About Echeveria Agavoide
Known in botany as Echeveria Agavoide, this succulent belongs to the Crassulaceae family and comes from 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 Agavoide directly in our nursery in southeastern Spain, in conditions of intense sun, low humidity and mineral substrate that replicate its natural habitat. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
