#10 Echeveria Minima

Echeveria minima is a miniature species of Echeveria with small rosettes that remain approximately 4" in diameter. This species has mint green leaves with tips that turn reddish pink, especially when grown in full sun. Each rosette of E. minima will generally produce its own bloom, which results in beautiful small groupings of yellow flower inflorescences.  Echeveria is a large genus of evergreen succulents in the family Crassulaceae native to Central America. These plants are rosette shaped and some can form shrub-like growth when allowed to grow large. Echeveria need well-draining soil and are prone to damping off if overwatered. Some varieties can handle frost but most can not survive cold, wet winters.Plants in this genus prefer full sun to partial shade depending on desired coloration - full sun tends to bring out red or pink hues. However, too much direct afternoon sun can burn foliage. Leaves can be waxy or hairy, or even glaucate or farinose. Flowers appear in large infloresc
