Echeveria 'Red Queen' is a stunning Korean hybrid succulent that stands out for its dramatic color transitions and compact growth. This variety forms a nearly symmetrical rosette with thick, fleshy leaves that start as a soft pastel light green adorned with pink highlights at the tips. As the plant matures, the green shades fade to a gentle yellow, almost white, before transitioning to light pink. The leaf tips and margins intensify to a striking bright red, offering a visual feast of colors through the seasons.
The plant's petite size, reaching up to 9 cm in diameter, makes it an ideal choice for small spaces such as windowsills or desktops. It thrives in full sun, which enhances the vividness of its leaf colors, making it a perfect candidate for sunny spots in gardens or balconies. The Echeveria 'Red Queen' is coated with a delicate layer of white powdery farina, which not only contributes to its irresistible charm but also serves as a protective barrier against the sun's harsh rays.
Caring for the Echeveria 'Red Queen' is straightforward, making it a suitable choice for both novice and experienced succulent enthusiasts. It requires well-draining soil and should be watered sparingly, only when the soil has completely dried out, to prevent root rot. This hardy plant doesn't demand frequent repotting, which suits those looking for low-maintenance yet visually appealing succulents.
Whether used as a standalone plant or as part of a succulent collection, Echeveria 'Red Queen' offers year-round interest with its dynamic color changes and charming appearance. Its easy care and beautiful form make it a delightful addition to any plant assortment.
