Echeveria Topsy Turvy

Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy' is a distinctive succulent admired for its unusual spoon-shaped leaves that curl upward, creating a striking sculptural rosette. Its blue-green foliage is covered with a soft powdery coating (farina), giving the plant a beautiful frosted appearance.

This fast-growing hybrid forms symmetrical rosettes that can reach up to 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) in diameter. In spring and summer, mature plants may produce arching flower stalks with attractive orange to yellow blooms that are loved by hummingbirds and other pollinators.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS

Place the cutting on top of the soil. Roots should form within two weeks. Keep the plant in bright shade during the rooting period. Water the cutting sparingly once roots have developed, and only when the soil is dry. After the cutting has rooted, gradually acclimate it to outdoor conditions to prevent leaf burn.
