Description
Meet the #95 Echeveria Setosa "Mexican Firecracker" — a slow-growing rosette succulent with hair-like leaves and bright spring blossoms, ideal for sunny containers, shelves, or rock gardens. Its compact size and unique texture make it a striking addition to mixed succulent arrangements.
- Growth habit: Slow-growing rosette; evergreen succulent in the Crassulaceae family that can form shrub-like growth if allowed to mature.
- Size: Grows up to 12" wide.
- Foliage texture: Leaves are covered in small hairs, giving a soft, textured appearance; leaves can be waxy, hairy, or glaucous depending on conditions.
- Flowers: Produces yellow and red blossoms in Spring; flowers appear in large inflorescences.
- Light requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade; full sun tends to bring out red or pink hues, but too much direct afternoon sun can burn foliage.
- Soil & watering: Requires well-draining soil; overwatering can lead to damping off—allow soil to dry between waterings.
- Hardiness: Not typically frost-hardy; most varieties do not survive cold, wet winters and should be protected in freezing conditions.
- Propagation: Can be propagated from leaf cuttings or offsets; can also be grown from stem cuttings or seed.
- Container & stock: Juvenile specimens shipped in basic plastic nursery containers (approx. 2" tall and across the top); container color varies (orange or black); size and number of plants per container can vary by stock.
- Care & shipping notes: Expect potential soil displacement during shipping; arrival care instructions are provided to help roots settle and thrive.
Benefits: The textured, hairy foliage creates visual interest in bright spaces, while spring blooms add warm color accents. Its drought-tolerant nature makes it easy to care for in containers, windowsills, or mixed succulent arrangements, and propagation from leaves or offsets offers an approachable way to expand your collection over time.
