Echeveria 'Captain Nemo'
Echeveria 'Captain Nemo' has very glaucous and waxy greeny blue leaves which can be 20cm long. This variety was named by Jocelyn Ainsworth of Australia. This is a large scale plant, and not for the faint of heart. Reaching over 35cm across, and up to 30cm high, this is a plant to be reckoned with. The flower stalk can reach 40cm tall, and be as thick as 3cm across.

Best conditions for Echeveria 'Captain Nemo' are bright light especially when blooming to prevent stretching of the bloom spray.

Propagate by leaf cuttings, which are slow to root and huge, so take special techniques for successfully growing them. Put the leaves on top of the surface of a flat until rooted, not in individual pots.Grow this variety as a specimen plant in a large pot for best effect. Those that see it will wonder what on earth it is! Price is $6.00 for a rooted cutting or bare root plantlet. Sorry, not available for 2010.
