Echeveria Mauna Loa 130mm

Echeveria 'Mauna Loa' – A Volcanic Beauty in Bloom

Bold. Sculptural. Ever-Changing.
Named after Hawaii’s iconic volcano, Echeveria 'Mauna Loa' is a showstopping succulent that lives up to its namesake. This stunning variety forms large, ruffled rosettes with thick, spoon-shaped leaves that shift in color from pale green to rich pinks, grey-greens, and fiery reds. Mature plants may develop fascinating bumpy textures known as carunculations, giving each rosette even more character and dimension.

Key Features:

• Massive Rosettes: Can reach an impressive 12–18 inches wide, making it a true focal point in any succulent garden or container display.
• Frilled Leaf Edges: Wavy, curled margins give the plant a dramatic, ornamental look.
• Vibrant, Variable Coloration: Leaf colors intensify with sun exposure and stress, blending pastel greens, silvers, pinks, and deep reds.
• Unique Texture: Older leaves may develop carunculations, wart-like bumps that add to its rare and exotic appeal.
• Seasonal Flowers: In fall to winter, expect tall bloom stalks bearing soft orange-pink flowers.

Care Guide:

• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Bright light enhances color and texture. In hotter climates, protect from harsh afternoon sun.
• Watering: Allow the soil to dry completely between deep waterings. Water less frequently in winter. Avoid watering the rosette center.
• Soil: Requires well-draining succulent or cactus soil. Add perlite or pumice for extra drainage if needed.
• Temperature: Best in USDA zones 9–11. Not frost-tolerant—bring indoors or protect in colder climates.
• Fertilizer: Feed lightly in spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks.
• Maintenance: Some growers remove flower stalks to maintain the rosette’s shape and conserve energy.

Propagation Tips:

Propagate by leaf cuttings, stem beheading, or offsets (pups) that develop at the base. Excellent for creating more plants or shaping leggy growth.
