Echeveria Potosina

Echeveria potosina is a rare and elegant species native to Mexico, treasured for its tight, symmetrical rosette of silvery-blue to pale green leaves, often dusted with farina (a natural wax coating) that gives the plant a soft, frosted look. The leaf edges may blush pink in strong sunlight or cooler temperatures, adding subtle colour variation to this refined species.

This compact succulent is perfect for small pots, dish gardens, and rockeries. Its slow growth, tidy form, and striking colour make it an excellent choice for collectors or minimalist arrangements.

Key Features:

• Silvery-blue, rounded leaves in a tight rosette

• Farina coating provides a soft, powdery appearance

• May develop pink tones with sun or cool weather

• Compact and ideal for container growing

• Rare and desirable among succulent collectors

Care Tips:

• Light: Needs bright, indirect light to full sun. Morning sun is ideal.

• Watering: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Avoid wetting leaves.

• Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.

• Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 15–28°C. Protect from frost.

• Fertiliser: Light feeding during spring and summer with diluted fertiliser.

• Propagation: Can be propagated from offsets or leaf cuttings.
