my sempervivum i bought in Amsterdam is finally having babies!!

my 2 surviving moonstone plants. indoor and outdoor.

this was the big lipstick echeveria i bought that had absolutely no roots and a rotting chunk of stem that i had to dig out. today he's very happy and fully rooted.

finally, my original lipstick echeveria. his tips are red and he's super firm, and he's outgrown his gold spray painted leaves.

Some old photos I took and wanted to share.
