Echeveria agavoides Red Edge Echeveria agavoides is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, native to rocky areas of Mexico, notably the states of San Luis Potosí, Hidalgo, Guanajuato and Durango. Produces stemless, star-shaped rosette of fat leaves up to 20 cm in diameter. It is often solitary or growing offsets only slowly. 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".
Although they are fairly drought tolerant, they will become more spectacular with regular deep watering and light fertilizing. The hybrids and variegated versions tend to be less tolerant of frost and shade.
Succulents love indirect sunlight and good drainage. Make sure they get good air circulation, such as from wind or a fan.
They are not meant to be indoor plants. Usually not toxic for animals.
- • Water: Only when the soil feels dry. Do not water the leaves. Make sure the pot has a hole at the bottom to drain water.
- • Temperature: Does not tolerate temperatures below freezing. Cover your succulent with a sheet or light blanket if there is frost.
- • Flowering: In winter to early spring, it produces dark pink bell-shaped flowers
- • Soil: highly porous (not compost or wood) such as one that contains pumice, zeolite, and perlite
We are happy to deliver healthy and high-quality plants from Paris. We prepare them for ideal shipping conditions by packing bare root (this means it comes without soil but has roots) and delicately wrapped in toilet paper as padding. Succulents can take a few days or even weeks to recover from their travels. This is completely normal and no need to worry. Be patient. They will thrive again.
We cannot control what happens once the item has been shipped. The shipping price includes a tracking number. If plants arrive damaged due to transit, please contact us within 24 hours of delivery with a photo of the plant as well as the packaging. Do not dispose of the plants or packaging as the carrier may request their return.
Please ensure that you are able to import this plant into your country. I am unable to provide a phytosanitary certificate and cannot be responsible if it is held or destroyed in customs.
