  •   Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta is a rare, compact succulent in the Crassulaceae family, prized by collectors worldwide. Native to the highlands of Mexico, it grows naturally in rocky, well-drained terrain with plenty of sun and cool nights. This beginner-friendly firecracker succulent is one of the most charming miniature echeverias you can grow.

      Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta forms tight, clustering rosettes densely covered in fine white hairs that give the leaves a soft, silvery-gray finish. The fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves are tipped with a subtle point, creating a starburst silhouette that looks stunning at 2" or 4" sizes. That velvety texture catches light beautifully and sets it apart from most other echeveria varieties at a glance.

      Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta produces vivid coral-red and yellow-tipped tubular flowers on slender stems, typically in spring and early summer. A drop in nighttime temperatures is the key trigger that encourages Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta to bloom, so placing it near a cool window in late winter pays off. The blooms are a true firecracker display that lives up to the plant's popular nickname.

      Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta is wonderfully versatile indoors and out. It thrives under bright office LEDs, making it a natural desk or shelf plant, and can move outside for summer to soak up extra sun. Bring it under cover during rain to protect the rosettes, since standing water in the center causes rot. Pet-friendly and genuinely rare, this clustering beauty is a standout addition to any succulent collection.

  •   Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta thrives in bright indirect light to full sun, though south-facing windows may scorch the leaves.

      Water Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta every 10-14 days in summer and every 3-4 weeks in winter, letting soil dry completely between waterings.

      Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta does best in a fast-draining cactus and perlite mix, ideally 50% gritty amendment to prevent root rot.

      Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C) and should be kept above 25°F (-4°C) to avoid frost damage.

      Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta is a slow to moderate grower that benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month in spring and summer.

      Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta is rated for USDA FAQs/ Common Issues Zones 9-11, tolerating brief dips to around 25°F (-4°C) before frost damage becomes a risk. Gardeners growing Echeveria Setosa var. Deminuta outdoors year-round will find ideal conditions across California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and coastal Oregon. Growers in borderline Zone 9 areas such as parts of New Mexico, Arkansas, and northern Florida should mulch well or bring plants inside during hard freezes.

    🌵 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.
