About Echeveria Tolimanensis
Echeveria Tolimanensis is one of the most distinctive succulents in the Crassulaceae family. Its origin is in Mexico and Central America. The most striking thing about this plant is perfectly symmetrical and structured rosettes, a feature that defines its personality and sets it apart within its genus.
At Succulentae we produce Echeveria Tolimanensis with artisanal technique in southeastern Spain, following a cultivation protocol that replicates the sun, dryness and mineral conditions of its native habitat. It's the difference between a succulent grown under real sun and a greenhouse one — and it shows in shape, color and longevity.
