€10,60
🌱 Morphology
Compact and symmetrical rosette horticultural hybrid that can reach approximately 15–18 cm in diameter. Its leaves are very fleshy, wide, oval, and slightly pointed, with a surface covered in whitish farinathat gives them a matte finish, ranging from blue-green to silver-gray. With good lighting and cool nights, the margins and exposed areas take on pink, orange, or reddish hues.
🌍 Distribution, habitat, and family
Horticultural cultivar with no natural distribution of its own. Its genealogy is unconfirmed; it has been linked to Echeveria laui and Echeveria colorata, but there is not enough evidence to confirm this lineage. Family: Crassulaceae.
❄️ Temperature
USDA 9b (−3.9 °C) as a general guideline, not as a guarantee of hardiness. It is recommended to protect it from frost, especially if the substrate is moist, and to avoid prolonged low temperatures.
☀️ Lighting
Full sun, with gradual acclimatization. Approximate PAR DLI of 15–25 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹. Intense lighting promotes a compact rosette and the appearance of warm tones; in summer, it is advisable to protect it from extreme sun during the hours of peak sunlight.
💧 Growth cycle and watering
Opportunistic, with generally more active growth in spring and autumn. It is recommended to water thoroughly and allow the substrate to dry out completely before watering again. During heatwaves and cold winters, watering frequency should be reduced, avoiding waterlogging and persistent moisture in the center of the rosette. The farina should not be touched, as removing it leaves permanent marks.
🌸 Flowering
Produces arched inflorescences with bell-shaped flowers in pink and orange tones, usually in spring.
🌿 Nutrition
During the active growth period, Desert CHOICE® Succulents is recommended, applied after watering. Before flowering, it can be supplemented with Desert CHOICE® Flowering. Fertilizing is not recommended during the winter dormancy period.
