This is a pretty Echeveria, Echeveria 'Dondo', a US hybrid from Dick Wright.   The cristate form is easy to grow and the plant listed here was grown from a cutting taken from a plant in the collection last year.     The leaf colour varies through the year, being greener in mid-summer and at its best during the colder months when it is not watered.

It measures 5.5cms across so is still quite small, and 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.  

  •  Post and packing in the UK is £3.90 flat rate for any number of plants.  We only charge the actual cost of postage and packing materials.
  • Postage to Europe is £9.50 and we use Priority Recorded Post with signature on receipt, postage for extra plants is another 40p each.
  • Sorry but we can’t post outside Europe as Phytosanitary and CITES permits are too expensive and take weeks to obtain.

  • The plant will be sent ex pots and posted first class and well packed. On receipt pot into free draining compost, we suggest a mix of two parts good quality John Innes soil based compost to one part coarse grit. Use fairly shallow pots, most cacti and succulents are not deep rooted.
  • Payment is best made by Paypal as it is speedy and secure.
  • The plant will be sent within a few days of receipt of payment.  If they have been recently watered a few days are necessary to allow it to dry before posting.

  • We've been growing cacti and succulents since 1975 and regularly give talks at BCSS branch meetings and judge cactus shows during the summer. If you're not a member of the British Cactus & Succulent Society,  have a look at their website, most branches have regular monthly meetings and there's always a warm welcome for prospective new members.  .
