I was very happy to be able to get this one not so long ago. Even though the flowers were basically dead already and there was no new flower stems. It didn't matter. The plant was cool, big and looked very healthy. I found ID for it too - Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta.
I got it home, took some photos, left it to adjust for a few days and then repotted it to a new, proper succulent soil. I do that with all plants and most of the time there is no issue.
Well... this one is no longer with us.
Some time after repotting two rosettes died. I though that maybe I damaged the stems, so the balcony was too much for them. But after there there was another one... and another one.
I took it back home to keep in milder conditions, but the dying didn't stop. Some of the bigger ones looked ok the longest, but even they eventually just went kaput. And it was a very speedy process - one day they looked ok and green, the next day I was picking up dead leaves from top of the soil.

The last little rosette I decided to trim and treat like any other succulent cutting. That didn't work either.
Usually I know that I did something wrong (overwatering, underwatering, cooking on the sun, you name it) or when the bugs did their job. Here, within two weeks everything was gone. I still have no idea why.
Such a shame. It was a very nice, fuzzy plant.

It's a pity....
I also lost 2 cacti and 1 echeveria in 2 weeks :-(
Did everything right.
I don't think it's always our fault.
Oh boy...
Which ones died?

Oh no... the two mammillarias were gorgeous. Especially the one with big red flowers. What a shame :(
Yes... ☹️

You’ll find some new plants to rescue soon! The stronger ones will make it.
I hope not :p There is no room for more :D
That is a bummer. It happens. What really gets me is when I have had a plant for a while, then all of a sudden it dies with no apparent reason.
Yeaa... I have one cactus that (based on what internet says) likes to do that. It grows, looks great and then, apparently will die out of the blue. Like if it had a timer and the time just run out one day.
