Echeveria shaviana

Frilly; Ruffled; Ladylike

Echeveria shaviana has pale powder blue foliage with very crinkly edges. It's used by hybridizers to contribute this feature to its offspring, sometimes with striking results; in other efforts, a surprise.

Size is up to 15cm (6-7") across, but slow to achieve that size.

Preferred conditions are bright light with well drained soil.

Propagate by leaf cuttings or from offsets produced when the long bare stem of an old rosette is beheaded.

Cut the baby offsets with a razor blade, and handle carefully so all the loosely attached leaves don't fall off.

Use Echeveria shaviana as an accent planted singly in a collection, or in a group container to show off the myriad variations of colour and form in Echeveria.
