Echeveria 'Black Prince' Bloomed


My Black Prince had finally bloomed. The flowers are red and they are just beautiful.

Due to the frost and cold days we are now having in New England my Echeverias and other succulents are now currently indoors. And once I got my Black Prince indoors that is when it started to bloom.

I heard that now that my Black Prince is indoors it’s not going to get as much sunlight as before...and it might turn the color green. I'm excited to see how that would turn out. I will keep you guys all updated.

My Succulent Collections


I don't think I've shared with anyone with you my succulent’s collection yet. I'm not a good blogger because again I don't have the names for any other these. It's hard to keep everything in place when I have two little ones running around all day. Once I find these names for these beautiful plants I will post an update.

Some of these photos might have been posted in my older post already but it's still pretty to look at. So enjoy!





Echeveria - Species unknown


Sedum Anglicum Stonecrop Perennial Carpet




Sedum Spectabile "Autumn Joy" - Took a cutting from my sister inlaw's house and planted it in a pot.  Seems like it's rooted and is doing pretty good.

All my succulents are currently in containers.  Some of them are in regular plastic pots.  Some in the Hypertufa pots I've created with my sister.  I've started this collection this year around spring and I've noticed they have grown and spread out.  I just love them.  They are so beautiful!
 
Anyone recongize any of the succulents I have?  If you know any please let me know.  :)

My First Ever Echeveria

This is my first succulent, first Echeveria ever.

Most of you already know that succulents are drought-resistant plants. And because of this they are the prefect plants for me. I'm the type of person who forgets to water my plants every now and then.

I believe I purchased this Echeveria at a Home Depot. I had this for over a year. I keep it in a small pot. At first I left it indoor with a bright facing window but this year I decided to take it out to give it a little bit more light.

I fell in love with the color and shape of the plant. It's a silverish blue with pink edges. It's just beautiful.




Even though I had left this plant outside I noticed that it's been growing taller and leaves blow are getting soft and some drying up.  I'm not sure of the reason.  Is it because of the rain we've been having lately?  I started pulling out the dead leaves and for the first time I noticed little offsets.  I'm soo excited. 


These below have been taken today. You can see the offsets are a little bigger now. It's the little green leafs on the soil next to the trunk of the plant. There are a total of two offsets.
 


My Echeveria hasn't flowered yet but I'm happy that at least it's giving me some offsets this year.
I haven't done much research yet but when can people separate of offsets form the mother? Or should I just keep the offset in tacked and just repot the plant in a bigger pot? Let me know!
