@Baja_Costero , Have you tried propagating those ruffled echeverias from flowerstalk cutting? You cut off the flowerstalk, cut off all the flowers, plant it like a regular cutting, and it will eventually grow pups. I find that it saves time and effort, rather than cutting off the leaves.

As for repotting, has anyone had their teracotta clay pots grow moldy? It seems to happen during our wet winters. That's the reason I stopped using teracotta.
