Echeveria Janus

Echeveria 'Janus' is a unique and eye-catching succulent that features compact rosettes with thick, fleshy leaves. Its foliage typically displays a blend of pale green to bluish tones, often with a powdery coating (farina) that gives it a soft, matte finish. Under bright light or cooler temperatures, the leaf edges may take on delicate pink or rose-tinted highlights, enhancing its ornamental appeal.

This variety is slow-growing and well-suited to container gardening, windowsill displays, or mixed succulent arrangements. Like most echeverias, 'Janus' prefers a dry environment with excellent airflow and minimal humidity.
