Echeveria x pulv-oliver E.
Walther
A very nice hybrid produced by Victor Reiter,
Jr., by crossing E. pulvinata with E. harmsii, formerly known as Oliveranthus
elegans. It is an attractive plant with most parts covered with fine
hairs. The stems are reddish brown, leaves are very colourful in late
winter and spring. The flowers are 7/10mm Ø and 12/16 mm long. Growth
is a sub shrub which tends to get leggy in time, so I prune the tops
and

root then plant the cuttings together
in the pot.
Easy to grow and propagate, the plant will
flower
several times a year without too much trouble.
The winter conditions should be be plenty of light and enough
water to stop drying out at a temperature of 4/5ºC, this will ensure
development of winter flower buds.
New plants can be produced from stem cuttings or leaves in Spring and
early summer.
