Description

Habit: Forms rosettes of leaves, and as it ages, it will naturally form offsets, creating clusters of rosettes. Each rosette can reach 13-15 cm in diameter.[1]

Leaves: Tapered to a sharp point. Green with red margins.[1]

Flowers: Yellow.[1]


Cultivation

Half-hardy. Dislikes water sitting on its leaves, but tolerates this more than some other Echeveria species do.[1]

Taxonomy

Echeveria is named for Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy, a botanical illustrator who contributed to Flora Mexicana.[2]


gollark: (i.e. it's not in my packs at all)
gollark: I don't use EIO now because I disagree with the changes it made in the 1.12 update.
gollark: Ferroboron can't be made in an induction smelter, oddly.
gollark: I don't want tiny compact-machine-fitting things (well, I kind of do, but separate to giant, awe-inspiring ones incorporating fusion plasma injectors of death, hopefully), I want giant ones requiring huge amounts of infrastructure to support it, with cool visual effects, massive (actually fitting, you know, a *fusion* reactor) power output (ideally via steam turbines), that sort of thing.
gollark: Also, I hope the new fusion reactors take inspiration from ReactorCraft.
