G. ...Yes, the two species are distinctly different. G. amethystinum has much fleshier leaves, like a pachyphytum. I've seen the common name "lavender pebbles" used online.<br /><br />The red tendrils are actually roots. Both species (and many other generea, like echeverias) produce them. Once the leaf has rooted, new rosettes will form. The roots always come first.<br /><br />Does this help?Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-6065102669008448362016-08-24T15:21:25.727-07:002016-08-24T15:21:25.727-07:00Hello there.

Those Mexican Ghost plant cuttings I told you about, I think they are the same as the Graptopetalum Amethystinum plant because I look at pictures of G paraguayense and my cuttings are not making the rosettes first. They are making those creepy red tendrils like the G Amethystinum picture you showed. Are there REALLY differences between the 2 species? Also, if they are indeed 2 different species, then would the Common name for G. Amethystium be "Mexican Amethyst plant? :-) Thanks in advance for your time! :3A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07768191241042037828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-38479892508854658882011-03-28T04:39:31.710-07:002011-03-28T04:39:31.710-07:00They're such delicate plants but incredibly ea...They're such delicate plants but incredibly easy to prop, almost 100% success rate.

I don't think it matters what you do: bury them and they'll grow, or leave them alone and they'll put down roots when ready and grow.<br /><br />Love the macro shots btw.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.com
