Echeveria Royal Chrysanthemum variegata
The plant likes a sunny location. The plant can be grown outdoors in summer.
Always water a few days after the substrate has dried out. Reduce watering in winter.
It can withstand temperatures as low as -3.9 °C for short periods. However, the plant is not frost-resistant.
Variegated succulents are more sensitive to strong sunlight—their light-colored parts can burn more easily, so it is best to give them filtered light or gradually acclimatize them.
Echeveria Royal Chrysanthemum variegata is a variegated echeveria cultivar grown mainly for its exceptionally delicate coloration and densely layered rosette. Its exact origin is not clearly known. It is a collector’s plant valued primarily for the appearance of its leaves.
The leaves are broad, fleshy, and gently curved, arranged in a dense, regular rosette. The base color is light, ranging from silvery green to milky green, complemented by irregular creamy variegation. Lower, older leaves naturally dry out over time. The plant forms a compact, stemless rosette.
Flowers may appear on longer flower stalks emerging from the rosette. They have a typical appearance for the genus Echeveria.
Echeveria Royal Chrysanthemum variegata requires a well-draining substrate and a bright position. Watering should be moderate and only after the substrate has dried out. It is a very decorative and less common succulent that will appeal to growers looking for a softly colored, calm, and elegant echeveria for their collection.
