Echeveria 'Esther' 에스더

Echeveria 'Esther' succulent is a hybrid between Echeveria pulidonis and Echeveria derenbergii . It features petite, small rosettes that cluster prolifically. Its thin, pointed leaves are colored with a dusty blue hue thanks to its thick farina. When adequately stressed (exposed through longer light/sun exposure, extreme cold conditions, or infrequent watering), the margins of its leaves displays bright magenta color. Its flowers are yellow. Echeveria  'Esther' is also called Echeveria Moon Goddess, Echeveria  Moon Gadnis, Echeveria  Moon Gatonis. More pictures to come as soon as they get stable (as these two are newly potted about a month or so I think). More details: Esther on ICN

Aeonium 'Bronze Medal'

Aeonium 'Bronze Medal' is a branching succulent that forms small and compact, medallion-like rosettes that turn into dark bronze color when stressed. It has yellow flowers. In general, Aeonium don't like hot or dry weather, so they may turn dormant in summer (hence, they don't need water, except in very dry conditions). In extreme heat, their leaves tend to curl to prevent excessive water loss. Aeonium 'Bronze Medal' is a U.S. hybrid but one of its parents is unknown. The red-marked glutinous leaves and hemispherical habit point to Aeonium sedifolium . This is my favorite Aeonium species. However, it's extremely difficult to take care in lowlands. Still, I'm trying to experiment on the right spot and potting mix for Bronze Medal that will make them thrive in my small garden. More Details: A. Bronze Medal on ICN

Use Stem Support in Repotting Succulents with Tricky Stem

Have you ever got your uprooted succulent and find it difficult to repot due to its short or weird-shaped stem? Or maybe a lush or big succulent with stems that can no longer hold its rosettes in upright position? Well I just encountered that with my new Graptopetalum superbum ! It has more-or-less 2 inches of stem from the base up to the branching parts. It couldn't stand on its own. Good thing I have my succulent stem support, which I bought from Dorothy Mercado Vlogs ' Shopee last year (February 2021). What is a Succulent Stem Support? Succulent stem support is a metal that's shaped into specific forms (like in example below) in order to support the stem of branching succulents to help it stand upright or hold the weight of the heavier parts or rosettes. It assists with the weight of the succulent's branches or rosettes until its roots are established and properly holding onto the soil. Now my superbum can take her time to grow her roots and stand tall. Her babies ar
