Characteristics

Echeveria ‘Ramillete’ is a visually striking hybrid Echeveria known for its vibrant and colorful rosettes. The name ‘Ramillete’ means ‘bouquet’ in Spanish, a nod to the plant’s clustered, flower-like appearance and the variety of colors it can display.

  • Appearance: This succulent forms dense rosettes of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves. The leaves are often tightly packed, giving the rosette a full and lush appearance.
  • Color: The leaves are typically a mix of green, pink, and orange hues, with the intensity of the colors often deepening with stress from bright sunlight or cooler temperatures. The varied colors give the impression of a bouquet of flowers, especially when the plant is well-stressed.
  • Size: The rosettes usually grow to about 4-8 inches in diameter. ‘Ramillete’ can remain relatively low to the ground but may spread out as it produces offsets.
  • Flowers: Echeveria ‘Ramillete’ produces flower spikes with bell-shaped flowers. The blooms are typically pink or red and appear on tall stems that rise above the foliage, usually in the spring or early summer.

Cultivation and Propagation

Echeveria ‘Ramillete’ requires care similar to other Echeverias, with some specific needs due to its vibrant coloration.

  • Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Some direct sunlight is beneficial for color development but too much can cause the leaves to scorch or lose their vibrant hues.
  • Soil: Thrives in well-draining soil, typically a cactus or succulent mix.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly but allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Over-watering can lead to root rot, a common issue with succulents.
  • Temperature: Prefers mild temperatures and should be protected from frost. In colder regions, consider growing it in a container that can be brought indoors during winter.
  • Propagation: Can be propagated through leaf cuttings or offsets. Gently twist a leaf from the rosette, allow it to callous for a few days, and then place it on well-draining soil. The plant may also produce offsets that can be separated and replanted.

Echeveria ‘Ramillete’, with its bouquet-like appearance and vibrant colors, is a stunning addition to any succulent collection, rock garden, or as a colorful potted plant.
