Echeveria Serena
Echeveria Serena evokes softness and elegance, with its pastel tones and perfectly symmetrical rosette shape. This is a recent variety that charms with its subtle coloration ranging from seafoam green to pearly pink, all dusted with a light farina that gives it a powdery, almost unreal effect. Ideal for enhancing a collection or as a centerpiece in an individual pot.
Its delicate appearance should not be misleading: Echeveria Serena is robust and easy to care for. It grows slowly but steadily, without requiring complex maintenance, making it a wise choice for succulent lovers, whether beginners or enthusiasts. Its ability to change color depending on exposure and temperature adds to its appeal.
Compact, non-invasive, and always graceful, Echeveria Serena is a discreet star in the world of succulents.
Adapted to pot cultivation as well as dry rock gardens, it maintains a low, rounded and harmonious shape.
🌞 Essential bright light: Direct sun 4 to 6 hours per day, especially in the morning or late afternoon.
🌤️ Summer protection: Slight shading during heatwaves prevents burns on the pale leaves.
💡 Too little light makes Echeveria Serena dull green and elongates its leaves.
