About me

About me
🌿 I've been gardening ever since a child, when I spent time with my father in his vegetable garden. But my fascination with Echeverias started in the 1980's, when my father gave me a pot with five Echeverias, which turned out to be E. imbricata. At first I wasn't much interested in them and planted them in some obscure corner of the garden and completely forgot about them. How great was my surprise when, a couple of months later, I noticed that they had spread and made a beautiful display - I was hooked!

Reasons Succulents Are The Best Plants Ever


They are low maintenance
they come in all kinds of colours
They're fat and happy


They like hanging out 
They can live in teacups or anywhere else
they regularly have babies
You can use their cuttings to make more succulents


The succulent grows in symmetry,
Budding as a flower,
Reaching for moisture,
And sunlight every hour,

She waits in peace for loving,
Someone to grow beside,
Hopeful in the waiting,
With no shade to hide behind,

But then, a plant is placed by her,
A quiet friend to greet,
So, now they'll grow in harmony,
Until their purpose is complete.
