Pity that stripe isn't a bit more consistent, otherwise you would have a real winner there, Stuart.
Incidentally, I had an E. 'Raindrops' from Stuart a while back, and after a while it lost its raindrops but fortunately they came back later . Anyone else had this kind of problem with it?

Re: Echeveria Agavoides
'Raindrops' and other 'Cameo' type hybrids can temporarily revert to their juvenile leaf form when there is a check in growth, this sometimes happens when repotting and always happens when rooting offsets. It's a bit like a Sansevieria reverting to a juvenile form when a cutting is taken from a mature plant. The proper growth will always return once a plant is rooted and growing.

Re: Echeveria Agavoides
Aha, thanks for that insight Stuart. There's always something new to learn when growing plants.

Re: Echeveria Agavoides
I have been celebrating my recent birthday and have another few to add to the growing stable of Agavoides.
Surreal do some nice specimens with the added bonus of not bidding for something.
First is a small but beautifully formed Arrow. I first saw this over at Chris G's garden, and immediately liked the form of it. and a healthy soon to flower Mira with it's distinctive olive leaves
I have one of Stuart's Agavoides seedlings on the way which I'm looking forward to growing on, a pink leaf hybrid. I'm looking forward to updating this thread throughout the growing season, along with your pictures.
Birthday money well spent I think

Re: Echeveria Agavoides
Its the end of the summer holidays for my Agavoides collection.
Lost a few, learnt a lot from personal experience, just wish the learning wasn't so expensive.
I now plant my Agavoides in a almost pure pumice mix, and initially the plants struggle before setting down longer roots. My larger Agavoides such as Romeo and Ebony are happy enough I a 50/50 mix, so it follows the bigger the plant team less fyss it needs..
Next year they will still go outside but will have a roof shelter to protect them from the worst of the rain I enjoy the colouring that affects them whilst outside, but seedlings will be better protected that's for sure.
Here's a few pictures
Super Sirius A red edged hybrid
One of Stuart's seedlings, that I'm hoping will grow bigger. Great colouring Labelled Taurus, which has a much more pronounced leaf shape.
Sold as Agavoides Parrasana, I like it's agave like shape.
Another seedling , again great shape and colour

Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Rapidly growing, should be a beast next year.
A picture of my friends Romeo which was looking so much better than mine
I sadly lost the main plant, but one solitary leaf from the middle of the plant is showing roots. I do hope it comes back.
A Sirius hybrid, now at its natural colour. Not as heat lamp pink as first received
Re: Echeveria Agavoides
last ones promise But if I can't share here where else can I
Another from Stuart's stable . What can I say they are very special
Burgundy or Red Wine, whatever the name given its beautiful
Lovely tips on this one
Lastly, the pink sirius hybrid. I'm still looking for a pink sirius proper. I won't give up
Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Re: Echeveria Agavoides
Lovely, never apologise for showing pictures of your plants 0- they are beautiful & its nice you take such pride in them. We need more photo's .....
My favourites are giant purple & Frank R - where did you get the purple plz ?, one thing I would mention is give the pots a good swipe around with a cloth as I often find little snails have snuck in & snack on mine later in the winter when I'm not checking them

Re: Echeveria Agavoides
Thanks Tina
The Giant purple was from Germany, Kakteen Cactus in Berlin. Nice fella.
Frank was from Surreal I think
Don't worry about Snails, I have brushes, tweezers of all sizes. I've ensured those little buggers won't be bothering my plants. I just have to back off from molly codling them with kindness, and kill them in the process.
