That's entirely up to you. It's just something that I have done before and thought I might suggest it as an idea. I'd be willing to bet if you gave it a little thought you could come up with a better idea. Thanks for even considering it.

I might make some cute little bowl of echeverias with pulidonis and pvn babies. But there's still lot more to give away. I've decided to write a little "how to care" tag with them so people might really be able to keep them alive. Can't surely keep the all with me since Kurt was 15cm in diameter before the accident. They'll grow pretty large.

I love the babies, and I really like the idea of giving the baby plants to random people!
You're absolutely right, you never know how much something so "little" can actually mean when done to the right person at the right time.
Well done!

Scientific do-it-yourself-research continues.

I'm really surprised how nicely the PVN cutting grew. It has two heads and they are about a size to live on their own. Bigger is actually as big as the head of the motherplant.

Kurts babies in the other hand, they are not just that gorgerous... Yeah they might need more light but so does the PVN and it does fine and I believe it must need much more light than pulidonis since it's red. There also this tiniest cutie crassula coming up. Before it was way too close to the PVN and didn't grow much since their roots were tangled together and PVN wanted to take it all. After I separated them, the crassula started to grow nicely.

I'm about to make an experiment with one of the Kurts babies, I'm gonna cut the head off and see if it's large enough to form own roots. All of them have a power to produce aerial roots. Why I know? I accidentally neglected them a while ago so they got no water and needed it from somewhere.

Sorry, the pictures have terrible light conditions and the colors are not there. Kurt babies are nicely green and PVN are nicely red.
