Echeveria ‘Compton Carousel’ is a variegated cultivar recognised for its symmetrical rosettes of bluish-grey leaves edged in creamy white. The leaves are covered with a fine powdery coating, giving the plant a soft, pastel appearance. It grows slowly compared to non-variegated Echeverias and maintains a compact, uniform form. In late spring to early summer, pink to coral flowers rise on slender arching stems above the foliage.
Care Tips:
Light – Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun; strong light helps preserve the rosette form and distinct variegation.
Water – Allow soil to dry completely between watering; water sparingly during cooler months.
Humidity – Well suited to low humidity environments.
Media – Use a coarse, free-draining cactus and succulent mix.
Temperature – Thrives in temperatures of 15–27 °C; protect from frost.
Fertiliser – Apply a diluted, balanced fertiliser during active growth.
Repotting – Repot infrequently as it grows slowly, usually every 2–3 years.
