Echeveria

johnstephen29:
Hi here are some echeveria cutting taken from an old plant, I am hoping to put some outside in the garden and see how they go.

Menai:
This plant, bought at a charity sale was apparently originally sourced from Aldi!
 I have grown a number of echeveria over the years, overwintering them in a frost-free greenhouse. I find they occasionally lose their roots for unexplained reasons but usually can be re-rooted either as a rosette or from a single leaf. However a few years ago 3 of my oldest specimens failed to regenerate at all. Maybe all the material was senescent.

 Echeveria setosa from Aldi? Who'd have guessed - it's amazing what turns up in odd places.
Your plant is looking good, Erle - tho' it may need a shave soon! ;D ;)

johnw:
Menai - That is a fantastic setosa.  Would you call it a new blue form?

Menai:
Couldn't say John as I had never seen the species before. It certainly looks bluer than the specimen in Sajeva & Costanzo.
