  •   Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata is a rare fuzzy succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to the mountainous regions of Mexico. This beginner-friendly echeveria has charmed collectors worldwide with its easy care and unmistakable texture. If you love drought tolerant succulents with serious personality, Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata belongs in your collection.

      Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata forms tight, symmetrical rosettes densely packed with plump green leaves covered in fine white hairs, giving it that signature fuzzy succulent look that makes it instantly recognizable. The hairy echeveria habit creates a soft, almost velvety appearance up close, while the clustering growth style means one plant gradually becomes a stunning multi-rosette display. Mature rosettes typically reach 3-5 inches across, and the fine cilia along each leaf edge are the defining detail that sets Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata apart from other echeveria varieties.

      Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata earns its nickname as a firecracker plant succulent when it blooms, producing tall slender stalks topped with vivid red and yellow tubular flowers, typically in spring. A night temperature drop during cooler months is the trigger that encourages Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata to set those eye-catching flower spikes. The blooms are not noticeably fragrant, but the contrast of fiery color against soft green foliage more than makes up for it.

      Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata is a fantastic choice for sunny windowsills, outdoor container gardens, or a summer patio display. Move it outside for summer to soak up natural light, but always provide cover from rain since excess moisture on those fuzzy leaves invites rot. This rare hairy echeveria is 100% pet friendly, quietly releases oxygen at night, and can survive a 10-day trip without a sitter, making it as practical as it is beautiful for both new and experienced plant lovers.

  •   Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata thrives in bright indirect light, partial sun, or full sun with a few hours of direct morning light daily.

      Water Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata deeply every 10-14 days in summer and reduce to once every 3-4 weeks in winter, always letting soil dry completely between waterings.

      Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata performs best in a well-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with coarse perlite or pumice to prevent root rot.

      Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and should be protected from frost below 25°F (-4°C).

      Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata is a slow to moderate grower and benefits from a diluted balanced fertilizer once in early spring and once in midsummer.

      Echeveria Setosa Var. Ciliata is rated for USDA FAQs/ Common Issues Zones 9-11, tolerating minimum temperatures around 25-30°F (-4 to -1°C) before needing frost protection.

    🌵 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.
