My most vigorous succulent. Also my prettiest.
It was a rough ride. She arrived clearly light deprived last march.
In winter (July) she was thoroughly mauled by a bandicoot, left with lost limbs and deep gouges.
3-4 months ago she looked to be growing deformed.
But now she just keeps getting more and more beautiful. One of my few succulents to have thrived into summer.
For a sense of scale, the large terracotta pot behind her with an Echeveria "Big Red" is a 30cm/12 inch pot.

She’s beautiful!
The glow up is fabulous, you did an amazing job taking care of it.
I want mine to grow that big as well, did you fertilize in any way or is your soil mix organic heavy?
Just huge and gorgeous!
Also, not to make light, but to an American “mauled by a bandicoot” sounds absurd, like a line from a Monty Python sketch. “She was mauled by a bandicoot…..she got better!”

I thinks it the biggest echeveria that can be grown. I’ve seen really big ones in China but this one . I think takes the cake
It’s gorgeous!
