Description

Echeveria setosa var. deminuta is an attractive succulent that produces an abundance of new offsets each season. It grows in thick clusters of blue-green, club-shaped leaves. Foliage is covered with white bristles, which turn into tufts on the leaf tips. It is commonly called the Firecracker Plant because of the bright red and yellow flowers. Rosettes grow up to 3 cm in diameter.

Environment

Full sun to filtered shade. Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not over water.

As with all succulents, the most dangerous situation is too much water- they should never be allowed to sit in water under any circumstances.

These decorative little plants can be grown in interesting containers such as tea cups and even miniature baby shoes. Make sure the container had adequate drainage. If it doesn t, it might be a good idea to pop the plant out of its container and add a layer of gravel to the bottom to reduce the wicking action of the soil above.
