Another succulents story???!!
Yes! I am a big fan of succulents. This was another purchased I did last 4-5 weeks.
Bought this double love stand and the following succulents from one local nursery near my housing area. Did you saw what is behind? Yes, I re-pot my succulents again into nicer pot.
Keeping record of my succulents journey begins again.
Scientific Name: Crassula Perforata
English Name: String of Buttons / Green Pagoda
Crassula perforata, native to South Africa, forms long, trailing stems of alternating triangular grayish-green leaves with reddish margins. Clusters heavily to form a hanging basket. Sprays of tiny white flowers. Porous soil with adequate drainage. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods. Protect from frost to prevent scarring.
A stunning cultivar of lustrous green triangular leaves stacked up the stem like a pagoda. Will eventually form a dense clump. Small white/pink flowers in summer. Part sun/light shade.

Scientific Name: Kalanchoe Tomentosa
English Name: Panda Plant
Kalanchoe tomentosa is from Madagascar. Forms a shrubby plant with long oval shaped leaves that are densely covered in fuzzy felt. Flowers are small, furry, bell-shape. Prefers a porous soil with adequate drainage. Protect from frost. Provide bright light; hardy to 36F; to 10″+ tall. Water thoroughly when soil is dry.
Careful with that water!
Avoid getting the furry leaves of this plant wet because they'll easily rot.
Water from the bottom or water the potting mix.
If the leaves need to be cleaned, brush them gently with a soft, dry brush, such as a small paintbrush.
Care Tips
Origin: Madagascar
Height: Up to 1 ft (30 cm) indoors
Light: Bright light to full sun. Put this succulent in a bright location year-round. If you move it outdoors for the warm months, move it gradually into full sun to avoid scorching its leaves.
Water: Water thoroughly, allowing the top 1 in (2.5 cm) to dry out between waterings.
Humidity: Average room humidity
Temperature: Average room temperatures 60-75°F/16-24°C
Soil: Cactus potting mix.
Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half.
Propagation: Take leaf cuttings in spring or early summer. Succulent cuttings root easily in moist sandy mix or perlite.

Scientific Name: Echeveria
English Name: 'Doris Taylor' - Woolly Rose
The Echeveria 'Doris Taylor' is a cross between Echeveria setosa and Echeveria pulvinata. The leaves are pale green with dense white hairs. In winter, as other Echeverias, the bottom leaves shrivel, and depending on your level of humidity, fungus could develop among the hair and the dead leaves. It is then better to remove the dead leaves as needed.
Open rosettes with very fuzzy leaves that carry nice dark tips. Green in color, white hairs and dark tips. Tender soft succulent - will not tolerate frost.
Primary Color / Secondary Color: Green / White hairs
Maximum Rosette Size: 8" wide
Ideal Light Conditions: Sun to part shade
Watering Needs: Keep the soil mixture moist all year, water regularly in summer
Propagation: Offsets, leaf cuttings
Blooming Habits: Orange flowers in the spring.

Scientific Name: Euphorbia flanaganii crested
English Name: Green Coral, Medusa Head
Euphorbia flanaganii, native to South Africa, is one of the "medusoids", or plants forming a central basal "caudex" with "arms" arising from the basal area. This is the cristate form, which forms deep emerald green fan-shaped stems that resemble "green coral". Cristate forms generally occur when injury occurs to the plant at a young age (this damage can be due to insects eating the growing tip, or from many other causes, including a genetic predisposition). In reaction to the "injury", the cells at the tip of the branch where growth occurs begin to multiply at a much faster rate and the normal growing tip "goes crazy", creating fantastic whorls and fans.All Euphorbias contain a white sap that can be irritating to eyes and mucous membranes. Euphorbia flanaganii is also known as the Medusa plant. Hardy to just under 40 degrees f.
