Echeveria is a succulent that often readily roots from a single leaf—an excellent way to discreetly expand your collection.
Echeveria purpusorum Green Gilva is a cultivar derived from the species Echeveria purpusorum. It is a compact form grown for its distinctive rosette shape and leaf coloration.
The plant has short, very thick oval leaves that gradually narrow toward the tip and end in a pointed apex. The leaves show an intense olive-green color and are covered with a fine white farina coating. It forms a small, firm rosette that may remain solitary or develop a cluster at the base over time.
It usually flowers in spring. The inflorescence carries red-orange flowers with yellow tips on a stalk.
This cultivar grows best in well-draining soil and does not require fertilizing. It can also be propagated from a leaf, making it a good choice for growers looking for a small Echeveria with strong olive tones.
