Care of Echeveria Plants

pc: COSTCO
My trio of succulents from COSTCO  became a duo, waaah!! 

Bye, Bye, beautiful Echeveria Orion.  My ignorance and overwatering probably did it in. So, I had to try again with another Echeveria plant. 

This time, I bought an  Echeveria Agavoides from Mariano's.

Here is a short article on the care and propagation of ECHEVERIA

Bottom line: 
- do not overwater; 
- watch out for MEALYBUGS

COSTCO: Succulents Plants

pc: Costco
Happy Birthday, America!! 

Ordered these beauties online.  Knew of main risk: dead/dying plants on arrival.

They survived a 4-day transit in late-Spring temps, including sitting overnight in a UPS truck on a Sunday.

However, there was a broken pot for one:  Gasteria Aristata.

Vendor can not send just a replacement pot. Customer Service said I must return all three plants,  broken pot and all, via UPS. Or return them to a COSTCO warehouse. I knew our local store did not have any more of these succulents to exchange for mine. I was also worried that they would not survive another 4 days in a UPS truck.  So I opted for a $10 refund and kept them.  So far, they're all thriving, though not in matchy-matchy containers. Another COSTCO purchase, my fiddle leaf tree, is also doing okay, Yay.
