echeveria orpet

Echeveria orpet originates from rocky slopes in central Mexico at 1500-2000 m elevation. It is a polycarpic species with compact growth habit and a seasonal growth cycle adapted to dry winters. Notably, it accumulates water in broad, thick leaves, a trait uncommon within the genus. Leaves spatulate, 4-6 cm wide, arranged in a dense rosette with subtly undulated margins. Color ranges from gray-green to pinkish hues during winter; surface exhibits a slight waxy coating.
