Echeveria Runyonii morphological features

The surface is heavily powdery and the leaf margin is pale pink due to light.Flowering in spring to early summer, flowers are small, yellow.Plant diameter is up to 20-30 cm, height up to 15-30 cm.When the special jade lotus blossoms, the adult plant usually grows two or more arched racemes at the same time, 15-20 cm high.The corolla is pentagonal, 1.9-2.0 cm long, 1.0 cm in diameter, bright red-orange.It is worth noting that sometimes the flowers and sepals have the same distorted shape as the leaves.

Echeveria Runyonii life habits

Echeveria runyonii grew at a suitable temperature of 16-19℃, and the overwintering temperature should not be lower than 5℃.Illumination is fond of illumination, it is also tolerant to semi-shade environment, and it is necessary to pay attention to shading protection when the temperature is high in summer. 

Echeveria Runyonii distribution range

Echeveria Runyonii was originally fertilized in Mexico, once a month during the growing period.

It is resistant to drought, the growing period to increase the number of watering, winter to keep wet.

Echeveria Runyonii basin soil is suitable for a mixture of peat, vermiculite and perlite in a ratio of 1:1:1, which can be appropriately mixed with bone powder. 

Echeveria Runyonii application

Echeveria Runyonii has a unique shape and is of great ornamental value. It is suitable for decoration on tea tables, computers, desks and other places. 

Echeveria Runyonii reproduction method

Cut the base tiller or the top of the Echeveria Runyonii, dry and cut the mouth before cutting.Soil should not be too wet, otherwise the shear mouth is easy to rot.Rooted after about 20 days.Alternatively, the leaves can be inserted, and the leaves can be removed to enrich the leaves. After 1-2 days of airing, the leaves can be spread flat or inserted into the medium in a shallow way. In about 10 days, small buds and new roots will grow at the base of the leaves.· Plant separation and propagation: combined with turning the basin to cut tiller buds with rooting at the base, dry the wound and plant it again

Notes for breeding Echeveria Runyonii

The bottom of the echeveria runyonii (Echeveria Topsy Turvy) plant develops lateral buds very easily.Generally, when the lateral bud produces 4 ~ 6 leaves, it can be cut out and cultivated separately, so as to avoid overcrowding and damage the shape of the mother plant.Echeveria Runyonii likes sunny, warm and dry environment, lack of light leaves will be thin, appear not full. If you want to keep a tight full plant, you can take full sunshine.There will be brief dormancy in summer, so pay attention to proper water supply and shade.
