Echeveria ‘Crispate beauty’ Ø 14

A true masterpiece of botanical breeding, this cultivar ranks among the most coveted and spectacular succulents worldwide. Its rosettes are geometrically flawless, bearing thick, fleshy leaves coated with a dense bluish-white farina that gives a soft, moonlit sheen. What sets it apart is the leaf margin: heavily crisped, frilled, and undulating, producing a striking three-dimensional, almost sculptural effect.

Exposure: thrives in bright light, preferably filtered or with a few hours of morning sun. Tolerates full sun, but in hot climates, afternoon shade helps preserve the delicate farina.

Watering: water only when the soil is completely dry. In winter, reduce to a minimum (once a month or even less). Overwatering is fatal – this is a strict rule for all Echeverias.

Soil: requires a well‑draining, low‑organic mix. A cactus blend with 50–60% perlite or pumice is ideal.

Fertilizing: from spring to summer, apply a low‑nitrogen liquid succulent fertilizer at half strength every 20–25 days.

Blooming: in late spring, it sends up slender stalks bearing small bell‑shaped flowers in orange‑red or yellow, creating a beautiful contrast with the blue‑grey rosette.

Botanical note: the powdery farina is a natural wax that protects against intense light and moisture loss. Touching it leaves permanent fingerprints – so it’s best admired hands‑off.

Botanically rare, robust, and exceptionally decorative, this Echeveria is perfect for bright interiors, conservatories, or rock gardens. Minimal care, maximum visual impact.
