Echeveria agavoides 'Sirius'

Echeveria agavoides ‘Sirius’ is a cultivated form of the species Echeveria agavoides, native to rocky regions of central Mexico. This cultivar is characterised by its compact, symmetrical rosette of thick, triangular leaves that often display a pale green to bluish base with red to deep crimson margins, especially under bright light. Compared to the standard species, ‘Sirius’ maintains a denser form and stronger leaf tip pigmentation. It flowers in late spring to summer, producing arching stems of orange to reddish blooms with yellow interiors, a typical trait of the species.

Care Tips:

• Light – Requires bright light to full sun for best colour development and compact growth.
• Water – Water thoroughly and allow the soil to dry completely between watering; reduce during cooler months.
• Humidity – Performs well in low humidity environments.
• Media – Use a coarse, free-draining succulent and cactus mix.
• Temperature – Prefers 15–27 °C and protection from frost.
• Fertiliser – Apply a diluted, balanced fertiliser during the growing season.
• Repotting – Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes rootbound.
