With a wreath-like leaf arrangement in a rosette shape, this plant is a true eye-catcher. Its distinct characteristics make it a popular choice among succulent enthusiasts.
One of the defining characteristics of Echeveria Lotus is its mucronate leaf tip. This means that the leaf ends in a sharp point, adding an element of intrigue to its appearance. The leaf margins are involute, which means they roll inward, creating a visually appealing texture.

This unique form gives Echeveria Lotus a distinct look among other succulent species. The plant typically reaches a height of 0 to 5 cm, making it a compact and ideal addition to any collection.
As a succulent, Echeveria Lotus has specialized tissues that store water, allowing it to endure hot and dry conditions.

The secondary colors, green-light brown green-193B, add depth and complexity to the overall appearance.
Caring for Echeveria Lotus is relatively easy. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires moderate sunlight exposure. As a succulent, it is drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly. Overwatering may lead to root rot, so it is crucial to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
