As the name Agavoides (meaning in the form of Agave) implies, this variety has sharper, more triangular leaves than most Echeveria which gives it a very distinct appearance. Like most Echeveria this variety reddens in full sun, but the "Lipstick" name perfectly describes the striking red coloration that appears on the leaf tips and margins of this particular plant. E. agavoides "Lipstick" produces many propagable offsets, and has red flowers with yellow tips.
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 inflorescences of bright yellow, orange, or red flowers. Echeveria can generally be propagated from leaf cuttings or offsets, but can also be grown from stem cuttings and seed.
Here's your opportunity to order exact succulent species at an awesome price! We will continue to add new types as they become available, and we're pretty darn sure you won't find them cheaper anywhere!
We always do our best to ship the largest and healthiest succulents we have available. But size and color may vary based on multiple factors including time of year, growing temps, length of days, and their growing seasons. Succulents generally slow down and almost stop growing during the coldest months of the year, but come spring and summer you can often see growth in just days.
If looking for exact Haworthias, Gasterias and Aloes, please see those pages specifically.
Some containers may have 1,2,3, and even 4 smaller rooted plants, this can also vary based on the species and the way they grow, vertical vs horizontal being possible factors. Containers are basic plastic nursery stock with colors are usually orange or black, and approx. 2" tall and across the top.
Please remember these are juvenile specimens, they are nowhere near maturity, and any small imperfections will be outgrown in time. Please see our multiple blogs and care instruction on potential soil displacement during shipping, and propagating many types of succulent leaves etc.
Unfortunately we cannot delay shipping on these exact types as our stock is always changing and what we have available today, may not be available tomorrow or next week/month.
