About ECHEVERIA SECUNDA GLAUCA
ECHEVERIA SECUNDA GLAUCA, of the Crassulaceae family, originates in Mexico and Central America and has spread to home cultivation thanks to its beauty and resilience. Its most distinctive feature is perfectly symmetrical and structured rosettes, a trait that makes it unmistakable even among advanced collectors.
We grow ECHEVERIA SECUNDA GLAUCA at Succulentae, in the heart of the Almería desert, where the dry Mediterranean climate replicates the ideal conditions for the plant to develop its compact form and best coloration. It's the difference between a succulent grown under real sun and a greenhouse one — and it shows in shape, color and longevity.
