Echeveria Crested #46

Echeveria 'Crested' is a fascinating succulent that stands out from the crowd with its unique, fan-shaped or brain-like growth pattern. This captivating mutation, also known as fasciation, occurs when the plant's growing point flattens and widens, resulting in multiple growing points and an unpredictable, sculptural form.

Appearance:

• Leaves: Thick, fleshy leaves that typically exhibit a beautiful blend of colors, including shades of green, pink, purple, and even orange, depending on the specific cultivar and growing conditions. The leaves may have a smooth or slightly powdery surface, and their shape can vary from rounded to pointed. The crested growth form creates a mesmerizing, wavy, and undulating pattern, making each plant truly one-of-a-kind.

• Size: The size of a crested Echeveria can vary significantly depending on the original cultivar and the extent of the mutation. However, they generally remain relatively compact and slow-growing, making them suitable for containers and small spaces.

Growth Habits and Care:

• Sunlight: Thrives in bright, indirect light or gentle morning sun

• Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix, to prevent root rot.

• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, allowing it to dry out completely between waterings.

• Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures but can tolerate cool temperatures if kept dry.

• Maintenance: Minimal maintenance required.
