Echevaria minima (ISI 1014)

Post by Eric Williams »

I have a small problem with this plant. As you can see it is in need of some TLC. I cannot put it into a larger bowl as it needs, as I have no room. If I break it up and re pot into single pots, same problem, no room. I could break up all the outside heads and put it back into fresh compost and same size bowl. Any suggestions greatfully received. Thanks.

Nice plant Eric. I think your last suggestion makes the most sense: reduce the size of the clump and repot with fresh compost into the same bowl. I do this regularly with my Echeverias and Sempervivums, otherwise it would be impossible to accommodate them. Good luck!

I'd enter it in a show before taking it to pieces. It deserves a day on the showbench

Root a couple of offsets and sell the rest to Stuart for propagation, he obviously likes it!
