Product Details
Weight: 1.00 kg
Echeveria derenbergii is a beautiful succulent that forms dense, pagoda-shaped rosettes of light green, more and less glaucous leaves, often with reddish margins and tips. The rosettes can grow up to 3.2 inches (8 cm) in diameter, aggressively producing offsets from a young age and forming large clumps. The leaves are thick, fleshy, obovate-cuneate, ending abruptly in a short sharp point. They can measure up to 1.6 inches (4 cm) long, 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, and 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) thick.
From late winter to summer, Echeveria derenbergii produces yellow, cup-shaped flowers with "painted" red keels and tips. The flowers appear on erect, leafy stalks that can reach up to 3.2 inches (8 cm) in height.
Most common Echeveria species are not complicated succulents to grow, provided you follow a few basic rules. First, be careful never to let water sit in the rosette as it can cause rot or fungal diseases that will kill the plant. Additionally, remove dead leaves from the bottom of the plant as it grows. These dead leaves provide a haven for pests, and Echeverias are susceptible to mealy bugs Finally, as with all succulents, careful watering habits and plenty of light will help ensure success.
Repot as needed, preferably during the warm season. To repot a succulent, ensure the soil is dry before repotting, then gently remove the pot. Knock away the old soil from the roots, removing any rotted or dead roots. Treat any cuts with a fungicide.
