Positive | On Jun 22, 2013, natureguyfrog from San Diego, CA wrote: I love it when plant names are more poetic AND descriptive! 'Perle von Nurnberg' is the 'Pearl of Nurnberg'. Nurnberg is in the state of Bavaria. The word "perle" can also be a "drop" or "to appear in the form of a drop". Which describes the shaping of the leaves while perhaps the color of the leaves reminded someone of the SHEEN of a PEARL! |
Positive | On Nov 14, 2009, stephenp from Wirral, UK, Zone 9a, A lovely habit, beautiful colour, an unusual Echeveria, not sold as often as its glaucus blue 'brother'. Does best in sun, and in well drained soils. Prefers not to be bothered by frost but doesn't react harshly to light frost either. |

I am 3 floors up, so I don't know if the wind did it, or a bird or squirrel. Anyhow, I re-potted the poor guy, and even though it was torn up pretty bad and only half the plant was left and very little root, it regrew to it's normal self very quickly (less than 2 months). |

Positive | On Nov 2, 2006, palmbob from Acton, CA (Zone 8b) wrote: Very easy and reliable outdoor plant, at least here in So Cal, where it takes lots of water without rotting, and does well in high heat situations as well, though better at those times with a bit of afternoon shade. Tolerates low light situations in the garden, too. Relatively slow growing and very slow to sucker (if at all). Nice purply color which is fairly consistent throughout the seasons. Higher light and heat seem to increase the purple a bit, though. Leaves semicircular with a marked nipple in the middle. Gets about 5" in diameter at the most, usually a bit less. |
