Description:
It is one of the most attractive of the Echevarias and has a very fine
waxy blue-white bloom on all the succulent leaves. It is very
symmetrical and pretty whether or not it is in flower.
Flowers: pink-orange.
NOTE: Be very careful as the white bloom is
soft and easily damaged by the lightest touch. People are irresistibly
attracted by the beautiful leaves and tend to touch the plant… …and it
is common to see the culprits fingerprint imprinted on the edge
of a leaf.
Cultivation: Water moderately from March to
September and allow the plant to dry between waterings, avoid getting
the leaves wet they does not welcome overhead waterings!!!. Overwinter
in a cool and ventilated environment and keep plants dry, Hardy to -3°C
Exposition: Need a full sun position but tolerate light shade
(Shrivelling up and falling of leaves along with gaps in the leaf spaces
may indicate low light levels... this means that it is necessary to
increase the amount of light gradually over a few days to a week)
Propagation: Usually by
seeds but If the plant is
repotted some of the bottom
leaves can be
removed for attempting
leaf propagation, it is also a common practice to
collect the leaves on the
flower stem, however this is not one of the
easiest
species to make rooting as many of such a
cuttings will dry out
without producing a
plantlet,
but whit perseverance it is likely to get a few new plant.
