Echeveria 'Taurus' is a cultivar that shows dramatic seasonal colour changes, with leaves that can shift from green to deep red and burgundy under strong light or cooler weather. The leaf surfaces have a smooth, slightly glossy finish, and the pointed tips accentuate the contrasting colours that often form between older and newer growth. In late spring to early summer, slender stalks emerge carrying orange to reddish flowers.
Care Tips:
Light - Provide bright, indirect light to full sun to encourage strong red colouring on the leaves.
Water - Water deeply, allowing the soil to dry completely between watering; reduce watering during cooler months.
Humidity - Well suited to low humidity conditions.
Media - Use a coarse, free-draining cactus and succulent mix.
Temperature - Performs best between 15-27 °C; protect from frost.
Fertiliser - Feed with a diluted, balanced fertiliser during the growing season.
Repotting - Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant has filled its container.
