Echeveria help

Post by americanlecia »

Hi,
I am growing about 10 off cuts from my larger echeveria plants, and I'm wondering why they look different!! Can anyone tell me why some of my plants leaves are growing upwards, and some are growing downwards? I've tried re potting the ones with downward growing leaves deeper in the soil, but the bottom leaves just bend and crease upwards and then die.
Ive included pics to show what Im talking about! The plant on the left has a lovely shape, with upwards leaves and the plant on the right has the downwards leaves..
Also, if any ne has any suggestions about the color difference that would be great too!
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!

The one on the left looks slightly stressed. Or to look at it a different way, the one on the right needs more light :lol: Probably the one on the left hasn't quite got as many roots yet and is having to work harder.
