Description
Echeveria shaviana is an evergreen succulent with short-stemmed rosettes, up to 8 in. wide , packed with fifty or more, fleshy, smooth, very wavy crinkled, blue-gray leaves. Thin and delicate, the frilly leaves take on a pink blush in strong light. In summer, it sends up 1ft. tall stems which bear flowers arranged to one side of the stalk, pink outside and yellow inside.
Environment
Full sun to filtered shade. Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not over water.
As with all succulents, the most dangerous situation is too much water- they should never be allowed to sit in water under any circumstances.
These decorative little plants can be grown in interesting containers such as tea cups and even miniature baby shoes. Make sure the container had adequate drainage. If it doesn t, it might be a good idea to pop the plant out of its container and add a layer of gravel to the bottom to reduce the wicking action of the soil above.
Landscape Use
Suitable for Container, Rock Garden & Xeriscaping
