Echeveria x Karl-von-Nurnberg
This plant is named as another of the clones from the Graessner 'stables' but there is no proof that the name is valid. The leaves are a superb colour especially in the winter. It has a somewhat lax habit, the stems trail as the plant grows.
CULTIVATION is somewhat difficult due to the large rosettes becoming detached from the weak stems.
High light conditions help.
PROPAGATION consists of periodically beheading the plant and starting over. Offsets do occasionally develop these are fairly easy to root.

Echeveria x Perle-von-Nurnberg
One of the best 'von Nurnberg' hybrid clones produced from crossing E.gibbiflora metallica with E. potosina originated by Graessner, Perleberg, Germany. It is difficult to be sure of the validity of names as cultivation and seasonal variations produce changes of colour and form.
CULTIVATION easy good light improves the colour.

Normal succulent compost with high potash is OK.
PROPAGATION is easy from from leaves, cuttings, and offsets. Plants produced from leaves will often make very nice clumps. It is best to start new plants every 2 or 3 years to maintain good stock.
