# Having never had a Topsy Turvy Echeveria before I’m not sure if this…

_Posted by Heather on 2024-08-22_

Having never had a Topsy Turvy Echeveria before I’m not sure if this is normal. I’m used to seeing other types of Echeveria create chicks (or daughters) at the base of a plant but not out the top. What do I do with it? Where it has sprouted it won’t come in contact with soil and be able to create roots.

That is so adorable 🥰 I have heard of this with haworthia but not echeveria. Maybe the roots will pop out when the stem dries up? I love the Topsy Turvy 🤩

you could pop it off if you want, but i’d just let her do her cute thing! 💚☀️

Looks like it’s getting ready to bloom.
