Echeveria x 'Barbillion'

Barbillion is one of the Echeveria hybrids produced by Jim Wright in his ‘volcano series'. It looks like Echeveria 'carunculata' but it is a gigantic plant and the bumps are sooo abundant and warty.

Tips about Echeveria Hybrids in General

Echeveria hybrids are some of the most colourful rosette-succulents. They are very easy to grow and perfect in pots of 12-16 cm. Place them in full full sun for better colour but let them enjoy some partial shade in Summer. Water sparingly throughout the year and keep a bit drier in winter. Use a well-drained soil and fertilize occasionally during the warmer months. Hybrids are usually hardy to about 0 C but do better if protected from frost. Most Echeveria hybrids will eventually grow a stem. After a few years, rosettes tend to become older and smaller, so plants should be "deheaded", and replanted every 3 to 4 years.
