  •   Echeveria 'Machete' is a rare sculptural succulent in the family Crassulaceae, believed to originate from hybrid cultivation rather than a specific natural habitat in Mexico. It belongs to the Echeveria genus, a group native to semi-arid regions of Central America and Mexico, and has become a sought-after find among succulent collectors.

      'Machete' forms a compact rosette of thick, elongated leaves with a silvery-blue to pale green surface and a powdery farina coating. The leaf tips are pointed and slightly upturned, and the overall form stays low and tight. In direct sun, the leaf edges can blush with faint pink or coral tones.

      Flower information for this cultivar is not widely documented, so verified bloom details are unavailable. What is confirmed is that 'Machete' is pet-friendly, non-toxic to cats and dogs, and it can purify indoor air. A drop in nighttime temperatures encourages blooming in many Echeveria cultivars, and the same likely applies here.

      Move it outside for summer, but keep it covered from rain since the farina coating and rosette center trap moisture and can rot. 'Machete' handles dry heated indoor air without trouble but keep it away from air conditioning vents and heating units. Rotate the pot every week or two so all sides receive even light exposure. You can leave it up to ten days without water, and it is a rare cultivar that works well even for first-time succulent growers.

  •   Echeveria 'Machete' grows well in bright indirect light to direct sun, with a few hours of morning sun preferred.

      Water it every 10 to 14 days, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings.

      'Machete' does best in a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix combined with added perlite.

      It prefers temperatures between 60°F and 80°F and should be brought indoors before temperatures drop below 40°F.

      'Machete' is a slow-growing succulent; feed it with a diluted balanced fertilizer once in spring and once in summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 9b through 11, tolerating brief dips to around 25°F. It grows outdoors year-round in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, and parts of Nevada and New Mexico. It can stay outdoors in autumn in those regions as long as frost is not expected.
  • Q: How much light does Echeveria 'Machete' need indoors?
    A: An east- or west-facing window works well, giving a few hours of direct morning or afternoon sun without the intensity of a south-facing window, which can scorch the farina-coated leaves.

    Q: How do I know when this succulent needs water?
    A: Echeveria 'Machete' will show slightly soft or lightly wrinkled leaves when the soil has been dry long enough that it needs water.

    Q: Is 'Machete' safe to have around cats and dogs?
    A: Yes, it is non-toxic and pet-friendly, safe to keep around cats and dogs.

    Q: How fast does this plant grow?
    A: 'Machete' is a slow grower, adding just a few new leaves per season under good conditions.

    Q: Can 'Machete' go outside in summer?
    A: Yes, move it to a spot with bright light and some shelter from rain. The rosette and powdery leaf coating are vulnerable to rot if water collects and sits.

    Q: How rare is this succulent, and where does it come from?
    A: 'Machete' is a cultivated hybrid and not widely available through standard retail channels, which puts it in the rare finds category for Echeveria collectors.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
