Echeveria 'Churro'

Echeveria 'Churro' is a delightful succulent that lives up to its sweet name with tightly packed, curving leaves in warm tones of cinnamon, rose, and soft green. This unique rosette-forming variety adds a whimsical flair to containers, windowsills, and succulent arrangements with its compact shape and richly colored foliage that intensifies in bright light. Drought-tolerant and easy to grow, 'Churro' thrives in well-draining soil and full to partial sun, making it an ideal choice for low-maintenance, high-impact displays. Whether grown indoors or out, this charming echeveria brings warmth and personality to any plant collection.

Echeveria need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and compact rosette form. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.

Like most succulents, they need great drainage and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

Also known as "Mexican Hens & Chicks", Echeveria can produce new offsets or "chicks" around the base of the mother plant. These chicks can be left to form a tidy cluster or removed and transplanted. Additionally, Echeveria can be propagated from stem cuttings or mature leaves. Look to our for more information.
