Looks like its a very interesting plant! Sorry I cant help you. On the flowering part. I haven't seen one of these plants before. Smiles
いいね 1件I had an echeveria do the same. Researched turned up nothing. Posted here with no real answer. It died after blooming unfortunately. I now have a garnet lotus doing similar but it is putting many side shoots. Hoping it continues because the flowers were amazing and kept blooming for months.
3件のいいねResearch for the garnet lotus turned up little help. One article mentioned it would put out side shoots and drop bottom leaves. Well it is doing just that currently but no mention of what happens with upper part of the plant. Or what to do with it. So it’s wait and see.
3件のいいねThe ol death shoot! Most varieties are not monocarpic but some like the Black Prince are. My echeveria also did this and the main rosette basically died but I chopped and am her bringing back to life.
いいね 1件Also that is a VERY COOL succ, Phil!
2件のいいねThat was my assumption but all research said that they put out a bunch of pups before a death bloom. Mine had none. And always thought that a death bloom came from center, but Alfie’s doesn’t. So many questions but we are learning.
3件のいいねDo you think removing the stems will make any difference to the life of this plant?
いいね 1件And the marks on the lower leaves is probably edema from overwatering.
2件のいいねThanks, that makes sense. I neglected to move it away from a hanging pot above it that was exposed to a lot of rain we’ve had recently.
2件のいいねThat’s what I’m hoping. I’ve neglected this poor thing so I will remove stems and give it some new pot love.
