Echeveria Alfred

😭😭😭 Help... I’ve got mealy bugs! Any advice is greatly appreciated, this is a first for me!

Oh no😱🙈 I hate them! I use garlic brew to get rid of them, but Echeverias don't like to be watered from the top 🤔 Maybe @KelsiBriana has an advice for you? #advice

@KelsiBriana Great! Thank you Kelsi! 😊

@KelsiBriana has good advice. keep quarentined. mealies can crawl a very long way & live for a long time. neem oil helps but need to do for at least 3 weeks to get all eggs that have hatched. mealies also live in roots

@natii @KelsiBriana @moore.794 thank you all! I have separated it’s pot from the rest of my gang, removed what I could see and sprayed it with alcohol... as soon as I get more than a minute, I’m thinking I’ll repot it.

So this beauty is having babies..... but when’s a good “size/length” that I should separate them from mama?

Usually about one fourth to one third the size of the parent plant. It's optional though.

Surprise! Still don't know what type of succulent this is either lol

Well @dunnoukno I think you can call it the parent plant for now. Lol But it looks like a Echeveria 'Blue Atoll'

Help me identify this plant! 🙏 Found this beauty at a local nursery today! #succulentid #succulentidentification #plantid #plantidentification #rosette
