Highlights
Echeveria haagai 'Tolimanensis': Tolimanensis is a trade name for this plant of unknown heritage, but it's stayed popular in cultivation with good reason. It has a distinctive form for an Echeveria, with fleshier, upright leaves of deep purple to dove grey and a taller rosette look. The leaves still feature farina, a powdery, waxy substance that coats the leaves of many Echeveria. It offsets freely and can grow quite tall while maintaining full leaf coverage on its stem. This variety grows a tall bloom stalk each summer from which hang numerous coral red, bell-shaped flowers. It has a high success rate for propagation from both offsets, leaves, and stem cuttings.
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" on stolons 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.
