Echeveria Chroma
Echeveria 'Chroma' is a beautiful and unique succulent that is sure to catch the eye. This shrubby plant forms attractive rosettes that exhibit seasonal variegation in various colors, including pink, apricot, gold, red rose, and near white. Its dark variegated leaves can take on hues of blue, purple, pink, orange, or even metallic brown, depending on the amount of light it receives. The rosettes grow up to 10 cm in diameter, while the plant itself can reach up to 15 cm tall, quickly branching to form a much-branched plant.
Echeveria 'Chroma' is an Altman Plants original hybrid of unknown parentage. It produces bell-shaped flowers that are yellow on the inside and orange to pinkish-red with yellow tips on the outside. These flowers appear on tall leafy stalks in spring, making for a lovely display. In addition to its visual appeal, this plant is generally non-toxic to people and pets, and its flowers can attract hummingbirds.
To care for Echeveria 'Chroma', you should provide it with typical watering needs for a succulent, using the “soak and dry” method and allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. It does well in full to partial sun and should be planted in an area of your garden that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. If you live in a zone that gets colder than -1.1°C, it's best to plant this succulent in a container that can be brought indoors under a grow light, as it is not cold hardy.
Propagation of Echeveria 'Chroma' is easy and can be done by cuttings, leaves, and offsets. To grow from cuttings, use a sterile, sharp knife or pair of scissors to remove a stem from the main plant, and allow it to callous for several days before placing it on well-draining soil. To propagate from leaves, twist a leaf from the mother plant, ensuring that none of the leaf remains on the stem, and allow the leaf to dry out for several days so that the end callouses over before placing it on well-draining soil. For offsets, simply pull these up and allow them to dry for one to two days before replanting.
In conclusion, Echeveria 'Chroma' is a lovely and unique plant that is perfect for succulent arrangements, planters, and rock gardens. Its seasonal variegation and colorful flowers make it a standout addition to any garden.
