Description
The #50 Echeveria agavoides "Red Tips" is a striking evergreen succulent featuring a bright green rosette with distinctive dark red-tipped leaf edges, ideal for sunlit interiors or sunny outdoor containers.
- Scientific name / cultivar: Echeveria agavoides "Red Tips" (resembles Lipstick but with leaves that are more rounded and less triangular).
- Growth habit / size: Forms large rosettes up to 1' in diameter; can develop shrub-like growth when allowed to mature.
- Leaf color and shape: Bright green central growth with spiky leaf tips that terminate in dark red; leaves are more rounded than the Lipstick variety.
- Bloom: Blooms in summer with yellow flowers.
- Light and color: Prefers full sun to partial shade; full sun tends to enhance red hues, but too much direct afternoon sun can burn foliage.
- Soil and watering: Requires well-draining soil and should not be overwatered to avoid damping off; succulent care basics include letting soil dry between waterings.
- Hardiness: Most Echeveria cannot survive cold, wet winters; protect in colder climates or bring indoors during harsh seasons.
- Propagation: Propagates from leaf cuttings or offsets; can also be grown from stem cuttings and seed.
- Container content: Some containers may include 1–4 smaller rooted plants, varying by species and growth habit (vertical vs. horizontal).
- Container details: Containers are basic plastic nursery stock, typically orange or black, about 2" tall and across the top.
- Plant maturity: Juvenile specimens; not near maturity, with small imperfections expected to outgrow over time.
- Shipping notes: Stock is dynamic and what is available today may not be available tomorrow; consider potential soil displacement during shipping and propagation methods for succulent leaves.
This Echeveria adds architectural form and color to any bright space. In the right conditions, it rewards with striking rosettes, seasonal yellow blooms, and easy propagation for lush, vibrant displays.
