Origin and description

This succulent plant is native to Mexico. It belongs in the Crassulaceae family and it can grow up to two feet tall with a width of 18 inches (45 cm). The leaves are thick, greenish-grey but they do not have any stem or branches. They form rosettes at their base that spread outwards. The leaves are rough to the touch and they curl into themselves. They have a waxy coating that protects them from water loss, which makes this plant perfect for dry climates where other plants would not survive without regular watering.

Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg is also known as ‘Mexican Gem’ or by its scientific name. The plant blooms in spring and summer with fleshy red flowers that grow on long stems downwards. They are one of the easiest succulent plants to cultivate because it does not require much watering or light exposure, which makes it perfect for beginners.

Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg can be propagated easily by layering or by taking stem cuttings in spring or summer.

Cuttings are easy to root with the right conditions. Layering is generally not successful because they resent being removed from their substrate and may sulk for months or years before making a comeback.

Propagation is easy, just remove cuttings from the mother plant and let it dry out for a couple of days so that its cuticle gets hard. Then you can put some soil on top of it before watering to help with root growth. You should also use warm temperatures around 80°F (26°C).

Echeveria perle von nurnberg care

Echeveria perle von Nurnberg

Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg is a winter hardy succulent that loves bright light and ample airflow. They are an excellent plant for beginners to start with when it comes to succulents. They are also very water-retentive so less watering means they will look better longer! Make sure your Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg gets some sun and maybe shade in the afternoon.

Light requirements

Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg requires bright, filtered sunlight. The best results are obtained with a south-facing exposure. The plant tolerates moderate shade, but growth will be slower in too much shade. Along with adequate light levels, it needs well-drained soil to stay healthy and prevent root rot.

Soil/potting mix

Echeverias are not very picky about soil as long as it drains well. Any potting mix will likely work just fine, but be sure to avoid mixes that have added fertilizer or compost included in the package. They tend to grow slowly and if you’re using a fertilized medium they may never stop growing!

Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg is a succulent plant, which means it will need a soil/potting mix that has good drainage and doesn’t retain too much moisture. A great way to pot up your Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg is in an unglazed clay pot.

Watering

Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg needs to be watered carefully. They are sensitive to over-watering, especially during the winter months when they go dormant and don’t require much water at all. The best way is to soak them in a bowl of tepid water for about an hour once or twice a week and then let them dry out for a couple of days before watering again.

Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg, like all succulents, needs to be watered very sparingly as they will die if over-watered or given too much water at once. They should be good enough that the potting mix is allowed to dry out before you water again.

Fertilizer

Fertilizer is mainly used by succulents for the development of flowers and to strengthen existing leaves; it does very little to promote new leaf and stem growth.

Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg requires slightly less fertilizer than most succulents. Use a low nitrogen, high phosphate plant food at half the recommended strength for cacti and succulents every three months during their growing season (which is typically summertime). When in doubt, read the ingredients on your package of fertilizer for guidance.

Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg has a small root system and generally grows slowly, so they will not require more than one feeding during their growing season every three months or so.

Temperature

Echeveria perle von nurnberg likes warm, dry conditions and light shade. Provide filtered sunlight to protect it from too much sun exposure which can cause drying or scorching of the leaves. Prolonged periods of cold temperatures will also damage this plant’s growth center and kill its roots so keep them indoors during winter.

The ideal temperature is between 65° to 70°F.

Humidity

Since Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg likes humidity and grows best in humid conditions, it is a good idea to make an area of the garden especially for them. This will help your plants stay healthy and happy! The optimal humidity range is 40% to 70%.

Pruning

Pruning will not kill the plant and it will continue to grow new, healthy leaves. The more you cut off of Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg, the larger and healthier it will grow. They can be trimmed and shaped to keep them in the desired shape.

There is no need for pinching when growing Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg; however, you do want to remove dead leaves throughout the season. The more you cut them back, the bushier they grow so it is important to trim regularly during its growing season (in colder climates this will fall around March to May).

Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg is a great alternative to the more commonly used Echeveria Agavoides, which have been known to become invasive. This particular variety will not spread as quickly and easily as the agavoides but it still requires regular pruning if you would like it to remain in one spot.

When to repot

Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg is best repotted in spring because this is when they’re actively growing. If you want to show off the pretty pink blossoms that appear at this time of year, prop up your plant so it gets good light and air circulation.

Dormancy

They are very unique succulent plants because they are one of the few species that actually go dormant in winter. During this time, the plant turns completely gray and stops growing entirely until spring comes around again. It can seem like your plant has died during dormancy if you’re not used to seeing this behavior in plants, but don’t worry! Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg is just doing what it naturally does.

Flowers & Fragrance

Echeveria perle von nurnberg is one of a kind. It has the most beautiful flowers that open up on tall stems and display themselves in upright clusters, curling as they mature from deep rose to pinkish-red. This Echeveria also produces little berry-like fruits which may be eaten if desired but are not necessary for the health of the plant.

Growth rate

They grow at a very slow rate.

Toxicity

Echeverias are not toxic to humans. To be safe, always wash your hands after handling Echeveria or its soil.

USDA Hardiness Zones

They are hardy to Zone 11-12

Pests and diseases

Echeverias are susceptible to fungal diseases if they are overwatered, but pests are not common. Echeveria can be prone to root rot from overly wet soil conditions, especially during the winter months. Their thick leaves enable them to tolerate some exposure to saltwater spray and harsh winds without being damaged too much.
