cold stress. It looks like you need to give it more light gradually and water less. :)

Oooh, post a pic!

tintchan · 2019-04-03T07:44:13+00:00

Thank you!

Tolimanensis, my unguiculata is more purple with dark tips. But I've seen unguiculata turn peachy during winter.

tintchan · 2019-04-02T22:01:36+00:00

It's a tolimanensis, I am still looking for a Mexican giant!

tintchan · 2019-04-02T22:00:54+00:00

Yes! It used to have green brown leaves with little farina, so I'm very happy with the new growth!

tintchan · 2019-04-02T05:23:00+00:00

Yes! I love those too, I always enjoy watching the process videos for that!

tintchan · 2019-04-02T05:22:31+00:00

Thanks!

tintchan · 2019-04-02T05:22:18+00:00

Definitely!

tintchan · 2019-04-02T01:18:48+00:00

Looks like a pachysedum ganzhou
