Echeveria 'Early Sunrise

Echeveria 'Early Sunrise' is an attractive hybrid variety of the Echeveria genus, famous for its compact rosettes and fleshy leaves. This succulent plant is distinguished by its vibrant coloration, which can vary from pale green to golden pink, particularly when exposed to bright light or direct sunlight. The edges of the leaves can also take on more intense hues in sufficient sunlight, adding to its visual appeal.

Origin: Although Echeverias are native to the semi-desert regions of Mexico and Central America, the 'Early Sunrise' variety is the result of a horticultural breeding program aimed at creating plants with specific aesthetic characteristics, such as unique coloration and leaf shape.
Growth: 'Early Sunrise' is moderate-growing and forms dense rosettes that can reach an impressive size in optimal conditions. It can also produce offshoots or "shoots" that emerge from the base of the mother plant, enabling easy propagation.
Flowers: Like other members of the Echeveria genus, 'Early Sunrise' can produce arching flower stalks bearing numerous small, bell-shaped flowers, usually pink or red in color. Flowering often occurs in spring or summer.
Light: Prefers bright light and can benefit from a few hours of direct sun each day. Sufficient light exposure is essential to maintain vibrant leaf coloration.
Watering: Requires moderate watering, allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid over-watering to prevent root rot, especially in winter.
Substrate: Well-draining soil is essential. 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. Moderate to warm conditions are ideal for growth.
