Echeveria purpusorum White Form
Echeveria purpusorum ‘White Form’ is a cultivated form of the species Echeveria purpusorum, which is native to Puebla and Oaxaca, Mexico. While the wild species grows on rocky slopes and cliffs, this selected form is valued for its compact rosettes of short, triangular leaves that display pale silvery-green to white tones rather than the deeper green with red speckling seen in the typical form. Its slower growth and solitary habit make it well suited for container culture and collectors seeking unusual colour variations. Flowers are produced in spring to early summer and are typically orange to red with yellow tips, rising on short, arching stalks above the rosette.
Care Tips:
- Light – Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun for best growth and to maintain its pale leaf colouration.
- Water – Allow soil to dry thoroughly between watering; reduce watering during cooler months.
- Humidity – Adapted to low humidity conditions.
- Media – Use a coarse, free-draining cactus and succulent mix.
- Temperature – Ideal temperature range is 15–27 °C; protect from frost.
- Fertiliser – Use a diluted, balanced fertiliser during the active growing season.
- Repotting – Repot only when necessary, as it prefers to stay rootbound and grows slowly.
