Guide

The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.

Echeveria simulans is a rosette-forming succulent subshrub native to arid regions of Mexico, where it stores water in its fleshy leaves and tolerates lean, fast-draining soil. Grow it in gritty, well-draining mix with several hours of direct sun, and water deeply only once the soil has dried out completely to the bottom of the pot. Sitting in damp mix invites rot, so err toward keeping it dry.
