You would have very different problems to us, we don't really suffer from dust problems in the UK much, apart from when dust from the Sahara blows in.Spiky Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336642361281619338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-62810251386716775842015-07-28T03:25:32.727+01:002015-07-28T03:25:32.727+01:00What a gorgeous collection.

You are doing a great job with them.

I water them about once a week at the moment, but this week when it has been cold and wet outside, I held off watering as the soil wa still damp in some pots.Spiky Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336642361281619338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-22591047045314715062015-07-27T20:59:59.787+01:002015-07-27T20:59:59.787+01:00So glad you did a post on your Echeveria collectio...So glad you did a post on your Echeveria collection, they are all exceptionally stunning! I'm a sucker for white Echeverias, so every single plant you posted are soooooo.. drool worthy!<br /><br />I have 2 E.Laui, and a Mexican Giant too, I was just wondering how often do you water them? My Mexican Giant seems to be shriveling more of its lower leaves after I started implementing a more stricter watering routine, and now the leaves seem to suffer. I'm always afraid of over-watering and rot, since that's how I lost my 2 new variegated plants - I watered them after seeing lower leaves drop at a very fast rate, but dying leaves are also a sign of overwatering too. <br /><br />I'm determined the plant is still good because it has some healthy aerial roots poking out under its leaves, but it's just the drying lower leaves (it's not a few, but about 4-5) that worries me.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BernardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-63053484289378415802015-07-25T20:34:41.001+01:002015-07-25T20:34:41.001+01:00Thank you.

I used to have an Echeveria 'Afterglow' at the center of our patio dining table. No more! People couldn't keep their hands off it. You've got a lovely collection!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.com
