Echeveria Minima: The minima is a pocket-sized succulent with all the charm of its larger cousins. Also known as dwarf echeveria, this little beauty packs a punch with its rosette shape, plump blue-green leaves, and subtle pink edges. Perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any space, whether in a small pot on your windowsill, as a tabletop accent, or as part of a succulent garden. 

Plant Care Notes

Echeveria Minima needs bright, indirect sunlight to stay cute and compact, so place it in a sunny spot by a windowsill. Watch out for direct, full sunlight so that you don’t burn their delicate leaves, and keep them at a cozy temperature. Freezing winters are a minima’s worst nightmare!

Watering is easy - simply let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Like most succulents, it’s best to avoid overwatering. To help with this, make sure your soil is well-draining. A cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice is perfect. During winter, you can reduce watering to give this tiny plant a break while it goes into a semi-dormant state.

Echeveria minima propagates easily from offshoots or leaves. To propagate from offshoots, simply prune the small plants that sprout up around the base and replant them. For leaf propagation, take off a healthy leaf, let it callus for a few days, then place it on soil.
