This week’s, and some from last week, #PlantMail potted up. It was an epic effort Duane over two sessions with a break in beaten and will be my last for a while unless I win lotto without buying a ticket!

The newbies this week are:

- Echeveria Madiba Bumps (my 1st on died so this is my last attempt)
- Echeveria Culibra
- Echeveria Highlander (long been on the wishlist and officially my most expensive plant)
- Echeveria Gibbiflora Carunculata
- Echeveria Violacina (a seasonal bumpy)
- Echeveria White Rose
- Euphorbia Obesa (I’ve wanted one for ages)
- Echeveria Potosina
- Echeveria Pink Bluebird
- Graptoveria Paraguayense Bernalese
- Plectranthus Tormentosa (Vicks plant - smells like Vicks Vaporub)
- Echeveria Low (maybe, it was a free gift)

1/2

Big potting day today trying to get 14 plants (2 cuttings went to a friend) potted, photographed, tidy up, get frost cloth off etc.

I’m going big this week and next with ones I’ve really wanted before the money runs out and I’m out of space. It’s going to be tough to ignore the weekly sales going forward but I’m going to have to if I’m going to survive financially.

Next week will likely be my last plant mail post for a while. I’ll just have to post pics of the ones that are catching my eye instead! I’m waiting (impatiently) for my zygocactus to flower (only buds so far) so I’ll definitely be sharing when that happens!

This week’s #PlantMail newbies are:

- Echeveria Kabaldi/Prism (this is a maybe ID as the only one the seller could provide was “pink Korean hybrid”)
- Echeveria Pink Apparition
- Echeveria Chihuahuaensis x Red Velvet
- Echeveria Truffle
- Echeveria Black Crystal
- Echeveria Heather
- Aeonium Cherry Blossom (gift from a seller)
- Echeveria Lovely Bear
- Crassula Deceptor
- Echeveria Valkyrie
- Echeveria Kissing Bumps
- Echeveria Lilac Mist

Also, apologies if my alt text is not so great this week. I’m not having a good brain fog day but was really excited to share them and didn’t want to wait. It’s also really difficult to describe three very similar plants differently! If anyone wants to suggest any changes/improvements please feel free and I’ll edit it.

Despite the physical changes and now just wanting to curl up in my bed and cry, I did manage to get my #PlantMail potted up today.

This week’s newbies are:

- Echeveria Sea Dragon
- Echeveria Ballerina
- Echeveria Tolimanensis Hybrid
- Echeveria Laui x Strictiflora Nova
- Echeveria Edgy

I also repotted my Echeveria Neon Breakers that was bursting out of her pot with lots of babies. I forgot to get a pic before she went back out under the frost cloth but she looks little in her new pot despite desperately needing the size upgrade.

I went more than a little overboard online plant shopping this week so next week’s post will be a big one!

This week’s #PlantMail potted up. I also repotted my Echeveria Benimusume, which I posted earlier. That one I’d been dreading doing.

Then we went for a drive around town to charge my car battery, which keeps dying, and of course stopped for the requisite Saturday Bunnings sausage sanga.

- Graptoveria Pink Rose was love at first sight.

- Euphorbia Lactea Cristata looks much less variegated than in the sales photo so I’ve left the “Variegata” out of the name.

- Echeveria Madiba was leaf grown from one with bumps (not by me) but not really showing any true signs of bumps at this stage.

I got the #PlantMail from this week potted up earlier this week. Hoping to keep the time inside in the warmth to a minimum so there’s not so much shock at being sent out into the freezing cold, especially as a couple came from the Gold Coast. I’m also pretty sure I’m coming down with something and didn’t want to risk not being up to it later in the week. These babies are too important.

- Myrtillocactus Gometrizans Fukurokuryuzinboku (Boobie Cactus): I’ve wanted one for ages and scored it from a seller’s closing down sale at a bargain price

- Echinocereus Rigidissimus (Rainbow Cactus): another one I’ve wanted for ages but others were higher on the wish list

- Echeveria Superbowl: I got at a discount, presumably because it’s not a perfect specimen, but it’s perfect to me

- Echeveria Cante x Laui: was just too petty to pass up

- Aloe Vera: I mentioned to a friend that I’d never actually seen it for sale so she dropped me off a piece

- Tacitus Bellus: has also been on my list for a while (the flowers are so beautiful) but had never come up in a sale when there was something else I wanted

- Echeveria Moulin Rouge: I just couldn’t pass up. She’s going to eventually get bumps and if you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know bumpies are my absolute favourite plants

Last week’s plant mail finally potted up, including a purchase from the local show on Friday.

It’s taken me all weekend to recover from my outing to the show on Friday. I woke up feeling extra rubbish this morning and I think I might have picked up a bug from one of the group of young school kids that decided to sit practically on top of us (at the direction of their teachers) while watching the wood chopping.

- Echeveria Chantilly Mutation
- Echeveria Unknown Bumpy
- Echeveria Longissima Bumps
- Echeveria Raindrops
- Echeveria Blue Lagoon
- Echeveria Rococo
- Monkey’s Tail Cactus (Hildewintera Colademononsis)

This week’s #PlantMail has been potted, and handily it was just four plants this week so it was relatively quick and easy. I did, though, have to mix up another batch of soil mix because I was two trowels short on being able to fill the last pot. Super frustrating when that happens.

Echeveria Love Raindrops
Echeveria Thunder Tumour
Cotelydon Pendens (which gets the most beautiful flowers in spring)
Echeveria Pure Love

Excited to share this week’s #PlantMail. With more shelves on the way I’ve finally started buying something other than just frillies and bumpies again. I’m not so worried that I’ll run out of space for them before I get all the ones I really want (although the list is endless).

Andromischus Festivus
Echeveria Peony
Echeveria Heartthrob (will eventually get seasonal bumps)
Echeveria unknown bumpy (possibly Baccarus)
Echeveria unknown bumpy (mother plant is spectacular)
Echeveria Hybrid (will get bumps in maturity)
Echeveria Rosales (well get bumps in maturity)
Echeveria Little Fairy

#PlantMail from this week. I bought a pack of 7 frillies and bumpies that came with an extra as a gift, plus one more that was held over from the week before due to getting rained on at the last minute.

Echeveria Allouette
Echeveria Cottage Garden
Echeveria Ragamuffin
Echeveria Baccarus
Echeveria Verrugas
Echeveria Rosa Lee
Echeveria New Heights
Echeveria Mauna Loa
Echeveria Pagoda

It was a bigger than usual potting night and my body complained loudly so it’s taken a couple of days to get these posted. I have an extension going on my stands on Tuesday to make room for these (and more) plus they’re being winterised as well so hopefully I won’t lose any this winter to frost

This week’s #PlantMail potted up plus a bonus pic of my Echeveria Beyonce that I thought was a goner and didn’t think would make it so I bought another, only to find new roots on the original one and that it’s perking up again in the middle.

There’s also a special one that I bought to honour my older adoptive brother who has passed.

This week’s #PlantMail potted up. Actually done on Wednesday but life has got in the way this week.

Echeveria Ref Dragon
Echeveria Pulidonis Christmas
Echeveria Shaviana hybrid

The last two were free gifts.

I also bought a couple of bags of maifan stone for top dressing that I’ll break out when I’m feeling a little more on top of things. It’ll be nice to not have to worry about sifting it out when repotting plants like I currently have to with the crushed pebble I was using for a while.

Potted up this week’s #PlantMail today.

Echeveria Tori, which I hadn’t come across before but it’s an uncommon frilly so I had to have it

Echeveria Cloudburst, which I wanted to add to my collection of pale blue leaved plants

Graptoveria Tri Colour, which is a replacement after mine dropped all of its leaves in a hissy fit last year for no apparent reason. I’m not the only one to have that happen so this is will be my last one and if it throws a tanty too then I’m not replacing it again. I debated long and hard over whether to replace it at all. I did get a teensy leaf baby from the old one too so we’ll see how that goes. I’ve potted them up together.

Aloe Distans (jewel aloe), which was a gift from the seller and not one I’d have chosen myself but it’s been put in semi shade with it’s brother aloe that I thought was dead and is now taking off and I’m sure I’ll grow to love it. A bit of variety in my plants is never a bad thing. Gotta have something in the garden for everyone to love and everyone who visits is attracted to something different.

Two newbies this week so far via #PlantMail. More to come tomorrow or Thursday so there will be at least two nights of potting this week. A couple of my existing plants need some attention after the recent storm so they’ll be looked after at the same time.

Echeveria Hybrid and Echeveria New Heights.
