Green Pearl Succulent

The Green Pearl Succulent is a variety of Echeveria, a large genus made up of over 150 succulent plants. The genus was first defined in 1828, by Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, who named the grouping in honour of the 18th-century Mexican botanical artist Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy.

Native to Central America and Mexico, Echevaria thrives in arid conditions with little water and warm temperatures. Adapted to the fluctuating day and night temperatures of the desert, Echeverias thrive in direct sun but can also tolerate short periods of frost. The Green Pearl succulent is easily cultivated by removing and growing the offsets (or baby plants) found nestled against the mother rosette.

As with most succulents, the Green Pearl Succulent likes direct sunlight and dry conditions. Their colours will become more vibrant if kept in direct sunshine, but they can tolerate indirect light too. Wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering and avoid getting water on its leaves which can cause them to rot.

Echeverias are native to mountainous terrain across Central & South America where they grow in rock faces an in gaps on cliff edges at an elevation of 300 to 1,200 metres.

If ingested this plant can be toxic or poisonous so keep away from dogs, cats or other pets and small children.
