Echeveria agavoides,"Moulded Wax"

Echeveria agavoides  
a cultivar with pink foliage

Echeveria agavoides ,a rosette succulent which is sometimes given the common name "moulded wax" because of the translucent waxy leaves is native to Estado de San Luis Potosi , a central State of Mexico. The pointed boat shaped leaves are quite tough and much more resistant to damage by insects, snails or hail which can pit and distort the leaves of many soft foliaged succulents. Unlike many of the other Echeverias it does not grow up on a stalk but slowly increases its circumference and sends out a few "babies" crowded under the tight rosette of leaves. The variety E.a corderoyi is the most hardy form and the leaves develop brilliant red margins from late winter through spring. The colours are also stronger if fertiliser is limited and the plants are grown "hard".This is a great pot or garden specimen.
2017 update: Always have plenty of stock available of the variety 'Cordroyii' in various pot sizes.
