What succulent plants are there in the Crassulaceae family, Echeveria genus?

Echeveria is a genus belonging to the Crassulaceae family of succulent plants, mainly distributed in Mexico, the countries of Central America and other regions. Because its propagation is relatively easy, in recent years Echeveria succulents have become increasingly common in cultivation in our country. Today let's talk about the varieties of Crassulaceae Echeveria succulents; flower lovers who like succulents definitely should not miss this.

1. Purple Pearl

Purple Pearl is rather similar to First Love, but Purple Pearl's leaves are slightly thicker. In terms of habits, it likes light, and is normally green or dark green. After autumn arrives, as sunlight hours increase and the temperature difference grows, it turns purple. It does not need much water and likes a well-ventilated environment.

2. Jade Butterfly

Jade Butterfly is native to Hidalgo, Mexico. It likes full sun, so it is very suitable for being grown outdoors all year round, and Jade Butterfly's water needs are not high either. In addition, Jade Butterfly has a brief dormant period in summer. When there is a lack of sunlight and too much water, its leaves will droop, but this does not affect its growth. It can be propagated by leaf cuttings or stem cuttings.

3. Frosty Dawn

Frosty Dawn is relatively easy to grow; both leaf cuttings and stem cuttings can survive, but if it lacks light for a long time it is prone to diseases and death. Frosty Dawn does not need much water. Its leaves have a thick white powder that is very easily rubbed off, and once rubbed off it cannot grow back, so when watering, avoid the leaves and pour along the edge of the pot.

4. Little Silence

Little Silence is a smaller variety within the Echeveria genus. It does not grow very large, but it easily forms clusters. During care, appropriately increasing sunlight hours will make the leaf tips turn red, very cute. It is not heat-tolerant, so shade it in summer. Like other Echeveria types, it does not require much water; during the growing season, watering once every 5 days to 1 week is enough.

5. Hibiscus Snow Lotus

Hibiscus Snow Lotus is a variety hybridized from Snow Lotus. Compared with Snow Lotus, the price of Hibiscus Snow Lotus is also much cheaper. Moreover, Hibiscus Snow Lotus can grow very large. It rather likes sunlight, and once its root system is growing healthily it can be given a bit more water. It is normally white, and after sunlight increases and the temperature difference grows, the whole plant can turn pink.

6. Black Prince

Black Prince is one of the only few black succulent plants. It rather likes sunlight; as sunlight increases it will slowly turn red, and finally turn black, while with insufficient sunlight it is green. It does not need much water and likes loose soil; if there are too many particles in the medium, the bottom leaves easily dry up and fall off. It has a brief dormancy in summer and continues growing in winter.
