Origin: 'Can Can' is the result of horticultural selection and hybridization to create succulents with unique characteristics in terms of color, shape and leaf size. Echeverias are native to the semi-desert regions of Mexico, Central America and northern South America.
Growth: This variety has a moderate growth habit and forms compact rosettes. Over time, 'Can Can' can produce shoots around the main plant, forming a larger group.
Flowers: Echeveria 'Can Can' can produce upright flowering stems, bearing bell-shaped flowers, typically pink, red or orange, depending on the specific variety. Flowering generally takes place in spring or summer.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate direct sunlight for part of the day, but excessive exposure can cause leaf burn. Adequate lighting is essential to maintain rosette compactness and color vibrancy.
Watering: As with most succulents, moderate watering is necessary. Allow the substrate to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid over-watering to prevent root rot.
Substrate: Well-draining soil is crucial. Use a cactus and succulent mix of potting soil, coarse sand and perlite or gravel.
Temperature: Tolerates a range of temperatures, but must be protected from frost. Warm, dry conditions mimic its natural habitat.
