Echeveria 'Sarahime Botan', a captivating Japanese hybrid, is a visual delight, transforming throughout the seasons to create a continually evolving spectacle. A result of the cross between Echeveria cuspidata var. zaragozae and Echeveria halbingeri, this succulent hosts compact rosettes spanning approximately 10 cm in diameter. Its leaves, a charming blue-green with a dusting of fine powder, bear distinctive pink to purple tips.
In response to stressful conditions, the 'Sarahime Botan' reveals its dynamic nature. The outer leaves transition into a royal purple, beginning from the top. This transformation, in combination with the plant's natural bluish-green, creates an enchanting contrast.
To enhance its beauty, the succulent produces small, bell-shaped clusters of flowers during spring. Exhibiting an attractive pinkish-red exterior with a warm orange core, these floral clusters dangle from gracefully arching stalks.
Growing Echeveria 'Sarahime Botan' requires a bright environment, which can be achieved with full to partial sunlight. Its soil needs are straightforward - a mix that facilitates quick drainage to prevent waterlogging. The plant's watering regimen follows the 'soak and dry' method, implying thorough watering followed by a dry spell, especially during winter.
Echeveria 'Sarahime Botan' is a resilient plant that can thrive in high temperatures as long as fresh air is plentiful. Despite its hardiness, it is susceptible to freezing temperatures and must be moved indoors in cold seasons.
