Seed grown echeveria laui; enhanced pink version. The parent plants show deep pink colouration in cool temperatures.
Pot diameter is 2.5in/6cm.
Echeveria laui care: follow general instructions on the care page.
Water needs: low
Additional notes for this species: laui is more susceptible to rot/fungal disease than other echeveria. Use a high grit soil (at least 70% grit) and be careful not to over-water, especially in humid environments. A bit of gentle air flow from a fan can help as well.
Growth rate: slow
Cold hardy: no
Origin: native to Mexico
Plant will be shipped bare root. The plant in the photo is the plant you will receive. Photos are taken in natural sunlight.
In spring, many photos are taken of plants that have been held in cool storage for 1 – 2 months, which slows growth and can intensify colours in some varieties. When moved/planted back in warmer growing conditions (such as indoors), colours may soften or shift as the plant resumes active growth. Cool-storage photos are always noted on product listings.
Partial Cristate
These unique plants show a mix of crested and normal growth. Growth may change over time as the plant matures, becoming more or less crested. Each plant develops its own structure. The unpredictable growth pattern is part of their appeal.
Higher Elevations
Many succulents originating from higher-elevation habitats perform best with moderate temperatures. They generally appreciate warm, bright days followed by cooler nights rather than being kept continuously warm/hot.
In Canada, these succulents can be grown successfully indoors, but they may grow more vigorously and develop better colour/form when grown outdoors during the warmer months (acclimate to direct sun gradually).
