How to Grow and Care for ×Sedeveria

These hybrid succulents are a cross between the cascading Sedum morganianum (Donkey’s Tail) and Echevaria derenbergii (Painted Lady). Thy hybridization gives the super donkey tail larger, more robust leaves. It has a tendency to sprawl, and can be planted indoors or out, provided it gets bright light and infrequent water.

The lety's sedeveria is capable of sprouting small lateral buds from where old leaves have fallen, and this is where branches develop from. With sufficient light and the right temperatures, the leaves will display a green-to-red gradient from their center to their margin. However, when light is insufficient, excessive growth will rapidly occur, and the color of the leaves will quickly fade to green.

The markus grows fast, is very adaptable to various environments, and can be grown in the open all year round. Its leaves are constantly green or yellowish-green, but turn golden and pink in seasons that provide plenty of light and the right temperatures. Propagation by leaf cuttings is usually successful, and the plant grows quickly after budding, often in large clusters.

Sedeveria (×Sedeveria 'Whitestone Crop'-duplicate) is a succulent species valued for ornamental purposes when grown in small pots and containers. Sedeveria is thought to be a rare hybrid between Echeveria prolifera Otero F24 and Sedum stahlii. This species is treasured by succulent collectors, but is still rare. Its preferred growth conditions are largely uncharacterized.

The pink ruby has a smooth leaf surface with a waxy sensation. The whole plant turns bright red when there is plenty of light and the right temperatures, making it look like a glimmering ruby after the rain, when water droplets still hang on the leaves. In the summer, the leaves tend to fade to emerald green.
