Description
Echeveria 'Perle von Nurnberg' is a striking succulent renowned for its rosettes of fleshy, pastel-hued leaves. The foliage displays a captivating blend of pale grey, lavender, and pink tones, often intensified by a powdery coating. In Perth's climate, this plant thrives in full sun to partial shade, with its colours becoming more vibrant under increased sunlight. During summer (Bunuru), it produces elegant flower spikes adorned with coral-pink blossoms, adding a touch of charm to any setting. Ideal for containers, rockeries, or as a feature in succulent arrangements, it complements both indoor and outdoor spaces.
To ensure optimal growth, plant in well-draining, sandy or gritty soil and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This drought-tolerant succulent prefers minimal watering once established. While it can tolerate periods of dryness, overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot. In Perth, it's best to provide protection from excessive winter rainfall. Regularly remove any dead leaves to maintain its appearance and health.
