Echeveria 'Robin' is a compact, slow-growing succulent hybrid between Echeveria vincent catto and Echeveria laui, combining the best traits of both parents. It forms small, symmetrical rosettes of thick, round leaves with a powdery white coating and a distinctive red margin that intensifies in cooler temperatures and bright light. The soft pastel tones and refined shape make it an eye-catching feature for succulent bowls, containers, and small-scale arrangements.
Each rosette typically stays under 10 cm across, making ‘Robin’ a tidy, space-efficient choice for growers who appreciate subtle colour shifts and graceful form. Its glaucous coating—characteristic of Echeveria laui—helps protect the plant from intense sun while enhancing its frosty, almost luminous appearance.
In bloom, Echeveria 'Robin' produces slender stalks with delicate, bell-shaped flowers in shades of pink to reddish-orange, providing seasonal contrast to the cool-toned foliage. This hybrid thrives in full sun to partial shade, especially with several hours of direct morning light. In hotter parts of Australia, some afternoon shade is beneficial to prevent sun scorch.
As with most succulents, allow the soil to dry completely between waterings and plant in a free-draining mix to promote healthy root development. Echeveria 'Robin' is a standout for collectors and succulent enthusiasts looking for compact beauty, elegant colouration, and low-maintenance care.
