＊Echeveria 'Brown Rose': A lovely cultivar with a unique look. This rosette has particularly thick, wide, and upright leaves. It has fuzzy lines of cilia running along the edges of the leaves and down the keel of their outer sides. The rosette has a green base tone but can get pink to orange flushing swirled through its leaves when it is grown in bright sunlight.

 

＊Echeveria need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and compact rosette form. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.

 

＊Like most succulents, they need great drainage and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
