Echeveria
Echeveria is one of the most colorful genus of the vast crassulaceae family due to the considerable variability in the size and coloring of the leaves and flowers.
Their shape is always that of one or more rosettes of succulent leaves, which can be carried by an elongated stem, simple or branched, but more often shortened to be invisible.
Widespread especially in Mexico, the genus is present with some species in the north, in the United States and in the south, in central and southern America.
In nature it prefers mountainous areas, colonizing rocky walls, in cracks where the dripping of rainwater keeps a minimum of humidity.
Care
Given their mountain origins in winter they are tolerant of low temperatures, but even if perfectly dry, only a few species survive freezing. In cultivation they require substrates with a good organic content and well drained. Most echeverias like frequent watering during the vegetation period, punctual fertilization and transplanting once every two or three years. The cochineal mealybug is the parasite that most frequently attacks these plants, causing bad leaf deformations and rot.-
