35 Amazing Types Of Echeveria For Your Garden

Echeveria Orion

Unless you’re an avid gardener or plant collector, you probably don’t know much about the many different types of Echeveria that exist.

Echeveria, also known as hen and chicks or hens and chicks, are becoming increasingly popular as houseplants due to their low-maintenance requirements and striking appearance.

They are in the Crassulaceae family, along with other succulents such as jade plants and aloe plants. It can be difficult to identify individual Echeveria species based on visual features alone, but knowing the most common types of Echeveria can help you differentiate between similar species that you encounter.

Echeverias are incredibly easy to care for succulents that have beautiful, long-lasting flowers that make them popular additions to any succulent garden.

Below are 30 of the most popular types of echeveria you need to know about and how to care for them properly. As with any houseplant, always check with your local nursery or horticulturalists to see if they are appropriate for your growing conditions!

Propagating different types of echeveria

Echeveria can be propagated from offsets, leaves, or stem cuttings. To propagate from an offset, remove it from the mother plant with a sharp knife or scissors. Allow the offset to callous over for a few days before potting it up in well-draining soil. Water the offset sparingly until new growth appears.

For leaf propagation, place a leaf in well-draining soil and water it sparingly until new growth appears. The easiest way to propagate echeveria is by taking stem cuttings. Cut a healthy branch from the echeveria using a sharp knife or shears.

Make sure that you are taking a branch that has at least three sets of leaves on it and stripping off any damaged parts of the plant’s skin (usually caused by bugs). Insert the cutting into moist rooting media and cover lightly with more moist rooting media.

Some people use rooting hormones to increase the likelihood of success. Keep the cutting in bright light but out of direct sunlight while waiting for roots to form. Once new roots have formed and developed 2 to 3 nodes, transplant them into their own container with well-drained soil.

Caring for echeveria

types of Echeveria

Though echeveria is considered low-maintenance, they still need some TLC to stay healthy and look their best. Remember that each type of echeveria will have its own particular needs. Here is a list of what you need to know about the most popular types of echeveria.

Light requirement

All echeveria need bright light, but some can tolerate low-light situations better than others. If you’re not sure how much light your plant needs, check the packaging or ask the nursery where you bought it. The amount of light your plant gets will affect its growth rate and how often you’ll need to water it.

Soil/potting mix

Cactus and succulent soil mix are ideal for planting echeveria. The mix should be well-draining to prevent the roots from rotting. A good ratio to use is two parts cactus mix to one part perlite or pumice. If you cannot find a cactus mix, you can make your own by mixing together equal parts potting soil, coarse sand, and perlite or pumice.

Watering

As with most succulents, echeverias are drought tolerant plants that don’t need a lot of water to survive. In fact, too much water can be detrimental to their health, causing them to rot or develop fungal diseases.

When watering your echeveria, make sure the soil is completely dry before giving them a good soak. Allow the water to drain completely before putting them back in their pot or planting them in the ground.

Fertilizing

Echeverias are not heavy feeders, so you don’t need to fertilize them very often. A general rule of thumb is to fertilize once a month during the growing season and every other month during the winter. If you notice your plant starting to look pale or unhealthy, you can give it a little boost with a half-strength fertilizer solution. Just be sure not to overdo it, as too much fertilizer can burn the roots and damage the plant.

Humidity and temperature

Both humidity and temperature play a big role in the health of your echeveria. If the air is too dry, the leaves will start to shrivel and drop off. If the temperature drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the plant will go into shock and may die. The ideal temperature for echeverias is between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, and between 55 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit at night.

The ideal humidity range is 30-50% during the day and 10-30% at night. In order to achieve this, it’s important to use room humidifiers or humidify the room with a shower.
One way to tell if you have given your echeveria enough water is by looking at its foliage.

When they are healthy, they should be green and firm; if they turn yellow or wilt, it means that they need more water.

Pruning

When it comes to pruning your echeveria, the most important thing to remember is not to remove more than one-third of the plant at a time. This will help prevent shock and encourage new growth.

Always use clean, sharp pruners to make clean cuts. Make sure to disinfect your pruners between cuts to avoid spreading disease. Never remove leaves or flowers, as these are necessary for photosynthesis. If you don’t want the hassle of cutting back your plants, simply take cuttings from them instead!

Echeveria agavoides

Echeveria agavoides

A native of Mexico, the Echeveria agavoides is a beautiful succulent that grows in the shape of a rosette. The leaves are green with red tips and can reach up to eight inches in length.

This type of echeveria is drought-tolerant and does best in full sun to partial shade. When mature, the plant produces yellow flowers. They do well in containers as well as planted directly into the ground.

The main difficulty with this variety is that it needs to be re-potted every two years because its roots will eventually become crowded or entangled. However, this is easy to do by trimming off the outer leaves first and then cutting away the central rosette. It’s also important not to overwater, especially during winter months when plants need less water due to cooler temperatures.

After re-potting your echeveria agavoides make sure you leave about an inch between the soil and pot for proper drainage. Place it in a sunny spot outdoors or bring it inside during the winter months if desired.

They do well as patio plants or landscape plants but need soil that drains well and plenty of direct sunlight. Keep the soil moist at all times, but don’t overwater this type of echeveria because it needs lots of air circulation to prevent rot from occurring on the roots. Pinch off any brown tips on the leaves if they appear, which signals too much water.

Avoid using over-fertilizers because it could cause rot on the roots. It grows about 8 in diameter with narrow leaves, making it look somewhat like a rosette. It thrives when planted outdoors or in pots where there is good drainage and sun exposure. Its also important not to overwater it as this will kill them.

When you water your plant, don’t overwater it or let the soil get soggy. Watering this type of echeveria regularly will help ensure maximum growth potential and discourage rot or fungus.

Keep an eye out for aphids and whiteflies as well. If they show up on your plant, use neem oil spray every three days until they’re gone. Aphids tend to attack the new shoots of plants and whiteflies love sucking the sap from leaves.

Echeveria ‘Vera Higgins’

Echeveria ‘Vera Higgins'

Another type of echeveria that’s worth mentioning is the ‘Vera Higgins’ variety. Vera Higgins features red leaf tips and margins that make it stand out. What’s more, unlike other types of echeveria, this one produces offsets which means you’ll be able to propagate new plants through stem cuttings.

It has a reputation for being difficult to grow, but if you take care of it properly, it will flourish. These plants thrive in shade or part shade so long as they have good drainage. If you want your plant to look vibrant, then give it plenty of water but don’t let the soil get too wet or dry out completely.

You should also fertilize it monthly during the summer months and every other month during the winter months. When the plant needs to be repotted, make sure that you use potting mix specifically made for cacti and succulents.

Echeveria harmsii (Red Echeveria)

Echeveria harmsii

A beautiful red echeveria that’s perfect for adding a splash of color to your succulent collection. This variety is native to Mexico and can grow up to 12 inches tall.

Both types thrive with little water, but they do need more light than most other succulents. If overwatered, it will turn brown and die off quickly.

The cylindrical type is best suited for dish gardens because its leaves get taller than the rosette form when they mature. It also needs more water than the rosette form. The downside to this variety is that it doesn’t handle cold temperatures well, so be sure to bring it indoors if there’s any chance of freezing weather.

They’re one of the easiest plants to propagate – just cut off one or two leaves and place them on top of potting soil. Keep watered until roots develop. You’ll have a new plant within six weeks!
