About Echeveria Tolimanensis
Echeveria Tolimanensis is a stunning succulent cultivar native to the Hidalgo in Mexico for its gorgeous appearance and low maintenance, belonging to the Echeveria genus in the Crassulaceae family. Echeveria Tolimanensis resembles the little Sedeveria 'Harry Butterfield' with lanceolate blades and a compact rosette arrangement. The oval-shaped cylindrical lime-white to purple-white leaves with distinct grains growing up to 3.6 inches in length and 0.5 inches in diameter form the tight rosette, adding appeal to this cutie. These leaves bear a powdery coating known as farina, protecting this stunner from sunburn. The bell-shaped orangish-reddish blossoms appear on the raceme tidbits in early summer, enhancing the aesthetic value of this cutie.
How to care for Echeveria Tolimanensis
Sun/Location: E. Tolimanensis prefers abundant gentle light during spring and autumn to develop the purplish-white with farina status. Place E. Tolimanensis in a sunny location in south-facing or east-facing locations during spring, autumn, and winter, and provide shade during the summer. Sufficient sunshine with significant temperature differences would deepen the dark patterns on its leaves.
Soil/Pot: E. Tolimanensis typically thrives in a potting mix composed of peat moss and perlite at a 1:1 ratio. E. Tolimanensis parents adjust the amount of perlite based on the humidity level in their local area, using less in dry regions and slightly more in humid regions. As E. Tolimanensis grows remarkably slowly, add release fertilizer to the potting soil mix to provide necessary but not excessive nutrients. Adding too much fertilizer may cause overstimulation, leading to unhealthy growth or damage to this cutie. Pay careful attention to soil composition and nutrient management to ensure optimal growth and maintain the plant's natural beauty.

Watering: Water sparingly in the growing seasons in spring and autumn to maintain the E. Tolimanensis growth. E. Tolimanensis is a slow grower, and if artificially stimulated the rapid growth, the intricate patterns on its leaves may become less pronounced due to the accelerated growth. Therefore, controlled watering is crucial for maintaining the plant's natural beauty and coloration. By providing just the right amount of moisture, the succulent's growth can be regulated, ensuring the gradual development of its stunning and distinctive markings. In addition, this approach can prevent the unsightly stretching of its leaves, which can occur when the succulent plants are over-watered or lack of light.
Humidity: E. Tolimanensis prefers relatively dry conditions and tolerates low to moderate humidity levels. The ideal humidity range is 30%-50%. Avoid overwatering or allowing the potting soil to become waterlogged, resulting in root rot and fungal or bacterial issues. Providing adequate airflow around E. Tolimanensis also helps prevent excess moisture buildup and maintain optimal growing conditions. Click here to learn how humidity effect succulents.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
My order arrived quickly, and I was very happy with my plants. The only downside was I had one plant missing (which they very quickly sent it) and the one plant I wasn't 100% happy with, was the grapto. Bronze, it didnt look anything like the pic. Over all, I will definitely order again☺
I purchased 21 succulents as a surprise gift for my mother. She was ecstatic upon opening her gift. Every succulent was carefully packaged and perfect! We will definitely be purchasing more succulents in the near future!
Echeveria Tolimanensis (Rare)
This tolimanesis came in such perfectcondition and is perfect for any collector. stunning facets and color
So far, a strong and beautiful healthy plant.
It has adapted to my climate and environment efficiently.
It has been in my garden for almost 20 days now and has had no problems, on the contrary, it is noticeable that it is getting stronger and developing. It has already received its first watering and is grateful for it, it has not shed a single leaf and I am more than happy to not see any signs of rot on it.
It has maintained the beautiful "carnicolor" color with which I received it and continues to be abundantly covered in farina.
I am writing this review in mid-autumn and I can say that the climate in my zone 9, almost 10, suits it.
From my current experience, I can recommend it for being an interesting and different specimen
