I have put this last picture in because it has been flowering since before Christmas and has been down to -4C, in the same greenhouse as the others. Crassula commutata

Re: x Pachyveria 'Blue Mist'
Nice ones Liz; the gilva is to be jealous of. Mine is an old one on a stick.
Phil, I don't water now. Maybe mist a bit the coming week.
Here's an overviewpicture from last year, that I like. On the upper row my 'gilva'

Re: x Pachyveria 'Blue Mist'
Great picture, Harry, I recognise most of them. What is the one in the middle on the extreme right, is it 'Blue Mist' again, it is extremely dark? Also what is the one in the front, extreme left, it has some interesting markings?
I would not risk watering yet, in a greenhouse. Even with a frost free environment the days are still short, so there is not sufficient light for the plants to grow properly, I would wait to late on in February and only a light misting then.

Re: x Pachyveria 'Blue Mist'
Thanks Liz,
Yes a "Blue Mist" again; in the middle of summer in full sun.
The other one is an Echeveria 'Green Prince'
Here a (bad) picture of a flowering one.

Re: x Pachyveria 'Blue Mist'
Is the Echeveria 'Green Prince' an E affinis hybrid? I have E 'Black Prince' that has red flowers and late in the season.
Are all your small plants seedlings or cuttings?

I suppose so, but not sure.
Yes, most of the are cuttings from cuttings from cuttings etc. etc.
One of my biggest pleasures during the season to make new plants. (A bit stupid I have to admit; most of them a have to give away because the lack of room)

Re: x Pachyveria 'Blue Mist'
Hi Liz/Harry,
Great pictures both of you. My Crassula commutata got to the exact point of flowering when it must have become too cold and stopped. It is still poised to flower but I presume it will not now. Like Harry, I have a terrible tendency to pop little leaves into grit. I love to see them grow..........Hence my greenhouse is somewhat crowded and I am not good at naming them either!!

Thanks Jane,
This is how it looks in my GH during summer. A mix of seedlings and cuttings.

Re: x Pachyveria 'Blue Mist'
HiJane, If you sunny days and temperatures going up, I see no reason why the Crassula commutata should not flower properly. Today, here it is very sunny and in a greenhouse temperatures will go up, starting from-3C this morning, my C commutata is still looking good.
Harry, that's the reason I don't do much propagating these days, it takes over the room that you can fill with your mature plants.

Re: x Pachyveria 'Blue Mist'
Hi Liz M,
Your floriferous plant labelled C. commutata is not that, but one of the many forms of C. rupestris.
C. rupestris ssp. commutata is from the arid Richtersveld and southern Namibia and has narrow leaves with sparse flowered inforescences with long petals. It is also flowering now, but is much less showy than your plant!
Best wishes,
Derek Tribble,
