Echeveria pulidonis is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, native to central Mexico, more specifically, Puebla and Veracruz.[1]
Description
Habit: Forms rosettes of leaves, and as it ages, it will naturally form offsets, creating clusters of rosettes. Each rosette can reach 13–15 cm in diameter.[1]
Leaves: Tapered to a sharp point. Green with red margins.[1]
Flowers: Yellow.[1]
Cultivation
Half-hardy. Dislikes water sitting on its leaves, but tolerates this more than some other Echeveria species do.[1]
Taxonomy
Echeveria is named for Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy, a botanical illustrator who contributed to Flora Mexicana.[2]
