Echeveria Derenbergii Painted Lady

Plant Description

Echeveria Painted Lady embodies the elegance of smaller Echeveria variants, maintaining a compact diameter of under 3.0". It readily produces offsets, creating organized clusters of petite, spherical rosettes. Originating from the cliffsides of Southern Mexico, this species boasts a blue-green hue and employs a natural powdery wax or "farina" as a sunshield against intense sunlight. Its flowering pattern is equally exceptional—each rosette generates multiple bloom stalks, standing at a diminutive height of under 4.0", adorned with up to 6 yellow, star-shaped flowers per stalk. This enduringly popular species captivates enthusiasts not only with its delightful aesthetic but also due to its forgiving nature when it comes to cultivation.

Water & Light Recommendations

Watering Indoors: Instead of providing your succulents with frequent sips of water, it's better to give them a thorough soaking until water drains out from the pot's drainage holes. Ensure to remove any excess water in the saucer, as succulents dislike sitting in standing water. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.

Watering Outdoors: During summer, water your succulents every two weeks, soaking them and letting the soil dry before watering again. In winter, water them once a month.

Technical Plant Information:
