ECHEVERIA SACCULANT

Scientific Name: Echeveria spp

Common Names: Echeveria

Description:

Echeveria is a large genus of succulent plants within the Crassulaceae family. They are native to Mexico and Central America, known for their beautiful rosettes of fleshy, often colorful leaves.

Size: Echeveria species come in a wide range of sizes, from miniature varieties reaching only a few inches (a few cm) in diameter to larger types growing up to 2 feet (60 cm) across.

Leaves: The defining feature is the rosette formation of thick, fleshy leaves. These leaves are typically:

• Spoon-shaped or oblong in form.
• Arranged in a compact rosette around a central stem.

Stems: The Echeveria stem is usually short and hidden beneath the rosette of leaves. In some species, the stem may elongate as the plant matures.

Uses: Echeverias are popular succulents due to their:

• Stunning rosettes of colorful, fleshy leaves.
• Wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors to choose from.
• Relatively easy care requirements (prefer bright light, infrequent watering, and well-draining soil).
