Glad everyone so far likes their packages. My plants didn't do so great this year and I cut up several plants trying to get enough to send out to everyone. Did the best I could and if some thing is really special, I'll try to get you a piece.
Starting Huernias or Stapelids is a little tricky and luck involves a bit. Keep in shaded area and after cut area is fully dried, place on top of sandy moist (not wet) soil. Keep warm about 60 to 70's. Should start to root in about two weeks. Some people lay the cutting along it's side and it forms roots all along the side facing the soil. Myself, I like to just bury the cutting about 1/2 inch deep and spray mist once in a while. Some times it rots and some times all goes well. Good luck everyone.
If possible I always try to pull a piece off with a little root attached so to speed up the rooting.
Echevieria are hardy to zone 9 - 10. Sorry.
