Echeveria Runyonii Pink Edge
$12.79
Unit price perEstimated delivery between 28 August and 30 August.
The Echeveria Runyonii Pink Edge is a striking succulent prized for its unique, spoon-shaped leaves with delicate pink margins. A cultivar of Echeveria runyonii, this rosette-forming succulent features powdery blue-green foliage that curls upward at the edges, creating a whimsical, ruffled appearance. Under bright light or mild stress, the leaf margins blush soft pink, adding a pop of color to its sculptural form. Native to Mexico's arid regions, this Crassulaceae family member grows 6-8 inches wide and produces tall, arching stalks of coral-orange flowers in late summer or fall.
Ideal for containers, rock gardens, or indoor displays, this drought-tolerant plant is low-maintenance and fast-growing. Unlike the classic Echeveria runyonii Topsy Turvy (which lacks pink edges), the Pink Edge variety offers a subtle yet captivating twist with its pastel accents.

Echeveria Runyonii Pink Edge Care Guide
Light and Water
- Light: Prefers full sun to bright indirect light (6+ hours daily). Direct sun enhances pink margins; acclimate gradually to prevent burns.
- Water: Water deeply but infrequently every 3-4 weeks in summer. Let the soil dry completely between waterings. Reduce to monthly in winter.
Soil and Fertilizing
- Soil: Use a gritty, well-draining cactus/succulent mix (e.g., 50% potting soil + 50% perlite/pumice).
- Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a diluted succulent fertilizer (5-10-5) once in spring and summer.
Temperature and Humidity
- Temperature: Ideal range: 60-80°F (15-27°C). Tolerates brief frost down to 25°F (-4°C) if dry.
- Humidity: Thrives in dry air (10-30% humidity). Avoid high humidity to prevent rot.
Pruning, Propagating, and Repotting
- Pruning: Remove dead lower leaves to maintain symmetry. Trim spent flower stalks post-bloom.
- Propagating: Propagate via offsets, leaf cuttings, or stem cuttings. Let cuttings callous for 2-3 days before planting.
- Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years in spring. Use a shallow, wide pot to accommodate spreading rosettes.
Common Problems
- Root rot: Caused by overwatering. Ensure pots have drainage holes and the soil dries fully.
- Etiolation (stretching): Insufficient light leads to loose rosettes. Move to a sunnier spot.
- Mealybugs or aphids: Treat with neem oil or isopropyl alcohol.
- Faded pink edges: Insufficient light. Gradually increase sun exposure.
Echeveria Runyonii Pink Edge: Best Locations & Uses
- Sunny windowsills: Enhance pink margins with morning sunlight.
- Rock gardens or gravel beds: Contrast beautifully with green or red succulents.
- Hanging planters: Showcase cascading rosettes in patios or balconies.
- Office desks: Thrives under bright artificial light with minimal care.
- Pet-friendly spaces: Safe for households with cats or dogs.
