Echeveria 'Red Gilva' is a captivating hybrid succulent, born from the union of Echeveria elegans and Echeveria agavoides. This rare and highly sought-after plant stands out from its cousin, Echeveria 'Gilva', with its unique ability to turn maroon easily and transform into vivid red when fully stressed.
The 'Red Gilva' forms a compact rosette that features a green center with pink to red edges. Its visual appeal lies in its dynamic color palette, which shifts throughout the seasons. Depending on various stress factors, this succulent reveals shades of green, pink, red, orange, and yellow. Its most dramatic transformation occurs during winter when it is exposed to cold stress, resulting in striking red and orange hues.
For optimal growth, Echeveria 'Red Gilva' thrives in full sun, which enhances its vibrant colors. It is recommended to water this plant from the bottom, as it can be sensitive to overhead watering. Ensuring no water is left in the crown of the plant is crucial to prevent rot.
This stunning succulent not only adds aesthetic value to any collection but also serves as a testament to the beauty of hybridization in the succulent world. Its ever-changing colors make it a living piece of art, perfect for succulent enthusiasts who appreciate the intricate beauty and resilience of these remarkable plants.
