Echeveria #55
Echeveria, often called the "hen and chicks" plant, is a genus of stunning succulents native to the semi-desert regions of Central America, Mexico, and northwestern South America. Their captivating rosettes of fleshy, often colorful leaves have made them a beloved favorite among plant enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
Appearance:
Leaves: The hallmark of Echeveria is its rosette of thick, water-storing leaves. These leaves vary dramatically in shape, size, and color across the numerous species and cultivars. From soft pastels to vibrant hues of green, blue, pink, purple, red, and even near-black, there's an Echeveria to suit every taste. The texture can also differ, with some having smooth surfaces and others sporting a velvety or powdery coating.
Flowers: Echeverias produce bell-shaped flowers on tall stalks that emerge from the center of the rosette. These blooms, often in shades of pink, orange, red, and yellow, provide a delightful contrast to the foliage and attract pollinators.
Growth Habits and Care:
Sunlight: Echeverias thrive in bright, indirect light.
Soil: Well-draining soil is crucial to prevent root rot, a common problem for succulents. A cactus or succulent potting mix is ideal.
Watering: Echeverias are drought-tolerant and prefer their soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a major cause of death for these plants, so err on the side of underwatering.
Temperature: They prefer warm temperatures, ideally between 60-80°F (15-27°C). While they can withstand some heat, it's best to protect them from frost.
Additional Information:
Echeverias are versatile plants that add beauty to various settings, from rock gardens and succulent arrangements to indoor pots and hanging baskets.
They are relatively slow-growing and can live for many years with proper care.
This Plant comes in a 130mm diameter container and the plant you see is the plant you get. The plant will be shipped bare rooted.
