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.
