It is a very prolific plant during warm weather..it can grow leaves up and down the stem or make new pups just at the base.
Photo last August 2013
Got badly damaged last winter, always happens since I leave it outside.
Photo early March 2014, eventually top part got separated on its own, neck rotted but upper part still alive, so I just stuck it back in the soil and kept the lower part with little paddles already growing as is: please excuse the noid echeveria growing alongside..I just always leave it there too for company
Broken top part stuck on the side, recovers and grows well too:
Today, 27June2014..really enjoys the sunniest side of the garden.
