About Echeveria colorata E.Walther
Echeveria colorata is an evergreen, perennial succulent that forms a rosette of fleshy leaves, which can grow up to 40 centimetres (16 inches) in diameter. This species is cultivated as an ornamental plant. It is used in rock gardens and grown as a potted plant. In cooler temperate regions, it must be kept indoors over winter, because it cannot tolerate temperatures of −4 °C (25 °F) or lower. Its optimum growing temperature ranges from 23 °C to 25 °C. In Australia, summer temperatures can reach above 40 °C, so this plant requires protection. Protection can be provided by moving the plant to a more shaded position, or by covering it with 70% shade cloth.
