Echeveria pulvinata 'Ruby' Crest is a striking and rare crested variety of the beloved Echeveria pulvinata 'Ruby', also known as the Chenille Plant or Plush Plant. This cultivar hails from the mountainous terrains of Oaxaca, Mexico, where its velvety foliage has evolved to thrive in rocky, well-drained environments. The crested form exhibits unique, undulating growth patterns, with densely clustered rosettes forming intricate ridges and fans. These structural variations make it a standout addition to any succulent collection.
The leaves of Echeveria pulvinata 'Ruby' Crest are coated in a layer of fine, silvery-white hairs, giving them a plush, tactile quality. The foliage is a vibrant green, accented by ruby-red tips that intensify with cooler temperatures or increased sunlight exposure. This dynamic interplay of colour and texture creates a visual spectacle, further enhanced by the plant’s orange, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in late autumn to winter, adding a pop of warmth to its cool-toned palette.
Caring for this crested variety requires well-draining, gritty soil and careful watering to prevent root rot. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and provide bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth. While it tolerates mild frost, protect it from prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures. During its winter dormancy, water sparingly to maintain its health.
Non-toxic and easy to grow, Echeveria pulvinata 'Ruby' Crest is a rare and fascinating succulent that combines sculptural beauty with the velvety charm of its parent species.
