Echeveria Cuspidata Var. Zaragoza

Echeveria cuspidata var. zaragozae is a compact and charming succulent prized for its tight rosettes of fleshy, pointed leaves. The leaves are pale green to bluish with delicate pink to red edges that intensify with bright light and cooler weather, making it a true seasonal beauty. Native to Mexico, this rare variety stays small, making it perfect for container gardening, windowsills, or as part of a succulent arrangement.

Characteristics

• Forms neat, symmetrical rosettes up to 8–12 cm wide.

• Foliage is pale green with striking pink to red margins.

• Produces orange-red flowers on arching stems during its bloom season.

Care Tips

• Light: Prefers bright sunlight to bring out vibrant colors; partial shade in extreme heat.
