Echeveria 'Purple Pearl'
Echeveria 'Purple Pearl' is a stunning succulent plant that boasts rich, deep purple foliage that intensifies in bright light. This cultivar is a tissue culture release of Echeveria 'Perle von Nürnberg', a well-known hybrid created in 1930 by Alfred Craser from E. gibbiflora metalica X E. potasina (now E. elegans). Echeveria 'Purple Pearl' has the same shape and size as its parent, with slightly rounded and pointed fleshy leaves that can grow up to 8cm in diameter.
During summer, this beautiful plant sends out pink flowers on spikes up to 30cm tall, which complement the purple color of the rosette beautifully. Echeveria 'Purple Pearl' can be a great addition to your succulent collection or indoor planter, adding a pop of vibrant color to any space.
When it comes to care, Echeveria 'Purple Pearl' is a relatively low-maintenance plant. It requires well-draining soil designed for succulents and should be potted in a container that can accommodate its size. A small amount of slow-release fertilizer applied every 5-6 months will cover the growing season, and a bit of Dolomite lime can be added for good health and minerals.
In terms of threats and pests, this plant is susceptible to the usual suspects for Echeveria, such as aphids and mealybugs, which can be treated with appropriate chemical solutions. Echeveria 'Purple Pearl' is also somewhat frost-tender, so it's best to plant it in frost-free areas or areas that are sheltered from harsh winter weather.
Overall, Echeveria 'Purple Pearl' is a gorgeous plant that adds a touch of elegance to any space. Its unique and captivating purple coloration makes it a popular choice for succulent enthusiasts, and its relatively easy care requirements make it an excellent option for beginners as well.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
