Hey
I recently took the head off of an echeveria as it had stretched out quite a bit over winter. The head has grown some small roots and the stem I cut has grown a few wee plants on it! I'm just wondering when and how I take these off the stem eventually as I've never done this before. Should I just chop them off when they reach a certain size? I'll attach some photos to give a better idea of what I'm talking about. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!

Re: How to cut echeveria stem plants?
You got it - just slice them off (except tor one) when you decide they're big enough. The bigger you let them get before that, the sooner they'll be nice specimens - but they'll get very crowded soon. Use your best judgement.
