The genus Echeveria is named in honor of the Spanish botanist Atanasio Echeverria Codoy. Several species are wonderful garden plants. It is a popular, beautiful and easy to grow kind of plants at home. Grouping several different Echeveria together is a great way to showcase the different leaf shapes. Rosettes reach up to 20 cm in diameter and eventually form other shoots. They usually develop fleshy leaves in a rosette taking on several interesting geometric shapes and a variety of colors, from green to gray, blue, mauve, pink and almost white, often with contrasting colors. Plants do not require pruning. Most species lose their leaves in winter. Dudleyas prefer a dry summer, which is their period of dormancy. Since it is the opposite for Echeveria, we often find these 2 genera in the same garden. Echeveria are polycarpic, meaning they can produce flowers and seeds multiple times during their life. The flower stems are attractive, sporting yellow, red or white bell-shaped flowers, some with an interesting gradation of colors. Hardiness zones 9-11, (-5 C / 25 F, 4 C / 40 F). Most species can thrive in shade and tolerate light frost. Plants prefer indirect sunlight. During the growing period, normal room temperature is appropriate. The plants are rather drought tolerant. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. They prefer dry soil and good drainage. Do not water the rosette.Sow in a soil composed of sphagnum moss and sand and cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite. Place in a warm place and keep a temperature between 20-25ºC (68-77ºF). After sowing, do not exclude light, since this helps germination. Keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. Germination takes around 30-180 days, it could take a little longer, don't give up.
