Some growers recommend planting immediately into dry growing media, watering only after roots form. Let the cut ends dry for overnight or up to a week before potting up.
Propagation: Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' is usually propagated by removal of offset and by division of large clumps. With the cooler autumn temperatures tending to make their foliage colours become more intense than those of the active summer growing season.Īphids like this plant (and all flowering Echeverias). It can tolerate light frosts, but it is best overwintered at 5-10 ☌. Good air movement is important for minimising pest and disease risks, and avoiding excessive humidity in cool winter conditions is important to successfully growing Echeveria in the nursery environment. Slow release fertilisers with a low to moderate nitrogen content are adequate for the spring and summer growing seasons, and additional fertiliser applications would not required until spring. Use a very porous soil, which will allow quick drainage. They can tolerate extended dry periods and survive drought without the need for watering, but they will grow stronger if they receive adequate moisture during their growing season, ut never allowing the plant to remain waterlogged (root rot sensitive).

Our collection represents the full spectrum of diverse beauty within this large and popular genus of succulents. Blue-green to silvery-grey often with pink tips, spatulate, strongly inversely keeled on the lower surface with leaf tips pointing inwards towards the centre of the plant. Here at Grubb & Nadler we grow over two dozen varieties of echeveria plants. Leaves: Up to 7,5 cm long by 2,5 cm across. The leaves are too narrow to form the perfect rosette usually expected in this genus.
Parent plants can get up to 25 cm across, but rarely do the offsets. It is a profuse offesetter and can create large mounds of densely crowded plants up to 20 x 35 cm (height by width). However, this ' Topsy Turvy' form is much more popular, so the 'regular' form is quite rare in cultivation. Description: This is an interesting leaf form of Echeveria runyonii, which is a pale blue to white-blue leaf Echeveria with normal shaped leaves.
