Echevira Bloomer

These rosette forming succulents have spectacular flowers that would make you think they need a lot of special care, but these plants actually thrive on a bit of neglect.

Caring for echeveria is a task made for those gardeners with brown thumbs – they are that easy to grow!

• After a few years, lower leaves may drop, causing the plant to lose its tight, compact shape. You can easily propagate them by snapping off a healthy leaf, letting it callus for a few days, and placing it on top of moist soil.
• The family includes a number of widely grown ornamental perennials. Crassula, with about 200 species, includes the commonly cultivated jade plant, which is native to South Africa.
• Surprisingly, some species of Crassula have evolved into aquatic plants.
