Product Details

Highlights

Echeveria harmsii 'Ruby Slippers': A form of a naturally occurring Echeveria species from Oaxaca, Mexico. It is also known as a Chenille Plant, Ruby Blush, or Red Velvet because it has a crimson, velvety coating to protect it from the intense sun of its rocky habitats.

'Ruby Slippers' is a sun-loving plant and needs protection from hard frosts, but a little bit of environmental stress like direct sun, drought, and cool weather bring out the brightest reds along leaf margins. It is wonderfully low-maintenance whether growing in-ground or in a pot, so long as it has great drainage and gets plenty of sunshine. It usually blooms in winter by sending up flower stalks covered with orange, bell-shaped flowers.

The rosettes will stay fairly small but the fuzzy stems beneath them will continue to branch and grow up to 10.0" long. Fortunately, 'Ruby Slippers' propagates easily from leaves and stem cuttings, so you can keep the plant compact by cutting the stem just below a rosette, leaving to dry 3-5 days, then planting the rosette on moist, well-draining soil to re-grow roots (more info).
