Echeveria Minima

Echeveria minima – Petite Succulent with Big Charm | Rare Collector’s Plant

Delightfully compact yet visually striking, Echeveria minima is a miniature succulent native to northeastern Mexico, highly prized by collectors for its perfectly shaped rosettes and soft pastel colouring. Its frosted, spoon-shaped leaves form tight clusters resembling tiny artichokes, often blushed with pink or red at the edges when grown in bright light.

Though small in size, this variety makes a bold statement in pots, arrangements, and dish gardens, adding refined texture and colour contrast. Over time, it offsets freely, creating charming clumps of jewel-like rosettes.
