This is an attractive seed-grown Echeveria Agavoides with pink
leaves. The original plants only appeared a few years ago in a Dutch collection
and it is now being grown from seed with most seedlings keeping the pink
colour. It measures 6.5cms across. With good sunlight, it should keep a good
colour and make an attractive plant. Although the leaves can be a little soft
in the winter, it is best to avoid watering each year until warmer weather in
March. It does not like to be cold and wet for too
long. It is the plant in the photo below.
- They like to grow in a bright spot preferably in full sun. They are not frost hardy, water when
dry, about every two weeks. Keep dry during the winter.
