Where it grows
Cultivar bred in horticulture.
Special features
Echeveria hoveyi is a large-growing Echeveria with elongated leaves. These specimens have attractive white variegation on the leaf margins, and ghostly-gray chlorophyll in the leaf centers. They tinge pink when given enough light. These are large specimens displayed in 10cm pots.
Care Guide
Give these Echeveria plenty of light to accentuate their colours. Full morning sun is preferred, and if grown in a greenhouse, they should not be kept under more than 40% shade cloth. Grow them in a well-draining soil mix that has plenty of organic components like bark. Water well in the warmer months when they are in active growth, but slow down on watering in winter.
