Echeveria 'Tippy'
 
What a delightful and easy-growing miniature cultivar. Small compact rosettes of pointy grey-white leaves. This cute little plant was bred by Dick Wright from California back in 1968. This plant works well and looks well when planted as fillers in gaps of the Echeveria or succulent garden.
 
Plant size: Well established and nearly full-grown plants, grown in 7 cm pots are offered.
 
About Echeveria
Echeveria is a large genus of easy-growing, leaf-succulent plants, ranging from small compact and tiny plants to larger species with a stemmed or even shrubby habit. There is an array of leaf colour, shapes and sizes making them very attractive container and garden plants. It is a widespread genus, but is mainly found in Mexico (also found in Central America and South America).

Caring for your Echeveria
 
Pot: Echeveria does very well in containers or in the garden or rockery. They do well and look good planted in containers mixed with other succulent plants.
 
Soil: The plants are very willing and can adapt to most soils, a well-drained growing medium with some organic matter works best.
 
Light: The brighter the light the more colourful your plant will be. Although Echeveria will grow  indoors, they prefer bright light conditions and should be keft close to a bright window.
 
Water: Echeveria are drought hardy plants when well established, but they will grow their best with weekly watering, depending on your growing conditions.
