The leaves of Echeveria macdougallii are smooth, with slightly reddish leaf margins, and as the plant grows, its stem gradually lengthens. The leaves are arranged in a loose rosette, broadly ovate to triangular-ovate, with the leaf surface slightly raised and keel-shaped, and the leaf tips sharply pointed.

Growth habits of Echeveria macdougallii

Echeveria macdougallii likes a warm, dry, and ventilated environment, likes light, is drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant, and shade-tolerant, and is not tolerant of intense sun exposure. It has no obvious dormant period and is suitable for loose, breathable, water-retaining soil, which can be prepared with a 1:1 ratio of peat soil and granular soil. The leaf color of Echeveria macdougallii remains green to yellow-red year-round. With a large temperature difference between day and night or during low-temperature periods in winter, the leaf margins will turn bright red or deep red. Under weak light, the leaf color becomes light tender green, the leaves also stretch longer, and the red edges of the leaves will fade.
