Product Details

Highlights

Echeveria 'Crinoline Ruffles' (Wright): A lovely, blue-green rosette with pronounced pink, ruffled edges. When grown in bright sunlight, the pink margins can deepen to a vibrant coral red but maintain a coating of powdery farina. 'Crinoline Ruffles' can grow to 1.0" wide then grows tall on a bare stem, but it's easily beheaded and replanted to manage its size.

Echeveria need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and compact rosette form. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.

Like most succulents, they need great drainage and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

Also known as "Mexican Hens & Chicks", Echeveria can produce new offsets or "chicks" around the base of the mother plant. These chicks can be left to form a tidy cluster or removed and transplanted. Additionally, Echeveria can be propagated from stem cuttings or mature leaves. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for more information.

Zone 4/5 here. My succulents live indoors in the winter and need supplementary light to avoid stretching. Would love to know what artificial lights you use/recommend. Full spectrum (white), grow spectrum (blue/purple), other? Do you have a preferred brand of lighting? How many hours extra are needed for soft, hard, other, succulents? See more »

Yes! You can find grow light specs and recommended types here on our Guide to Grow Lights for Succulents.

All Echeveria need lots of sunshine for healthy, compact growth and vibrant colors. Aim to keep it outdoors in full sun in frost-free weather, indoors on a sunny, south-facing window sill, or directly under a Succulent Grow Light that's on for 12-14 hours per day. Echeveria are polycarpic and can bloom every year.

You can keep them in window sills! Different windows will get different amounts of sun of course, but wherever you're keeping any succulent, the best way to prevent sunburn is to let the plant gradually adapt to brighter sun. Slowly move the plant closer to the window sill over the course of 1-2 weeks. Especially dry or unrooted succulents are more susceptible to sunburn. You can also periodically rotate the pot to even out the light exposure on all sides.

I attached a link to our page about sunburn below, so you can catch it early if it does start. I hope this helps!

I have quite a few echeveria that did not come with labels. I’ve tried the ‘plant ID’ apps and Google Lens, but those aren’t reliable. So how do you know? See more »

Identifying the many species and cultivars of Echeveria is notoriously difficult. We like to use a database called the International Crassulaceae Network (ICN for short) to help us identify Echeveria, among others.

Looking through the database takes a lot of time so you may find that it's not worth it. However, if your heart's set on a name, that's a good option for finding it.

That's a good question,

There's a lot of variability to the sizes of plants. If we're talking just Echeveria in a 2" pot, I would bet that the plants themselves are roughly 1" tall and 2.5" wide. The leaves do go over the edge of the pot in many cases.

We also commonly sell plants in 3.5" pots and with these I would say that the plants are at most 3.5" tall and around 3-3.5" wide. These plants don't seem to go over the edge of their pots as often. I know this was rather vague but I hope it helps!

I don't think I am overwatering it but I have noticed the part of the plant near the soil starts to wither and die. The rest of the plant looks ok and it seems to be growing. Any thoughts? See more »

This sounds like natural leaf senescence. This is when a plant redistributes nutrients from old leaves to new leaves, dropping them in the process. An Echeveria might do this if its new leaves shade out the old leaves or in times of drought. Some of the more high maintenance Echeveria develop a, relatively, long stem for seemingly no reason and will need to be beheaded and the head rerooted in order to maintain a compact look.

I like the pretty Echevaria plants and want to know if they can be planted in the direct sun in the yard. See more »

In zone 10, you're Echeveria will thrive in the sun. Just be sure to introduce them to full sun conditions slowly. Start with about four hours of sun before moving them into the shade. Then, the next day, give them five hours of sun. Keep doing this until your plants are thriving in full sun conditions. While acclimating, be sure to inspect your Echeveria regularly for signs of sunburn, which you can read about at the link below.

The main difference, from a care standpoint, is hardiness. Sempervivum can survive temperatures to -20°F or even -30°F. Meanwhile, Echeveria shouldn't even freeze.

From a taxonomic standpoint, the main difference is that they're in different genera, although they belong to the same family. This is quite significant and means that these plants, although they look similar, are not the same. Sempervivum rosettes, for instance, die after they flower while Echeveria do not. Semepervivum blooms have petals that spread wide like a daisy's petals, while Echeveria have petals that form a tube. Sempervivum are native to Europe and the Mediterranean, while Echeveria are native to central America.

However, they do share one thing in common. They're both charming rosette plants that are adored the world over. Click the link below to watch a video that explains the differences further… See full answer »

I'm looking to buy some pots before I get my order and I see that the maximum size for the different echeveria species I'm looking at is written on their pages. However, I'm not sure how big the rosettes come after buying them and don't want to get too big of a pot just yet. I also see some of the plants I want come as plugs and would like to know how big the rosettes are for those. Thank you! See more »

You're welcome!

Our 2" pot Echeveria are anywhere from 1.5" to 6", but they all do great in 3" to 4" pots. As far as plugs are concerned, they can be happy in a 2" pot.

Yes! Echeveria would thrive in those conditions. Just be sure to introduce them to full sun conditions gradually to avoid sunburn.
