Echeveria 'Purple Pearl' aka 'Perle von Nürnberg'
Echeveria 'Purple Pearl', better known in cultivation as Echeveria 'Perle von Nürnberg', is a classic hybrid rosette succulent with broad, fleshy leaves in soft lilac, pink-grey and silvery purple tones. Its colour sits in the surface bloom and leaf tissue, so the plant looks cleanest when handled by the pot and kept away from constant brushing.
The rosette stays close to the substrate at first, then may show a short stem as older lower leaves dry and are removed. Mature plants can produce flower stalks above the rosette, usually carrying warm pink to coral-toned flowers typical of many cultivated Echeveria hybrids.
Key traits of Echeveria 'Perle von Nürnberg'
- Growth habit: Single rosette at first, with a short stem becoming visible as older leaves age.
- Leaf shape: Broad, spoon-shaped succulent leaves arranged in a layered spiral.
- Colour: Lilac-grey to pink-purple leaves with a pale powdery bloom.
- Hybrid background: Documented as a hybrid involving Echeveria gibbiflora 'Metallica' and Echeveria elegans 'Potosina'.
- Container behaviour: A shallow pot keeps the rosette above a fast-draining mineral mix.
How this purple Echeveria rosette develops
Echeveria 'Perle von Nürnberg' was raised by Alfred Gräser in Germany as a cultivated Echeveria hybrid. Its rounded, layered rosette reflects the softer leaf shape of Echeveria elegans influence, while the stronger pink-purple colouring is linked with the Echeveria gibbiflora side of its background.
In cultivation, the plant gradually replaces its lowest leaves as the central rosette expands. This ageing pattern is normal for Echeveria: remove fully dry lower leaves to keep the stem area open and reduce hiding places for pests, but leave firm leaves attached because they still store water for the plant.
Keeping Echeveria 'Purple Pearl' firm and evenly coloured
- Light: Give very bright light with several hours of gentle direct sun or a strong grow light to keep the rosette dense and evenly coloured.
- Watering: Water thoroughly, then let the substrate dry through the full pot before watering again; the leaves hold reserves and suffer quickly in cold, wet conditions.
- Substrate: Use a gritty mineral mix with pumice, lava, coarse sand or similar particles so the fine roots receive air after watering.
- Pot choice: Choose a pot with a drainage hole and keep the rosette base above the mix, as trapped moisture around the stem can start crown rot.
- Temperature: Keep indoors above 8 °C in winter; cool dry nights are tolerated better than cold wet substrate.
- Humidity: Average dry indoor air is suitable when airflow is good; closed terrariums hold too much moisture around the rosette.
- Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer with a diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser, then pause during slower winter growth.
- Handling: Touch the pot rather than the leaves, because fingerprints and rubbing can permanently mark the powdery surface.
What to check when Echeveria 'Perle von Nürnberg' declines
- Stretched rosette: Longer gaps between leaves usually point to weak light; move the plant gradually into a brighter position.
- Soft lower leaves: Yellowing, translucent leaves often mean the mix stayed wet too long; check the roots and let the pot dry fully.
- Blackened centre: A dark, soft crown signals water sitting inside the rosette; improve airflow and water the substrate directly.
- Mealybugs: White cottony clusters hide between lower leaves and around dried leaf bases; remove debris and treat early.
- Marked leaf bloom: Scuffed patches on the farina remain visible, so place the plant where it can be admired with minimal handling.
Refreshing older Echeveria 'Purple Pearl' plants
Older plants can be refreshed by removing the rosette head and rooting it again after the cut stem has callused. Offsets, when present, can be separated only after they have enough stem and root tissue to establish independently.
Safety for pets and handling
Echeveria is generally treated as pet-safe. The leaves are still living plant material, so keep loose leaves and cuttings away from pets and children that chew plants.
Botanical name background
Echeveria belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is named after Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy, a botanical illustrator associated with Flora Mexicana. The German name 'Perle von Nürnberg' means “Pearl of Nuremberg”, while “Purple Pearl” is an English name used for the same well-known hybrid.
Echeveria 'Purple Pearl' aka 'Perle von Nürnberg' is a documented classic hybrid with broad lilac-grey leaves and a layered rosette.

Finally, a practical parenting book!
Format: Kindle
Prior to reading this book, I didn’t feel confident in my approach to discipline. I would read parenting advice from different sources and sway back and forth from one extreme to the other—overly strict to too lenient. The approach of grace based disciple is balanced. The author recognizes that children will act like children and we shouldn’t expect them all to act like little robots. However, they still need discipline (not punishment!) for their misbehavior. She gave very practical lists of what consequences work best at each age and for each personality type, and went beyond that to say how to truly address the deeper issues associated with the misbehavior.
If you are wondering about her view on spanking (because most authors take a very strong stance on this) I think this book is very beneficial no matter which camp you are in. In the appendix, the author addresses spanking in a nonjudgmental way. She gives cautions if you decide to use spanking, and gives cautions if you decide not to use it.
My only criticism of this book is that one chapter talks about how we need to recognize the “home country” (personality) of each member of our household and she suggests using an assessment to determine what “country” your child is from. However, you must pay separately for the assessment and it isn’t cheap. This idea of what “country” you and your children are from is referenced again and again in the book so I feel like it should have been included in the appendix. However, this book is still worth it. Don’t let that keep you from buying it.

Mixed feelings
Format: Paperback
I had the opportunity to finish this book in one day of reading, while my 3 kids spent the day with grandparents. It is a very easy read, very accessible. Karis' style is very informal and she employs a lot of humor (and hyperbole), and that may be refreshing for some, though I found it distracting. I hope my criticisms will not be taken too harshly, and am certainly glad that others have found it inspiring or enlightening! We desperately need more grace based parenting in our homes and churches as we strive to undo the influence and damage of the punitive methods that have marred the face of Christian culture for so long! We need more books like this, that can reach every believing parent where they are, and inspire them to parent with the same grace and wisdom our Heavenly Father employs!
All that said, this was my experience reading the book: I felt the numerous anecdotes take up valuable space and time that would be better spent digging into passages of the Word and working through practical application. I was disappointed to not find a whole lot of either. If you are well-read on child development and "alternative" methods of discipline and childrearing (from those considered to be in the "anti-spanking camp"), you will find nothing new here. I didn't care for the rebranding of the classic four temperments and promoting supplemental Family Matters products... You can easily find many free tools and information reguarding personality psychology on the internet, and you will have a much deeper understanding. But personality is a shifty thing in youth anyway, and if you are not inclined to pursue that kind of study, I promise that simply resolving to spend more unstructured time with your children, to slow down and observe them at work or play, to listen with full attention, considering their perspective before answering or judging, you will learn more than what could ever be summerized in a personality type. Pegging a child in any brand of personality typing has it's own drawbacks. It can promote unfair assumptions, lead to misunderstandings, and cause confusion when trying to understand more subtle or complex behaviors and attitudes.
I appreciate her reasoning for not digging into the spanking issue in the main content of the book, setting that aside in the appendix in the back. She does a good job highlighting what gracious spanking looks like if you choose to do so. I am of a similar opinion that it is not a crucial point of doctrine and isn't always an issue of abuse or neglect either. It truly is a parent's prerogative and responisibility to consider the Word and the research and their own consience on the matter. If you do spank, follow her guidelines and you will not go wrong! I did find her characterizations of non-spankers, like myself, a bit condescending ("lazy", "fearful"), but to be fair she is addressing the extreme. If only you knew how much effort and time in research and reflection many of us sacrifice to employ better methods! It is very proactive approach and it is difficult work! I think she could have done a better job to include an objective summery of arguments in both camps for better understanding, but I really appreciate her exhorting those in both camps to avoid contention and judgement. It should never be an issue that causes us to break fellowship with a brother or sister!
There is a good chapter on what she calls the "3 P's", a helpful framework for discerning the whole truth of God's word. But as far as parenting goes, personally, I didn't find anything new or particularly helpful here. I will be gifting this to a good friend/newer mom who will likely get more out of it than I did. Maybe you will too!

Excellent, succinct, intro to Marxism...
Format: Paperback
Richard Wolff’s Understanding Marxism is an excellent and highly accessible populist work that introduces Marx’s critique of the inherent contradictions and inevitable problems that plague – and will continue to plague – capitalism. So, he sets out to show how the contemporary experience and understanding of the relationship between employer-employee emerge from because it is the modern manifestation of the historical distinction, which is hierarchical, oppressive and ultimately “exploitative, between master-slave and Lord-serf - Zizek, in his small text The Relevance of the Communist Manifesto, offers a unique response to this line of critique and reasoning.
Above I mention the accessibility of the writing – in fact, there is a crystalline clarity to it - and if you have watched Wolff’s show or listened to his interviews, it’s as if Wolff is speaking in his usual manner that avoids academic jargon and communicates his ideas directly. This is an extremely helpful and useful guide to understanding Marx, and I am hoping many young intelligent politically-minded university students will read it – e.g., those who might be unfamiliar with Marx - because it offers a sensible corrective to the ill-informed Marxist critics on the so-called “intellectual dark web” (IDW) who repeatedly, without properly understanding Marx, scapegoat him and employ him as a bogeyman to enhance the arousal of fear and alarm with their rhetoric.
Ultimately, and here I agree with Wolff, Marx might be said – bound intimately with Marx’s notion of “species being” (a term Wolff avoids) – to show why “ending exploitation [is] necessary to actualize social commitments to liberty, equality, brotherhood, and democracy” (36-37). So, instead of a utopian (end-of-history) communist or socialist model for society, Wolff, through his reading of Marx, offers what might be termed a philosophical or even commonsensical (and achievable!) model of what a more socially aware and humanly grounded workplace might look like – one that is Marxist in nature and instantiates people coming together in more “democratic, egalitarian ways.” (71).
Wolff also directs readers to primary source material for further study - so, all the quotations included are traced to Marx's original writings, which readers are encouraged to seek out.
To conclude, readers must be aware that this pamphlet – indeed, this is what Wolff calls it – does not attempt to serve as a broad or sprawling introduction to Marx and his writings. Thus, when ordering it, be aware that it is not akin to academic introductions and critiques of Marx such as Peter Singer’s Marx: a Very Short Introduction (OUP) or Allen Wood’s Karl Marx (Routledge).

Excellent Essay
Format: Paperback
Wolff is a one of the best people I know of to deliver a quick handbook to Marx. He delivers a master class on this complicated subject and I have long respected his views on economics and politics.
