Echeveria Gemstone - ID#: 011

Most but not all succulents that are shown having exquisite and bright coloration may have been stressed. These are natural responses to conditions they have been exposed to including bright UV exposure, strict minimal watering schedules, and cold temperatures. Therefore, stress coloration is considered seasonal since in nature they aren't exposed to the same conditions year round.

For that reason, over time your plant may lose the vibrant coloration it has at time of purchase. However, the plant shown in the product photos is an accurate representation of its current state. You can mimic stress factors to regain stress coloration. Just make sure you give your plant a few months out of the year to be under ideal, not stress, conditions for optima long term health.

I'm all about transparency and sharing things I love. So I want to keep my prices as low as possible but also explain my methodology.

Plants are priced based on a certain percentage to recoup initial costs.

I'm not increasing prices for larger plants or plants that look even better in person once I receive them. Their initial price is simply a reflection of what I had to pay. I may split up plants with multiple heads to reduce the price, especially on expensive specimens. I may lower the price on plants I no longer want. I hope to bring lower prices on exotic specimens, as my plants grow and produce pups, I grow plants from leaf propagation, and seed production.

So you may see a small plant at a price that is more expensive than a large plant. You may see the same varieties at different price. Prices, especially of newly received and posted imported plants are solely based on what they cost me when I purchased them. After that, if the plant(s) doesn't sell immediately, the price may increase as it becomes established and grows larger or it may be reduced if I don't want to keep the plant.

My ultimate goal is to bring the most exquisite and exotic succulents to our local area at the lowest price possible. The more I sell the larger volumes I can buy and reduce costs even further.
