There are a number of species of Echeveria with leaves coated with short hairs, giving the plants a plush-toy texture. One of these is Echeveria pulvinata, from southeast of Mexico City in the states of Puebla and Oaxaca. The usual form of the species has green leaves, tipped with bright red if given sufficient light. In contrast, the form known as Echeveria pulvinata âFrostyâ has silvery-white hairs, giving it a frosted appearance. It comes from the mountains of northern Oaxaca, to the north of the city of Oaxaca.
Caring for echeveria
1) Avoid prolonged sun exposure as it can lead to sunburn
2) Minimise rain splash to prevent rot
3) Use inorganic, well draining, gritty mix
4) Always use a pot with drainage hole
5) Give at least 4-5hours of direct morning sun or 8-12 hours of growlight to prevent etiolation
6) Propagate by stem cuttings, leaf or seeds
7) Avoid spraying with water or oil-based products as the farina will be destroyed đ It is normal for bottom leaves to dry up if it is newly potted as the roots are not established. Give it some moisture to start the rooting process.
9) Treat regularly with diluted fungicide solution such as captan or zagro stilt.
