Echeveria Purple Afterglow

Echeveria 'Purple Afterglow' is a stunning hybrid succulent known for its large, luminous rosettes of powdery lavender to purple leaves, often highlighted with vivid pink edges. This variety is a cross between Echeveria shaviana and Echeveria cante, inheriting the best of both with its soft, velvety texture and vibrant coloration. Under bright sunlight, the colors intensify, making 'Purple Afterglow' a standout feature in succulent arrangements and garden landscapes. Its sculptural form and pastel hues create an eye-catching focal point wherever it’s placed.

Characteristics:

• Large rosettes that can grow up to 30-40 cm in diameter.

• Broad, fleshy lavender-purple leaves with neon pink margins.

• Coated with a fine layer of powdery farina, giving a frosted appearance.

• Produces tall flower stalks with bright coral-orange flowers during summer.

• Excellent for statement pots, succulent gardens, and outdoor landscapes in mild climates.

Care Tips:

• Light: Requires bright sunlight for the best coloration. Full sun to partial shade is ideal. Indoor plants should be placed in the sunniest spot available.

• Watering: Water deeply but infrequently. Let the soil dry completely between watering. Avoid overhead watering to protect the farina.

• Soil: Plant in well-draining cactus or succulent soil. Amend with perlite or pumice for enhanced drainage.

• Temperature: Prefers warm, dry conditions. Protect from frost as it is not cold-hardy.

• Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted, balanced succulent fertilizer during the active growing season (spring and summer).

• Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf cuttings or offsets.

• Maintenance: Gently remove any dead lower leaves to maintain appearance and discourage pests like mealybugs.
