Echeveria subsessilis variegata
Place ideally in a sunny position.
Always water a few days after the substrate has dried out. In winter, we limit watering.
It can tolerate down to -3.9 °C in the short term. However, the plant is not hardy.
I recommend transplanting the plant into a larger pot in spring. This will ensure better and bigger growth and promote the overall health of the plant.
Echeveria subsessilis variegata is probably native to Mexico. It shows an inconspicuous resemblance and can also be found under other names.
The iridescent silver-grey leaves tend to be quite large and firm. They have a bumpy edge and end in an inconspicuous red tip. The lower leaves dry naturally over time. The relatively large rosettes grow without a stem and spread out in all directions.
In summer, long flower stalks grow up to 25 cm tall. They produce showy coral flowers that last for quite a long time on the plant.
Do not fertilise the succulent, but I recommend transplanting it into a larger pot for better growth. Care should be taken with watering so that the substrate is not waterlogged for long periods. Echeveria subsessilis variegata is a beautiful stemless rosette of silvery grey-green colour, which attracts the eye of many an observer with its slightly wavy edges and coral flowers.
