Hi! *Beheading question! I’m not sure if my other posts are visible here but I’m very new to keeping succulents, and VERY new to keeping them alive. Still not sure I’m doing that, but we persist. My plant IDs might be off, so please feel free to correct me! I have an important question about my echeveria chroma (again, not 100% on the ID, but it was advertised as such) and potential beheading! Before I get too crazy and have to learn how to properly behead a plant, can anyone tell me if this is beheading material, decent growth, etc? I think I expected this plant, as an echeveria, to be more compact (I have an echeveria painted lady that is very stereotypically beautiful!) but upon arrival it had a bit of height to it. Much to my surprise and delight, this thing has been GROWING. I think there was new leaf formation daily for the first few weeks. It’s gotten slower now as the two bigger “rosettes” have formed at the top, but when the plant arrived it was very plain looking and had no rosette formations. I think they’re beautiful, and they look like a good thing, but I don’t want to ruin them before they get a chance to thrive! I’ve had it for about a month and have attached photos with the newest leaves, both with the area I am concerned about circled and without, for visibility! I don’t want this little portion of the plant to die due to its position in between two other main stems, but I have NO idea what I’d be getting myself into removing part of this plant and attempting to get it to root, etc. Overall, the plant seems really healthy and happy (yay!) but I want to keep it that way, and I know with succulents, typically, less is more. I also understand that this is not propagating, so the entire process would look different than removing a single leaf, and there’s a chance the removed leaves/rosettes/baby plant(?) won’t make it or I’ll traumatize the original plant. What would you do?! If there’s any info I can add that would be helpful, please let me know! I appreciate all information in advance — the internet is vast and conflicting and I consistently get great, helpful feedback on this app. Any advice is welcome, and highly appreciated! Thank you! (Please ignore the ~etoliated leaf. We’re doing our best here and it was really long when I got it!)
