Echeveria agavoides "Red Tips" has bright green central growth that extends to spiky leaf tips, which terminate in dark red. This E. agavoides is similar to the "Lipstick" variety, but has leaves that are more rounded and less triangular. A larger Echeveria, this variety can grow large rosettes up to 1' in diameter. "Red Tips" blooms in summer with yellow flowers.
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.
