Echeveria pulidonis 'Christmas Bumps', a notable cultivar, captures attention with its robust, green leaves, embellished by striking dark red margins. This juxtaposition of classic Christmas colours lends a unique aesthetic to this succulent, with the contrast enhancing the subtle waviness of the leaf edges.
The most distinctive characteristic of 'Christmas Bumps' is, as its name suggests, the bumps that surface on its leaves as the plant ages. Younger plants may not exhibit these features, but rest assured they will form over time, particularly under conditions of limited water. These bumps are more than just eye-catching ornamentation; they're testament to the plant's natural survival mechanism, allowing it to store water during periods of drought.
Though it enjoys basking in full to partial sunlight, the 'Christmas Bumps' is notably unfussy about its environment. Nonetheless, it flourishes best in a well-draining, gritty growing medium that can dry out quickly between waterings. This soil preference isn't just for the plant's overall well-being, but is vital in promoting the development of large and attractive bumps on its leaves. The 'soak and dry' method of watering, which entails allowing the plant to dry completely between waterings, will aid in fostering the most impressive plants.
Growing up to 15 cm in diameter, Echeveria pulidonis 'Christmas Bumps' is an intriguing addition to any collection, offering both visual appeal and a fascinating glimpse into the resilience of nature. Though it may require a bit of patience to see its namesake bumps fully develop, the spectacle is well worth the wait.
