Echeveria decora f. Variegata
Echeveria decora f. Variegata is a variegata form of Echeveria decora, a succulent plant valued for its symmetrical rosette and fleshy leaves. The variegata variety is distinguished by its attractive foliage, which has stripes or margins of contrasting colors, typically a combination of green, creamy white, and sometimes pink or red, depending on exposure to light and d other environmental factors. This variegation adds additional visual interest to the plant, making each specimen unique.
Origin: Echeverias are native to semi-desert regions of Mexico, Central America and northern South America. Variegata forms, such as Echeveria decora f. Variegata, are often the result of specific genetic mutations and are highly valued in horticulture for their beauty.
Growth: The growth of Echeveria decora f. Variegata is relatively slow, forming compact rosettes that can reach several centimeters in diameter. Over time, the plant may produce suckers or "babies" at the base of the main rosette, allowing for easy propagation.
Flowers: Like other Echeverias, this variety can produce upright flower spikes bearing bell-shaped flowers, often pink or red in color. Flowering usually occurs in spring or summer.
Light: Prefers bright but indirect light. Direct exposure to sunlight can be tolerated for part of the day, but it is important to protect the plant from the most intense sun rays to avoid burns.
Watering: Requires moderate watering. Allow the medium to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in winter.
Substrate: Well-draining soil is crucial. Use a cactus and succulent mix of potting soil, coarse sand, and perlite or gravel.
Temperature: Tolerates a range of temperatures but must be protected from freezing. Warm, dry conditions are ideal.
