Mini Echeveria Ben Badis

Description

• Echeveria Ben Badis is a cute, small growing succulent with green-blue leaves that turn red around the edges and the back in winter/ when stressed.
• The leaves are short and rounded with a pointy tip, creating a compact growth to approximately 15 cm in diameter.
• Echeveria Ben Badis has a clumping habit with new rosettes appearing at the base and through the rosette, creating a cluster.
• As with many Echeverias, Echeveria Ben Badis changes colours with seasons and is mainly green in the warmer months.

Position and Care

• Echeveria Ben Badis prefers partly shaded position or filtered light in summer months when the sun can be strong and burn the foliage. In late autumn/winter/early spring, it will happily grow in full sun which will enhance the red edges.
• This plant might burn during summer heatwaves and will benefit from the protection of a shade-cloth.
• Plants established in the ground are very hardy and only need to be watered in extended periods of dry weather.
• Pot plants need to be watered more often although ensure the soil is dry before watering again.
