Echeveria setosa var. deminuta J. Meyrán

Firecracker Plant

Scientific Classification :

Family: Crassulaceae
Subfamily: Sedoideae

Description :

Echeveria setosa var. deminuta is an attractive, evergreen succulent which produces an abundance of new “hairy” offsets each season. It grows in thick clusters of blue-green, club shaped leaves. Foliage is covered with white bristles which turn into tufts on the leaf tips. It is popularly called a “Firecracker Plant” because of the bright red and yellow flowers. The rosettes are up to 1.2 inches (3 cm) in diameter. When flowering, the bright nodding blossoms contrast nicely with the blue-green hairy leaves, making it one of the most beautiful of the genus.

How to Grow and Care for Echeveria :

Echeveria are very popular succulents that grow in attractive rosettes with beautiful leaves in a variety of colors and sometimes stunning flowers. These plants have been extensively hybridized, so in addition to the main species there are many varieties that have been specially bred for interesting leaf form and color. Most Echeveria will remain fairly small (a few inches to a foot across), but some species will grow to small shrub-like plants of 2 feet.

Growing Conditions :

Light: Full sun. Perfect for a sunny window.
Water: Water during the summer and spring, making sure drainage is immaculate. Reduce water in the winter to monthly.
Temperature: Prefers average summer temps (65ºF/18ºC – 70ºF/21ºC). In winter, cool to 50ºF/10ºC.
Soil: A well-drained succulent mix, with an ideal pH around 6.0 (slightly acidic).
Fertilizer: Feed with a controlled-release fertilizer in the beginning of the season or weekly with a weak liquid solution. Use a balanced 20-20-20 fertilizer at 1/4 strength on mature plants, and a fertilizer with less nitrogen on young plants.

Propagation :

Most Echeveria can be easily propagated from leaf cuttings, although a few are better from seeds or stem cuttings. To propagate a leaf cutting, place the individual leaf in a succulent or cacti mix and cover the dish until the new plant sprouts.

Origin :

Native to Mexico (mountains of Oaxaca and Puebla).
