Last year, I had a very nice, compact, clumping Echeveria. It was producing at least six pups last November. Like all Echeverias, though it didn't like getting overwatered, especially in the cooler months.
I overwatered it and it began to lose some lower leaves. Then I saw that its stem was turning black: stem rot from overwatering. For anyone that has grown species in this genus, you know this is a really bad sign and that there is very little chance of recovery.
Before the rot spread and claimed the life of my beloved plant, I took off several leaves....
I let them sit and callous over. For some of them, it was too late as the rot had already spread to the leaf base, but some made it. So, I put them on top of some cacti soil in little pots....
Some time later, some began to grow roots!
Even more time passed and little plantletts began to grow....
Now they are outside in the shadows of their bigger cousins and are starting to get pink tips due to the indirect sunlight!
I am so happy I managed to save my plant in one way or another. The road ahead is still tough though, so I am giving them lots of attention.
I'll update on their status in the future.
