Echeveria Longissima 100mm

Echeveria longissima is a striking rosette-forming succulent known for its tightly packed, fleshy blue-green leaves edged with a soft pink to red tinge under sun exposure. This slow-growing species creates a compact and symmetrical form, making it a perfect addition to both indoor displays and outdoor succulent gardens.

Native to Mexico, Echeveria longissima is prized for its sculptural shape and subtle color transitions. In the growing season, it may produce tall, arching flower stalks adorned with small, bell-shaped blooms in shades of red and yellow.

Key Characteristics:

• Compact, symmetrical rosettes reaching up to 10 cm in diameter
• Leaves are spoon-shaped with a powdery, glaucous coating
• Develops red-pink leaf margins with adequate sunlight
• Drought-tolerant and suited for containers or rock gardens
• May offset slowly to form small clumps over time

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light indoors or full sun to partial shade outdoors. Coloration improves with sunlight.
• Water: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water deeply but infrequently. Avoid overhead watering to prevent rot.
• Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal.
• Temperature: Protect from frost. Best grown in temperatures above 10°C.
• Fertilizer: Feed sparingly in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertilizer.
• Propagation: Can be propagated from offsets or leaf cuttings in warm seasons.

The first photo serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
