Echeveria agavoides 'Frank Reinelt' captures the essence of the captivating succulent world with its vibrant hues and intricate design. A hybrid creation by Frank Reinelt, its parentage lies in the crossing of Echeveria agavoides 'Prolifera' and Echeveria colorata, drawing robustness and beauty from both.
This splendid cultivar is distinguishable by its large rosettes of fleshy, dark green leaves that boast an entrancing touch of red at the margins and tips. When fully grown, these rosettes can reach an impressive diameter of up to 20 cm. They're notable for their dense clumping growth habit, creating a visual spectacle that enhances any succulent collection or garden.

This Echeveria's flowers are another highlight. They bloom in spring, presenting an elegant display of urn-shaped flowers that are pink on the outside and a vivid orange inside. These clusters gracefully arch on slender stalks, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this already fascinating plant.
In terms of care, Echeveria agavoides 'Frank Reinelt' is a relatively low-maintenance plant. It thrives in bright, direct sunlight and well-draining soil, just like its native habitat in Mexico. Watering should be done sparingly, making sure the soil is thoroughly dry between sessions. This makes the plant an excellent choice for those new to succulent cultivation or those with a tendency to occasionally forget to water their plants.
