Echeveria agavoides 'Corderoyi' (Aquamarine)

Also known and sold as Aquamarine

This cultivar of Echeveria agavoides forms a dense, symmetrical rosette of smooth, pale green leaves with a subtle sheen. Each leaf is thick, triangular, and tipped with a sharp reddish point that may extend slightly along the edges. Mature rosettes typically reach 10 cm tall and up to 20 cm wide. In spring and early summer, it produces tall flower stalks (up to 50 cm) with clusters of red-and-yellow blooms.

• Sunlight: Loves basking in bright light. Give it full sun if you can, but it’ll still thrive with a few hours of direct morning rays and bright indirect light the rest of the day. If it starts stretching or fading, it’s begging for more sun.

• Watering: Think of it like a camel — it prefers a good soak, then a long dry spell. Wait until the soil’s bone dry before watering again. And always water the soil, not the rosette (wet leaves = rot risk).

• Soil: Fast-draining is the name of the game. Use a gritty mix with plenty of pumice or perlite. If water hangs around too long, the roots will sulk.

• Temperature: It can handle a light frost if kept dry, but don’t push your luck below −4°C. If it’s chilly out, move it somewhere cozy.

• Humidity: Dry air is ideal. If your space is humid, make sure there’s good airflow — stagnant moisture is a fungal party waiting to happen.

• Seasonal Rhythm: It perks up in spring and autumn, slows down in summer heat, and naps through winter. Adjust watering and light accordingly.

• Propagation: Leaf cuttings work, but it’s a bit picky. Let the leaf callous over before planting, and be patient — roots take their sweet time.

• Tidying Up: Dead leaves at the base? Clear them out to keep pests like mealybugs from moving in. Think of it as housekeeping for your rosette royalty.

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.
