About ECHEVERIA MADIBA
ECHEVERIA MADIBA is one of the most distinctive succulents in the Crassulaceae family. Its origin is in Mexico and Central America. It is characterized by perfectly symmetrical and structured rosettes, an evolutionary adaptation that makes it a unique piece in the world of succulents.
At Succulentae we grow every ECHEVERIA MADIBA directly in our nursery in southeastern Spain, in conditions of intense sun, low humidity and mineral substrate that replicate its natural habitat. It's the difference between a succulent grown under real sun and a greenhouse one — and it shows in shape, color and longevity.
