Introducing the stunning Echeveria 'Miranda', a member of the Echeveria genus. Despite being marketed as a cultivar of Echeveria agavoides, Echeveria 'Miranda' actually is a hybrid succulent. Due to the fact that its flowers are distinct from those of other recognized cultivars of Echeveria agavoides, it is not one of them.  

Hailing from Central America, this gorgeous echeveria succulent grows in compact rosettes with mid-matt-green fleshy leaves that have lovely reddish-pink markings on the tips and margins.

This Miranda plant can grow up to 20 inches in length and is sure to stand out in any garden, adding a touch of exotic beauty to your outdoor oasis.

When it comes to flowering, this Echeveria is a polycarpic plant. This means it may bloom several times during its lifetime.

The bell-shaped flowers have petals that are pinkish-red with dark yellow tips.  

The Echeveria 'Miranda' is extremely low-maintenance, and it can be propagated through leaf cuttings that require very little care from you.

Whether you're an experienced gardener or just starting out, this plant is perfect for anyone who wants a gorgeous addition to their collection without all the fuss. 

Watering Needs 

Determining the right time to water your Echeveria 'Miranda' is a breeze. All you have to do is give their soil a gentle poke - if it's completely dry and crumbly, then it's time for some hydration action! Or maybe you notice those little leaves starting to look a bit wrinkled or shrunken? That means they're thirsty!   

Keep your echeveria slightly moist spring through fall and should reduce in winter. And don't worry about going easy with the watering - go ahead and give them a nice good drink until water drips off from the bottom of their pot. 

Light Requirements 

When growing your Echeveria Miranda indoors, it requires bright, indirect sunlight for at least six hours a day to thrive. So, find a location near a south-facing window or invest in a grow light to ensure it receives the necessary light intensity.

For outdoor cultivation, your Echeveria Miranda requires a lot of light and should be grown in either full sun or partial shade. New plants can get burned and the leaves can turn brown or red in direct sunlight, this is because these echeveria succulent leaves are adapted to store water, which makes them more susceptible to sunburn.  Therefore, gradually increase their exposure to sunlight.  

If the sun is too bright and is burning your plant's leaves, consider purchasing a sunshade or moving the plant to a more shaded location. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

This echeveria succulent favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized potting mix that contains mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive.  

When it comes to fertilizing, remember that less is more. A small amount of fertilizer once a year with an equal mixture of NPK (5-10-5) in spring will do wonders for your plant's health and growth. Using a natural fertilizer ensures that other beneficial compounds and microbes are added to the soil, without the use of harsh chemicals. Show your succulent some love with awesome natural fertilizer and watch it thrive.
