Echeveria purpusorum

Echeveria purpusorum

Echeveria purpusorum is a small succulent plant that forms a compact, usually single rosette of deep olive-green, leaves. The leaves are mottled with small irregular reddish-brown spots and have an iridescent nature to them. The plant grows slowly, reaching up to 3.2 inches (8 cm) in height and diameter, and can occasionally produce a few babies.

Light: They need lots of light—the brightest spot you have inside. Unfortunately, echeveria, like many succulent types, don’t do well in low light situations.

Water: These textural plants do have low-water needs, whether you grow them indoors or out. Water as the top several inches of the potting mix dries to the touch.
