‘Red Psyche’ is a striking Korean hybrid, bred from Echeveria Ebony × Echeveria tolimanensis. It features smooth, greyish-green leaves with triangular protrusions on the underside, often lined with subtle markings. Under stress—sunlight or cooler temps—the foliage transforms into vivid orange-red tones, making it a seasonal standout.
