                                                     ECHEVERIA MAHOGANY

Echeverias are my favorite succulents, along with Sempervivums. They are easy to grow and propagate . Requires light shade/partial sun. They also comes in different shades and colors. This one was given to me as a cutting. It needs to callous for 3-5 days before planting in soil.

Euphoria Milii- large yellow flowers. I love these lines of Euphorbias. They are easy to grow and propagate. Just remember to callous the cuttings before planting them or else they will rot. I got this plant a year ago, planted in a 2 " pot- look at it now. Fertilize regularly with a slow release fertilizer, like Osmocote.

I have no  name for this plant. It was given by a friend and it didn't have any label. It is not very common. I love the way it fills out the  shallow pot. Easy to grow. Please comment if you know the name of this plant.

STAPELIA GIGANTEA
Giant Carrion flower. This plant is easily propagated from cuttings, which should be left out for at least a week  to form callus tissue before they are planted. a fair amount of water is tolerated during the active growth period in the summer.  must keep plant  fairly dry during winter months.
