This is a first in a series of posts to see if you can name a cactus, tropical or succulent plant. It’s a fun thing to do as a cactus or succulent collector. When checking a name of a succulent it is easy to get confused because many succulent plants look similar to each other but due to a slight variation of leaf shape or color they have a different name within a species. The image to the right is a succulent in Adeniumrose company collection. It’s not very rare, yet  it’s one you will not see in your regular garden stores very often if at all.

This succulent plant is in a 3″ pot and the leaves get brighter the more sun it receives. The succulent leaves are thick and it can be propagated with the leaves or cutting off the babies offshoots when the plant gets bigger. It’s a fairly fast growing succulent plant that does well in bonsai or miniature cactus gardens.

Here is a second image of the succulent. The leaf color is orange to green. We have three of these in stock at AdeniumRose Company but not listed because we are propagating them at this time.

If you think you know what this one is called please post it here!

Echeveria plant spotlight Gibbiflora succulents

Plant spot: echeveria gibbiflora plants are fantastic succulent with frilly leaves and variations in color.

Spring is here in south Florida and the echeveria gibbiflora succulent plants are in great condition. Many people ask when is the best succulent a obtain particular succulent plant. Echeveria are cold tolerant – some types down to 20 degrees. However, now is the time to obtain the large echeveria plants from AdeniumRose Company when they are in great form and easy to ship. Echeverias prefer the cool to cold weather for shipping. AdeniumRose Company has been growing these the past few months to make sure they are prime for late winter early spring shipping.  When shipped during the summer months the echeveria plants do not do as well as when it’s cool.

This post spot light is on the echeveria Gibbiflora plant which are the most interesting and less common echeverias.  These make great center pieces and focal points in the ground and for container gardens due to their larger size.  Gibbifloras plants do not show their true colors and leaf shape until they are a good size such as the ones offered in 6″ pots. The succulent plant to the left is a gibbiflora in stock.

There are several different gibbifloras now available which Epic Grower company expects to sell out quickly. When we receive them it takes 6 months before they are ready to offer to clients. We only get then in the fall when the weather gets cooler. We do not plan to ship the 6″ size during the summer anymore due to plant stress. The supplies are very limited!

P.S. Are you on the AdeniumRose list. We just sent out two coupons to clients who said yest to the newsletter.  Check our Facebook page www.facebook.com/epicgrower
