I have hundreds, maybe a thousand plants, and I can tell you at any time exactly what I have and where they are located in my garden. Obsession at best! Of my collection, there are a few that stand out because they are visually stunning and equally care free. This list changes from time to time, but for now these are my Best of the Best...

| Echeveria 'Pappy's Rose' crest |

| Aloe dorotheae |
 |
| Echeveria agavoides 'Lipstick' |
 |
| Agave attenuata |
 |
| Conophytum obcordellum |
 |
Aloe vaombe

| Cheiridopsis candidissima |

| 30 year old Platycerium superbum. The mounting board is 4' wide. |
Oh, some pretty good choices I have to agree. I do not many/any crests, but I have always wondered if they are more sensitive to rot/overwatering!
ReplyDeleteThanks LT! There is an area in my garden where several plants have produced crests, even non-succulents. This echeveria was planted in that zone. I can't help but suspect an environmental factor has something to do with it. There is a buildup of diatomaceous earth from an old pool filtration system. Hmmm? Makes one think? I am also curious if the cultural needs of crested plants are different. I haven't treated mine any differently and they seem to be doing well. So far.
