Description
The #52 Echeveria agavoides "Lipstick" is a rosette-shaped succulent with sharp, triangular leaves. In full sun, leaf tips and margins redden for a striking lipstick-like coloration.
- Leaf Shape and Color: Sharper, triangular leaves forming a classic rosette with red tips and margins in bright sun.
- Sun Exposure: Prefers full sun to partial shade; full sun intensifies red/pink hues, but too much direct afternoon sun can burn foliage.
- Offsets and Propagation: Produces many propagable offsets and can be propagated from leaf cuttings or offsets; can also be grown from stem cuttings and seed.
- Flowers: Red flowers with yellow tips; blooms appear in large inflorescences of bright yellow, orange, or red flowers.
- Growth Habit: Evergreen succulent; rosette-shaped and capable of shrub-like growth when mature.
- Soil and Water: Requires well-draining soil and is prone to damping off if overwatered.
- Container and Size: Juvenile specimen shipped in basic plastic nursery containers approximately 2" tall and across the top; containers are usually orange or black; size and color vary with season and growing conditions.
- Maturity and Variability: Not mature plants; size and color may vary based on time of year, growing temperatures, day length, and growing season.
Beyond its bold silhouette, Lipstick offers practical propagation opportunities through offsets and leaf cuttings, making it easy to expand your collection or share plants. Its sun-loving color shift adds year-round interest to sunny windowsills, patios, or garden borders, while the emphasis on well-draining soil keeps care straightforward for beginners and experienced growers alike.
