🌱 Morphology

Compact-growth Echeveria hybrid that forms symmetrical rosettes, with fleshy leaves arranged in regular layers that resemble rose petals. Its leaves are elongated, with a relatively wide base and pointed tip, and green hues that contrast with the fuchsia or pink margins and tips. Under intense light and with cool nights, the reddish pigmentation can become notably more pronounced, creating a crimson rose effect. The rosette usually remains small and tidy, although its size and color intensity depend on the clone and growing conditions.

🌍 Origin, genealogy, and family

‘Charlotte Rose’ is a name used in the horticultural trade for an ornamental echeveria with a compact rosette and intensely colored edges. Some sources also use the shortened name ‘Charlotte’. Its breeder, date of creation, and genealogy have not been reliably confirmed, so no specific parents are attributed to it. Its ornamental appeal lies in the rose-like shape of the rosette and the contrast between the green foliage and fuchsia pigmentation.

Family: Crassulaceae. Subfamily: Sempervivoideae. Tribe: Sedeae. Subtribe: Sedinae. Genus: Echeveria.

❄️ Temperature — USDA 9b

Minimum temperature -1 C. Prefers mild temperatures and good ventilation. It is recommended to protect it from frost, especially if the substrate is damp. It can withstand brief temperature drops when acclimated and kept dry, but it should not be exposed to prolonged frost. During winter, a bright, sheltered location helps maintain the compact rosette and prevents root damage.

☀️ Lighting

It needs plenty of light to maintain its compact shape and develop the characteristic fuchsia tones on the margins. Very bright exposure is recommended, with direct sunlight introduced gradually to prevent burning. As a guideline, a PAR DLI of 15–25 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ can promote good coloration in acclimated plants. In summer, in warm climates, it should be protected from the most intense midday sun.

💧 Growth cycle and watering

Opportunistic. Growth is usually most active during spring and autumn, when temperatures are moderate. Water thoroughly and allow the substrate to dry out before watering again. During winter and heatwaves, if the plant slows its growth, watering should be spaced out. It is important to prevent water from pooling in the center of the rosette and to maintain an airy substrate that allows excess moisture to drain quickly.

🌸 Flowering

It can produce arching flower stalks with bell-shaped flowers, as is typical in the Echeveria genus. Flowers in this genus are predominantly pink, coral, or reddish, with yellow hues inside, but no specific floral description of ‘Charlotte Rose’ has been verified. Flowering will depend on the plant's maturity, lighting, and growing conditions.

🌿 Nutrition

During active growth, Desert CHOICE® Succulents is recommended, applied moderately to the previously moistened substrate. Balanced nutrition promotes the development of firm leaves and a compact rosette. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can produce soft tissues and reduce the plant's compact form. During periods of slowed growth, fertilization should be reduced or suspended.
