Echeveria 'Mebina'

Echeveria 'Mebina' Growth Habits

It likes warm, dry and well-ventilated environments, and likes light. It is drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant and tolerant of partial shade, but not tolerant of harsh sun exposure. In summer, when temperatures are high, it goes dormant or semi-dormant.

Echeveria 'Mebina' Care Tips

Light: Echeveria 'Mebina' only shows its pink colour under strong light and a large temperature difference; under weak light, the leaves turn green. Echeveria 'Mebina' is a miniature variety and does not grow very large. After forming clusters over many years, the plant becomes very spectacular, especially in ample sunlight, when it turns a sheet of pink.

Water and temperature: The suitable growing temperature is 15-25°C, and in winter it should not go below 5°C. When grown outdoors, once the temperature rises above 35°C, move it to bright, indirect light and gradually cut back on watering. During the whole summer dormant period, give little or no water; by mid-September, when the temperature drops, start watering again.

Echeveria 'Mebina' Propagation Methods

Its mini, delicate size plus its pink tones in spring and autumn make it very appealing. It is very suitable for small mixed planters, and it grows faster than other Echeveria species. You can also try letting the stems become woody and then growing it alone as a specimen; it clusters very quickly!

Both leaf cuttings and stem cuttings work, and leaf cuttings are very easy to succeed with.
