I wish I could let all my succulents bloom. They're so pretty and important for pollinators. But bloom stalks attract mealy bugs like crazy! And they're so difficult to get rid of b/c they nestle in the tight crevices of the leaves. (They also take up a lot of growth energy from the plant).
I do have a couple echeveria set aside I let bloom. These are deemed too high risk/damaged to be with my other plants b/c for some reason no matter how attentive I was they kept getting infested 💀 they are ok now tho and just b/c I consider them throw away plants doesn't mean they get any less care 🥰
You're doing great sweeties! 💚
