United StatesEcheveria PVN beautiful color
I purchased this plant 3 years ago. I re-potted after a year and a half of growth, as it got a bit leggy, into a larger and deeper pot. It is doing great in my outdoor patio area, getting medium shaded sunlight exposure in a Zone 9 location. The color of the leaves are so pleasing to look at.
United StatesGave it a go
The experience was great as I’ve purchased many times with this company. I waited to review but I’ve never had luck with this type. It was more pinkish which is slowly going away. Will need to figure out why this happens.
