Echeveria ‘Giant Mexican’

Description

An absolute beast of an Echeveria, the ‘Giant Mexican’ can grow up to a whooping 30cm tall and 40cm wide which certainly stands it in giant stature compared to many other Echeverias. Its big, juicy pinky white leaves grow in a perfectly formed rosette, and are covered in a naturally occurring powdery substance called farina which acts as a protective shield from harsh sun. What also makes this Echeveria intriguing is that it only starts to produce pups once it has become more mature, and only produces a handful at a time, making it even more of a special plant to care for and propagate.
