Echeveria Madiba

  • The Echeveria 'Madiba' is a stunning hybrid succulent that forms a large, solitary rosette. It is famous for its thick, pointed leaves that develop dramatic wavy or "curly" edges as the plant matures. This variety is a cultivated hybrid, believed to be a selection or cross involving Echeveria lilacina. It was developed to highlight the unique "crinkled" leaf mutation.

    Its most remarkable feature is the textural transformation. Young plants have relatively smooth leaves, but as they age, the margins become increasingly ruffled and "carunculated," giving the plant a fierce yet graceful look. Its color is a beautiful silvery-grey to pale lilac, with leaf tips that turn bright blush pink or orange under bright light.

    The flowers are typically a vibrant pinkish-red on the outside with a warm yellow interior. These bell-like blossoms stand high above the silvery foliage, creating a regal display that lasts for several weeks.


  • Needs full sun to very bright, indirect light. To achieve the tightest rosette and the most intense pink ruffles, aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight.

    Use a highly porous, gritty succulent mix. A blend containing 70% mineral substrate (pumice, perlite, or grit) and 30% organic matter is ideal to ensure maximum drainage.

    Prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C–27°C). It can tolerate higher heat if provided with adequate airflow.

    Use the "soak and dry" method. Water the soil deeply until it drains out the bottom, then wait until the soil is 100% dry before watering again. Avoid getting water trapped in the ruffled leaves to prevent rot.

    Feed lightly once or twice during the growing season with a diluted, low-nitrogen fertilizer. Overfeeding can cause leggy growth and weaken the plant.

    Non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe addition to a pet-friendly household.
