    Thanks Stan... looks like you're doing a great job. Get them out in that sun and the lumps and bumps will grow!!!! This is the stock plant of E. 'Etna' from which yours came and has produced several other offsets. I just sent six of them to a friend in California and by summer's end will probably have more since I just whacked some of the others.

    Update;
    BikerDoc's Echeveria is really taking off this season. E. Etna is getting as large as a cabage plant. Need more larger size pots to put them in. And where to winter them over at???
    Thanks to Howard and Dennis.

    Just beautiful, of course.
    You have the magic touch Stush.
    And that is the $64,000 question,
    "Where to over winter them?"

    Stush you have some beautiful plants!!!! I think ALL of us up here in the North are wondering the SAME thing. Lol. Good luck! Let us know what you end up doing. I'm checking on lights just to know what I'm gonna get if that's what I choose. Otherwise I'm going to make do with all the big windows here. Hope it works I guess I'll find out IF I DONT get the lights.

    Almost forgot...... I wanted to ask you at what temp do you bring your echeverias in?

  • 10 years ago

    Stan, now I recall your post.... doing very well, indeed!

    Living in Michigan can be a real challenge. We will have September nights in the low 50's and one night will drop to 38F and you scurry to gather them all up and put them somewhere. Then a week of sun and nice weather... If Echeveria are DRY, I have read some people will allow them to be out into the mid 40's with no problem. This is what I will be doing this fall. I will bring in the orchids, Euphorbia and anything else that might be temperature sensitive and move the Echeveria into the empty space in my portable greenhouse to keep them dry. This is another problem; our fall can be dry as a bone or wet, wet, wet!!!!

    Gotta LOVE michigan weather! Lol I don't know about you bikerdoc but I keep hearing we're in for a worse one than last year, quite frankly, I'm NOT AT ALL looking forward to it! Kind of scares me in fact. I live on a little over 10 acres so our country roads are the VERY last to get plowed IF at all. There's a stop sign at a cross street just before it leads to M36. EVERYONE last year ran it because if you TRIED to stop, you were getting stuck. Not to mention our driveway is a BIG hill. (Makes it VERY interesting coming down it lol) I appreciate all your advice on the echeverias. I've been hearing also that we're getting our FIRST freeze on Labor Day weekend. Hear anything about that?

    The only thing I can do is to use plastic covers over the plants every time we suspect rain. To keep dry and maybe be the last to bring in. Just busy to cover, then uncover only to cover again. but all will be in after 1st . week of October. Not good to chance it after that.
    My Huernas are not doing so well. All the small ones seems ok but the big older established ones are getting base rot and lucky to save just a few stems. I just read on line NOT to fertilize them at all. And all sandy or stone soil with out peat. Will repot using this idea.
