Mid Spring in Sydney so if I’m going to head-chop this echeveria, now’s the time. Problem is I haven’t had much success doing this in the past. This is maybe the 4th one I’ve kept alive to a decent size (all were given to me by friends/fellow gardeners). I’m keen to have more baby plants but don’t want to lose it.
PS it only has a few tiny babies on the large stem and the smaller one to the size is a separate plant not an offshoot.

No???
Don’t you dare
Go for it! What I always do after the cut is leaving the plant without repotting it until I see new roots developing. Your plant is massive and can perfectly handle a decapitation. You can also chop, wait for the cut to dry, and plant it again. The important thing is don’t water while it has no roots, since it won’t be able to absorb water and will rot.
I see no reason to chop this absolutely stunning specimen to pieces…
Would be a shame if nothing else.
i’d say leave it as it is. it looks so happy and beautiful
beautiful echeveria imbricata
Damn, looks so beautiful. ❤
No chop. That is beautiful!
