Family

Crassulaceae

Origin

Description

Echeveria agavoides is a stemless succulent with a dense, usually solitary rosette of thick fleshy triangular leaves with a terminal spine.  It is a small, stemless succulent plant, 8–12 centimetres (3.1–4.7 in) tall, with a rosette of leaves 7–15 centimetres (2.8–5.9 in) in diameter. It is often solitary, but old plants in good condition grow offsets. The leaves are green, triangular, thicker (6 mm) and more acute than the other echeverias – hence the explanation of their name agavoides, “looking like an agave”

In winter & early spring, red, lantern-shaped flowers with yellow tips appear on tall stems. 

Environment

Full sun to filtered shade. Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not over water.

As with all succulents, the most dangerous situation is too much water- they should never be allowed to sit in water under any circumstances.

These decorative little plants can be grown in interesting containers such as tea cups and even miniature baby shoes. Make sure the container had adequate drainage. If it doesn t, it might be a good idea to pop the plant out of its container and add a layer of gravel to the bottom to reduce the wicking action of the soil above.

Landscape Use

Suitable for Container, Rock Garden & Xeriscaping
