Estimated Native Range
Summary
Echeveria pulidonis, commonly known as Pulido’s Echeveria, is an evergreen succulent plant native to rocky outcroppings in semi-desert regions of Mexico. This species forms compact rosettes of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves that can reach 13–15 cm in diameter. The leaves are a distinctive pale green with red margins and are often covered with a fine, waxy coating that helps reduce water loss. Echeveria pulidonis blooms in the spring, producing arching inflorescences with bell-shaped yellow flowers that are moderately showy and attract pollinators.
Pulido’s Echeveria is valued for its low maintenance requirements and its ornamental foliage, which adds a touch of elegance to rock gardens, container plantings, and as a ground cover in xeriscaped areas. It is also popular in succulent arrangements and as a houseplant. While it is drought-tolerant, it is important to avoid waterlogging, especially in winter, to prevent root rot. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires full sun to part shade to maintain its vibrant leaf coloration. Overwatering or poor drainage can lead to fungal diseases. It is also susceptible to mealybugs and aphids.CC BY-SA 4.0
