This is nice! What's the name of the species?
13
Echeveria Black Prince! my very first succ from 2017. I've chopped off probably 6 of these arms since then and they just keep coming back for more. he's the OG.

Looks like Echeveria ‘Serrana’ to me!
19
whoa, interesting! are the two closely related? I've seen pictures of black princes just like mine online so I just assumed. either way it's just a reliable friend to me 😁

I think they’re both hybrids of E. affinis (aka Echeveria ‘Black Knight’)

I agree, those don't look like black knight inflorescence.

I have to agree. Black Prince have wider leaves.

It’s definitely a Serrana! I have the same one! Gorgeous purple pink color!

My first echeveria was purpureum gliva, but my cats ate all of it :( I'm not the biggest fan of the species, but if I found this one in a shop I'm pretty sure I'd buy it.

darn that's too bad. pouring one out. that's a good first plant to have though!

I'd say that it would have been. I bought it in June and it disappeared in August lol

cats can eat succs?
2
Let's just say I've been away for a few days, and they took an haworthia out of the pot and the echeveria just disappeared into the hyperuranium. The cats were fine btw.

Looks like a black knight to me! Also why not let them bloom?
2
I've let a few bloom over the years but they just get too long and crazy for my little shelf. budging over some of the smaller plants that need the light more than he does. right now there's a crazy hen and chick type cluster on one arm that I'm going to cut and repot!

Ooo I see 🤗

Can you propagate from these arms?
2
I've tried only once before but it ended up just getting taller and taller, like it was still on the main one. if you look above at my other comment I'm going to try to plant a rooted cluster from an arm so we'll see how it goes!
1
If this is an Echeveria Serrana like the one I have, the arms are actually bloom stocks and they just elongate out like crazy, bloom, then die off. You can however pick off the leaves from the arms and prop those. My serrana has been an absolutely prolific propper

same, I have about 4 tiny ones in pots doing splendidly. an unending gift of life from this species.

Tell me about the salt lamp
4
got it a few years ago and just brought it out recently due to the dark times coming. not sure what the brand is but I can check when I get home. basically it's supposed to emit charged ions that help with neutralizing the dry air and project the good kind of light for me and my fellow SADers.

Basically... it’s a light. 😂 totally get it if the glow makes you feel better during the winter but that charged ion stuff is all hokey pseudo science

more or less! I have it off more often these days but I guess it's just a nice ambient texture to have
