            Mine is producing offsets at last. No blooms this year though.
            One thing that I'm learning about Echeveria is that the bigger the pot the better. Most of my succulents seem happy enough in a pot that may be on the small side but I overpotted E.secunda and each rosette is getting big. So I overpotted E.elegans and the same thing is happening. E.cante has now gone into an oversized pot so we'll see what happens.

              Mine has not flowered either this year.
              But its been putting out offsets like crazy.

              One small plant survived the winter in the cold frame.

              Unheated greenhouse here along with E.elegans and E.secunda. E.pullidonis was outdoors on some racking (so it was covered from rainfall) and E.agavoides was outdoors by the wall of the house.
