Here's a bit of a better picture. You're right the outsides have turned more of a light green color.

Had to move it to the carport because the 16" of rain in the last week is starting to scare me. Especially since we are supposed to get another 8" over the next 3 days.

For reference this is a 12" pot. The devil's backbone was cut back to about 3" high and is now close to 10"

Is dark green one on the right trying to make flowers or trying to find light?

I'm not really familiar with the other two species. Do they like all the water that the tithymaloides uses? It looks like the green one is pupping, but it could be a flower and I wouldn't know the difference until it either bloomed or....didn't. Lol.

I've read that aloe Vera is a good companion plant for the zigzag plant. Similar light and water needs.

If I were you, I'd be so happy that your zigzag is growing and keeping leaves. I've seen many that just look like zig zag pencil cactus lol

Nicholas and laticadua - The other 2 plants in the community pots are Echeverias. The "zigzag" looking one is an Echeveria Ryuonii 'Topsy Turvy' and not sure about the other one. Perhaps a close up would help.

I've never grown Euphorbia before, but it might seem you need to some reshuffling or even trimming, else the echeveria would be outgrown by root space and for light. I think the best option is to grow plants of the same species in a community pot. Even that, it's hard to control the culture needs of all plants.

Best of luck, Bernard

I've never been able to grow an Echeveria, well...if that's what this is

I just haven't been watering it at all. It's putting out a new growth I see now....still not sure what to do with it since it seems to hate water.

My tithymaloides seems to LOVE water though.

Although, I can see that your Echeverias aren't reacting to water the same as mine did.

I think I need to put it in a bigger pot and put it outside, my south facing window isn't tall enough on the wall to get enough direct sunlight during the summer. It starts at about **breastfeeding** level for me, and belly button level for my husband lol.

**EDIT: No, I'm gonna leave that autocorrect error! "Breast" is a legitimate word and there is nothing "dirty" about it. But according to Android, proper terms for our bodies are "dirty" and must only be associated with a woman performing her duty to humanity as a human baby factory pumping out babies and milk with equal fervor! I hate living in such a patriarchal society.**

Laticauda - Your plant seems to be one of the Echeveria Agavodies species. It's actually looking not too bad, seeing new baby sprouts on the tip is a healthy sign. What is in your soil mix?

Your plant looks like it's still recovering itself, it's best to leave it alone until it gets stronger before repotting and moving it into extreme sun. How many hours exactly does the plant get by the window? My plants need on average at least 4-5 hours of sun to look decent. If not, more to thrive.

Nicholas C- Where are you in Cali? I'm always looking to network locally as I don't know many succulent and cactus people in my area.

Neil, I'm in SW FL. Wish I could find some others into cacti and succulents as well.

Nicholas I thought you were in San Diego :) Was hoping to find someone local to give cuttings to now and then. bummer. Are you near Gandy?

Still needs a haircut but they are all much happier I think. Though they still got wet this afternoon when the wind was blowing the rain in sideways (soil is still only damp though).

By the way I found out the one is certainly Topsy Turvy and the other is supposedly Blue Prince thought it's color seems a bit dark for that but I located the original labels and that's what it says. Other zigzag is more compact and slower growing so it will stay for now since it is manageable.

Neil, gandy is about 1.5 hours north of me.

Oh, so you just pulled the whole thing out? Wow, you're so brave! Sometimes you just gotta take that plunge I guess.

That plant looks good on it's own, and probably better for your echeverias to be planted away from it - especially if it likes more water and is a vigorous grower (I am not familiar with it).

Echies could be over-watered easily, so putting them under cover if so much rain is good idea.

Topsy turvy looks good, the Blue Prince (?) seems to have some yellowing leaves - but could be just natural aging and also difficult to judge from a photo.

BTW, what is meaning of BOMEO?

Based on my own experience

Take it for what that's worth to you lol.

Thank you, I just didn't know what it means...no other reason for asking.

Yeah I just ripped it out.. hadn't been in there very long so I was just careful to take as much of the roots as I could.

As for the yellowing its a leaf that fell off shortly after I planted it. I left it in place and its now rewarding me with a baby.
