Echeveria 'Pinky' which is a hybrid of Echeveria shaviana x Echeveria cante. ‘Pinky’ forms a rosette about 9” (23 cm) across with slightly crinkled leaves of a rosy bluish grey. Because the leaves are coated with farine, this delicate beauty is happiest when grown in a greenhouse or under glass: avoid wetting the leaves!

Echeveria is a plant genus of about 150 species of ornamental garden plants in the stonecrop family (Crassulaceae). They are typically rose-shaped with broad fleshy leaves with waxy, velvety, or powdery surfaces and are often iridescent, sometimes red-edged when exposed to sunlight. Echeverias are popular among collectors for their compact symmetrical leaf rosettes, prominent stalked inflorescence (flower cluster), and variety of colors and sizes.
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.
Plant your bare-rooted succulent immediately into slightly moist, well-draining soil and place it in an area that doesn't get direct sunlight. Wait about a week before you water it. Gradually increase the light levels until it has adjusted to its new home.
