    Echeveria 'Mauna Loa' is a spectacular succulent that forms large rosettes of colorful leaves that crinkle and frill at the edges. The rosettes grow up to 24 inches (60 cm) in diameter on stout, up to 18 inches (45 cm) tall stems. Leaves are pale green when young and develop shades of blue and pink with age. The edges of the leaves can turn red to burgundy when grown in the sun. Flowers are orange-pink, slightly nodding, and appear on a tall branched inflorescence in fall.

     

    Echeveria species are not complicated succulents to grow, provided you follow a few basic rules. First, be careful never to let water sit in the rosette as it can cause rot or fungal diseases that will kill the plant. Additionally, remove dead leaves from the bottom of the plant as it grows. These dead leaves provide a haven for pests, and Echeverias are susceptible to mealy bugs. Finally, as with all succulents, careful watering habits and plenty of light will help ensure success. Echeveria need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and compact rosette form.

     

    Repot as needed, preferably during the warm season. To repot a succulent, ensure the soil is dry before repotting, then gently remove the pot. Knock away the old soil from the roots, removing any rotted or dead roots. Treat any cuts with a fungicide.
