Introducing the Echeveria dusty rose, which is a vibrant member of the Echeveria, native to Mexico! With lovely orange, coral pink, and bell-shaped dusty rose flowers that bloom from the late spring to early summer, this cactus plant is sure to be a hit with both experienced gardeners and beginners alike.
This dusty rose succulent is an absolute stunner with its fast-growing rosettes of powdery violet leaves. Plus, the powder on the leaves is known as 'farina,' and it gives the plant an iridescent glow and allows it to tolerate full sun conditions and become even more intense and vibrant. Its leaves are margined with pink, giving it such an elegant touch. But that's not all – this plant offsets freely and forms these attractive clusters that can grow up to a whopping 8 inches in diameter over time.
The dust rose succulent is also easy to care for and only requires minimal watering as well as full sun to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours daily. These plants thrive in sandy, well-drained soil and can grow outdoors in USDA zones 10-11. So, you should choose the right soil for your dusty rose with extreme caution, as too much water can cause root and stem rot.
Echeveria succulents are susceptible to mealy bugs, so remove any dead leaves from the bottom as the plant matures. Pests thrive in these dead leaves. It can be easily propagated by seed or leaf cuttings.16.50
