Echeveria Longissima x Raindrops

Echeveria ‘Longissima x Raindrops’ is a distinctive hybrid combining the elongated, graceful foliage of Echeveria longissima with the unusual raised leaf caruncles of Echeveria ‘Raindrops’. The rosette is compact and symmetrical, with thick, fleshy leaves in a blue-green hue. Mature foliage develops the characteristic “raindrops” near the tips—small, rounded bumps formed by a genetic mutation that also aid in water storage.

Under bright sunlight or in cooler weather, the leaf margins and tips often flush with red or pink, intensifying with reduced watering, winter conditions, or other environmental stress. In optimal conditions, plants grow to around 10 cm high and up to 25 cm across, making them well suited to containers, courtyard displays, or rock gardens.

In late spring to summer, this hybrid produces slender, upright inflorescences bearing clusters of bell-shaped flowers in warm coral to orange-red tones. Its parent species, E. longissima, is native to highland regions of Mexico, giving this hybrid an inherent tolerance for bright light and dry conditions.

For best results, plant in a sharply draining succulent mix, such as one containing coarse sand, perlite, or pumice. Position in full sun to part shade, ensuring at least several hours of direct light daily to maintain compact growth and strong colour. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. Protect from frost, as temperatures below about 4 °C may damage the foliage. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, responding well to occasional fertilising during the active growing season.
