Echeveria 'Rosetta Cariba

Echeveria 'Rosetta Cariba' is an attractive variety of Echeveria, much appreciated for its compact, symmetrical rosette and bright colors. This succulent is a popular choice for houseplant collections and rock gardens because of its beauty and ease of care.

Origin: Echeveria is a genus mainly native to Mexico, but varieties such as 'Rosetta Cariba' have been developed by growers to improve characteristics such as color, shape and rosette size.

Growth: Echeveria 'Rosetta Cariba' forms a dense rosette that grows to around 15-20 cm in diameter at maturity. This relatively slow-growing plant maintains a compact form, making it ideal for small spaces and container arrangements.

Flowers: Like other Echeverias, 'Rosetta Cariba' can produce upright flower stems bearing bell-shaped flowers. These flowers are generally pink or red and appear mainly in spring or summer.

Light: This succulent prefers bright, direct sunlight. To maintain vibrant coloration and a compact form, it's ideal to place it where it can receive several hours of direct light a day, although too much direct sun in midsummer can sometimes cause leaf burn.

Watering: Watering should be moderate during the growing season, allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings. In winter, reduce watering to match the plant's dormancy, which helps prevent root rot.

Substrate: A well-draining potting mix is essential for Echeveria 'Rosetta Cariba'. Use a succulent-specific substrate that incorporates pumice, perlite or volcanic rock to ensure excellent drainage.

Toxicity: Echeveria 'Rosetta Cariba' is generally considered non-toxic to humans and pets, making it safe for use in domestic environments.
