Echeveria macrophylla
Echeveria macrophylla is a robust and large scale plant similar to
Echeveria 'Captain Nemo'
. Burgundy toned foliage overlaid with lots of 'bloom', the waxy protective coating common to many succulents.

Ultimate size is over 25cm across, with the flower stalk reaching about 20cm tall. Best conditions are bright light, fast draining soil. Propagation is best done by leaf cuttings; as the leaves are so huge they should be rooted in a flat, not individual pots. Best uses are as a specimen planted singly as an incredible accent to the rest of your collection. Due to its size and sheer weight, put this in a heavy pot to stabilize it if you're displaying it outdoors on a deck or patio, just in case of a wind storm - the fleshy leaves are easily bruised or damaged.
