Forming an evergreen rosette of fleshy, grey-green leaves with a dark red edge, Echeveria pulidonis is an attractive, succulent houseplant ideal for windowsill or conservatory displays. In summer it produces small clusters of bright yellow, hanging, urn-shaped flowers on long, arched stems.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. - Home care: Needs very little care, except that the leaves are delicate so need to be handled with care. Water sparingly when required avoiding the actual rosette of leaves, and keep in an even warm environment. As an added bonus, this plant often produces small baby plants or 'chicks' (hence its alternative common name 'hen and chicks') at the base of the main rosette of leaves. Cut these off and pop them into some cactus potting compost to give to all your friends!
