Cultivar with a mutation that does not occur in nature.
Special features
Echeveria ‘Trumpet’ is a small, compact growing succulent with leaves resembling miniature trumpets. The blue-purple colouration lends it the appearance of deep-sea coral. It is also known as Echeveria ‘Pig Nose’.
This cultivar is not to be confused with Echeveria ‘Trumpet Pinky’, which is a large plant with elongated leaves.
Care Guide
Echeveria prefer plenty of light. These plants can handle morning sun, but if grown in a greenhouse they should be kept under 40% shade cloth at most. They should be grown in soil that is airy and drains well, as they can be a bit sensitive to stem rot. Only water in spring and summer, and preferably water from the bottom only. Do not water directly on top of the plant, as water will get trapped between the compact leaves and cause the plant to rot.
