About the Echeveria Hera
Echeveria Hera is a hybrid succulent resulting from the crossbreeding of Echeveria 'Afterglow' and Echeveria purpusorum. It inherits the leaf shape and color of 'Afterglow' but is smaller than the 16-inch diameter of Echeveria 'Afterglow'. Unlike most thin-leaved Echeverias, Echeveria Hera has fleshy leaves with inwardly concave elongated shapes, accentuating slightly twisted leaf margins. Under adequate sunlight, Echeveria Hera exhibits a range of colors from blue-purple to deep red, with a transparent red edge, giving the leaves a sharp appearance. In spring, it blooms with pink flowers.
 
How to care for Echeveria Hera
Sunlight: Echeveria Hera thrives both indoors and outdoors. Providing full sunlight during spring and autumn is recommended for compact growth and vibrant colors. During summer and winter, move indoors to prevent elongation, maintaining indirect light exposure near windows to avoid leggy growth.
 
Temperature: Echeveria Hera can survive in temperatures ranging from 41-95°F (5-35°C), with an ideal range of 54-77°F (12-25°C). Risk of frost damage exists when temperatures drop below 32°F (0°C) in winter.
 
Watering: Like most thin-leaved succulents, water Echeveria Hera when the soil is 80-90% dry to prevent overwatering. Avoid prolonged soil dryness and excessive rainfall during the rainy season to prevent rust infection.
 
Soil and Potting: Mix succulent potting soil and perlite in a 1:1 ratio for potting Echeveria Hera. Choose a pot 1.5-2 times larger than the plant's size, ensuring it has drainage holes.
