🌱 Morphology
Dwarf horticultural hybrid of undocumented origin that forms a compact, low, and highly symmetrical rosette. Its leaves are extraordinarily fleshy, wide, short, and upright, spoon-shaped with a pointed tip. The surface has a fine pubescence and the margins are lined with white cilia, which can also extend along the outer keel of the leaves. The color ranges from olive green or greenish-gray and, with abundant light and temperature contrast, develops into tones of pink, salmon, brick red, purple, chocolate, and brown, frequently forming irregular or marbled patterns.

🌍 Distribution, habitat, and family
It is a horticultural hybrid, not naturally occurring in nature, and belongs to the Crassulaceae family. Its origin and parentage are not reliably documented. The presence of pubescence and cilia has led to the consideration of a possible influence from species such as Echeveria setosa, but this hypothesis is not proven and should not be considered its genealogy.

❄️ Temperature
USDA 10b. Tolerates minimum temperatures of up to −1 ºC briefly and with the substrate completely dry. It is preferable to protect it from frost, especially when there is high ambient humidity.

☀️ Lighting
Full sun, with an approximate DLI PAR of 20–30 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹. Intense light is essential to maintain the compact rosette and develop its extraordinary range of colors, from pink and salmon to brick red and chocolate brown. In acclimated specimens, it can be grown in full sun, monitoring for sunburn during extreme heat episodes.

💧 Growth cycle and watering
Summer dormancy. Its growth is concentrated mainly in spring and autumn, while high summer temperatures can slow it down. During active growth, it is recommended to water abundantly and let the substrate dry out completely before the next watering. During periods of intense heat, water inputs are reduced, and during winter, the substrate is kept dry or practically dry.

🌸 Flowering
It can produce flower stalks during spring and summer, with small flowers in shades of pink to coral-orange. 

🌿 Nutrition
During the active growth period, Desert CHOICE® Succulents is recommended, applied after watering. Before flowering, it can be supplemented with Desert CHOICE® Flowering. During winter dormancy, fertilization is not recommended.
