Echeveria Cleopatra
Impossible to overlook Echeveria Cleopatra: this royal succulent draws every eye. Its perfect rosette, thick pastel-toned leaves, and natural elegance make it one of the most sought-after varieties among lovers of graphic plants.
Its soft green foliage, sometimes dusted with cream and edged with a pink margin, evokes the colors of a sunrise. It flourishes into a compact rosette reaching up to 20 cm in diameter. Perfectly balanced in both shape and color, this plant fits beautifully in a single pot or a more elaborate arrangement.
It is a non-natural cultivar, created through hybridization for its exceptional aesthetic qualities. Easy to grow, resilient, and undemanding, it suits beginners and enthusiasts alike.
Resulting from a cross between several Echeveria species, probably including Echeveria Agavoides and Echeveria Shaviana, Echeveria Cleopatra was selected for its harmonious growth habit and delicate coloration.
