Echeveria gibbiflora

Echeveria gibbiflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae. It was described by Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1828. It occurs in Mexico and Guatemala.


Caring for echeveria


1) Avoid prolonged sun exposure for variegated species as it can lead to sunburn


2) Minimise rain splash to prevent rot


3) Use inorganic, well-draining, gritty mix


4) Always use a pot with a drainage hole


5) Give at least 4-5hours of direct morning sun or 8-12 hours of grow light to prevent etiolation


6) Propagate by stem cuttings, leaf or seeds


7) Avoid spraying with water or oil-based products as the farina will be destroyed 😎 It is normal for the bottom leaves to dry up if it is newly potted as the roots are not established. Give it some moisture to start the rooting process.


9) Treat regularly with diluted fungicide solution such as captan or zagro stilts.
