Echeveria 'Culibra'

Echeveria 'Culibra' (also known as Echeveria 'Culebra') is a rare hybrid created by Dick Wright in 1980. It forms large, powdery blue-green rosettes with dramatic leaf caruncles—raised ridges that cause the leaves to curl downward into tubular shapes. The result is a plant that looks like a coiled serpent, with pink wavy margins and a bold, sculptural presence.

• Rosette size: up to 20 cm across

• Leaf shape: Tubular, curled with raised caruncles

• Colour: Silvery blue-green with pink edges

• Flowers: Bell-shaped pink blooms on tall, branched stalks in spring

• Light: Prefers full sun to bright filtered light. Protect from harsh afternoon rays to avoid leaf scorch.

• Water: Water deeply, then allow soil to dry out completely. Avoid letting water sit in the rosette to prevent rot and fungal issues.

• Soil: Needs a sharply draining succulent mix. Add coarse sand or perlite for extra airflow.

• Climate: Best in temperate to arid zones. Protect from frost and heavy rain. 

• Maintenance: Remove dead leaves promptly to prevent pests. Avoid touching the leaf surface to preserve its powdery coating.

Display Picture plant IS NOT for sale, it is added to showcase the beauty or growth habit of the plant. 

Plants for sale are shown in a 7cm pot. The images will show the same or similar plant to the one sent to you.

Succulent colours can change due to the time of year, environment, or growing conditions.

Please Note:

Plants are sent bare rooted. A snazzy way of saying it will arrive with minimal or no soil or pot.

Succulents need to travel with the least moisture as possible due to potential problems, such as rotting. This means they are taken out of their pots and their roots are allowed to dry out before sending. As a result, plants may arrive looking slightly different to photos. Some maybe a little dry looking or slightly wrinkled leaves for example, remember succulents are hardy and will bounce back with a little TLC. TLC instructions will be within your order.
