Why do you feel caused it to die? Graptopetalum in general are tough plants but, i find the bellum to be more delicate.

Is anyone out there?

If that's a baseball question, I didn't see the game.

There is an Echeveria minima, but there might be one that's even smaller than it.

I totally forgot about the Minima! what could be smaller than that??

Mealies, no root growth, heat, drought, poor soil..

Its why im not ordering live plants no more. Regular ones..even with all their quirks still have a mortality rate of about 7 %, 30% if we are talking gentle plants( lost a bunch of lithops, 3 pleispilos, and a aloinopsis cluster.. very recently). And im talking just croaking out of nowhere, even when everything is done right...

Ones i got..they were bare root. Bare root+ gentle... pretty high fatality rate.

Lost 2 orostachys(should have kept them outdoors), 1 mammillaria gift(completely rootless oh haha) , 1 echinocactus texensis(couldnt grow new roots), 1 pachycereus marginatus(fungus + scale). Of the whole bunch, only the other pachycereus marginatus is still alive...and after an ungodly amount of cleaning, pesticide and other scale treatment..

Stefan- besides the mammillaria, were all these plants from the same source? Lithops as you know are can be challenging for even the most experienced of us. Orostachys depending on type can be tempermental. I've had echinos that have rooted after a year! Fungus and scale can be dealt with. I think you're being too hard on yourself.

I had a couple things go wrong this past summer. It was my first experience with spider mites. I had a rare variety of graptopetalum i had received as a gift many years ago. I was in a panic. Why? in all the time i had it, i never got around to propagating it. Actually CactusMcHarris calmed me down and with his help i dealt with it. So i chopped off all the heads from this multi-branched little tree..12 heads it had and now it has 72! I propagated all the disfigured heads and they've rooted and will produce new and healthy plants. The point? Don't give up! We've all had bad days in the garden but, we've also had some pretty good ones too. You will again also!

No no no...the mesembs were from some dingy store in my town..

From what i understood... they were supposed to be healthy.

Other wise the bare root ones were all from giromagi..

Orostachys was spinuosus..

Also, dont trust that that guy. For someone who spends a lot of time on a cactus and succulent forum, he doesnt have any plants...

Sounds bizarre!
