Additional notes for this cultivar: echeveria desmetiana is native to higher elevations in Mexico. It grows best in bright light and moderate temperatures. It does not grow as well in an environment that is constantly warm or hot. It likes to spend part of the year outside if possible (higher elevation echeveria prefer a day/night temperature swing).
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).
