The fiona was hybridized from the Ghost echeveria. It has transparent leaf margins and red leaf tips. At the peak of its beauty, its leaf margins turn purple and its leaves turn light blue, presenting a dreamy look. The fiona needs lots of light; it tends to grow excessively, with all of its leaves turning green, when light is scarce.

Water: Fiona adapts well to arid environments with high drought tolerance, requiring watering every three weeks and allowing the soil to dry thoroughly. It thrives in well-draining soil to avoid root rot, especially in regions with rare but heavy rainfall.

Fertilize: Most succulent plants, including fiona, thrive in nutrient-poor environments and do not require fertilization. Adding a slow-release fertilizer in early summer is optional, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent potential damage from excess nutrients.

Pruning: To maintain a pleasing shape, large succulent plants like fiona may require pruning in spring and fall by removing redundant or dense branches. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, treat the wound with sulfur powder, and plant in slightly moist soil once healed.

Propagation: Succulent propagation can be achieved using seeds or leaf cuttings, with the latter being more common in spring and fall. Cut a healthy leaf, place it on humid soil, and ensure a temperature of 25℃ (77℉) and bright, scattered light for optimal growth. A bud typically emerges in one to two weeks.
