Unit price perEstimated delivery between 23 July and 25 July.
The Echeveria Lilacina Rooted Starter Plant, a serene member of the Crassulaceae family, originates from the rocky outcrops of Nuevo León, Mexico. Often called the "Ghost Echeveria," this plug-rooted succulent forms elegant, symmetrical rosettes of powdery lilac-gray leaves with delicate pink edges under bright sunlight. Reaching 6-10 inches in diameter, its drought-tolerant form thrives in containers, rockeries, or sunny indoor spaces. Hardy in zones 9-11, this slow-growing beauty sends up arching flower stalks with coral-pink bell-shaped blooms in late winter to early spring. Safe for homes with pets and children, its ethereal coloring adds calming sophistication to any décor.

Echeveria Lilacina Care Guide
Celebrated for its tranquil beauty and resilience, this starter plant thrives with straightforward care. Follow these guidelines for optimal growth.
Watering
Water deeply only when the soil is completely dry (every 3-4 weeks in summer, sparingly in winter). Use the "soak and dry" method, ensuring thorough drainage. Avoid splashing leaves to preserve their protective farina coating.
Light
Requires 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily for compact growth and pink edging. South-facing windows or open gardens are ideal. Acclimate gradually to outdoor sun in spring. Provide light shade in temperatures above 95°F (35°C).
Temperature
Prefers 50°F-80°F (10°C-27°C). Tolerates brief frosts down to 25°F (-4°C) if kept dry. Protect from prolonged humidity and freezing conditions.
Common Problems
- Farina damage from handling or water droplets
- Root rot caused by overwatering or dense soils
- Mealybugs nesting in leaf crevices and treated with 70% isopropyl alcohol
- Etiolation (stretching) in low-light environments
- Sunburn from abrupt exposure to intense midday sun
Best Locations & Uses
- Creates serene focal points in minimalist living rooms or sunlit bedrooms
- Thrives in rock gardens, gravel pathways, or drought-tolerant landscapes
- Pairs elegantly with blue chalk sticks or lavender for cool-toned themes
- Ideal for fairy gardens or succulent wreaths due to its compact growth
- Perfect for sunny bathroom windowsills with occasional humidity
