Echeveria Runyonii Pink Edge: Overview
The Echeveria Runyonii Pink Edge Rooted Starter Plant is a young, pre-rooted succulent known for its ruffled, spoon-shaped leaves with delicate pink margins. A cultivar of Echeveria runyonii, this hybrid features powdery blue-green foliage that develops soft pink edges under bright sunlight. Native to Mexico, this Crassulaceae family member forms compact rosettes and grows 6-8 inches tall and wide. Mature plants may produce tall stalks of orange or pink flowers in late summer.
This drought-tolerant starter plant is acclimated for easy growth, offering a head start over seeds or cuttings. Its striking coloration and low-maintenance nature make it ideal for containers, rock gardens, or indoor displays.

Echeveria Runyonii Pink Edge Care Guide
Light and Water
Light: 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 soil dry completely between waterings. Reduce to monthly in winter.
Soil and Fertilizing
Soil: Use a gritty cactus/succulent mix (e.g., 50% potting soil + 50% perlite/pumice).
Fertilizer: Optional—feed lightly with 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 kept dry.
Humidity: Prefers dry air (10-40% humidity). Avoid humid environments.
Pruning, Propagating, and Repotting
Pruning: Remove dead lower leaves to maintain symmetry. Trim spent flower stalks.
Propagating: Separate offsets or take leaf cuttings; let callous for 2-3 days before planting.
Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years in spring. Use shallow, wide pots for shallow roots.
Echeveria Runyonii Pink Edge: Common Problems
Root rot: Overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure pots have drainage holes.
Etiolation (stretching): Insufficient light. Move to a sunnier location.
Mealybugs or aphids: Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Faded pink edges: Insufficient sunlight. Gradually increase light exposure.
Echeveria Runyonii Pink Edge: Best Locations & Uses
Sunny windowsills: Enhances pink margins with morning sunlight.
