Echeveria Raindrops

Echeveria 'Raindrops' is a distinctive succulent bred by renowned hybridizer Dick Wright. It is prized for the unusual, raised raindrop-like tubercles that develop on the upper surface of its fleshy leaves. The blue-green rosettes are accented by attractive red margins, creating a beautiful contrast.

Bright light helps encourage the characteristic raised tubercles and brings out stronger coloration. With its unusual texture and sculptural form, Echeveria 'Raindrops' is a popular choice for succulent collectors.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS

Place the cutting on top of well-draining soil and keep it in bright shade while roots develop. Roots should begin to form within approximately 2–3 weeks. Once roots appear, water sparingly and only when the soil is completely dry.

After the cutting has rooted, gradually acclimatize it to stronger light and outdoor conditions to prevent sunburn.
