Echeveria ‘Orange Monroe’ is a small succulent plant from the Crassulaceae family, belonging to the Echeveria genus. It is a hybrid of Echeveria ‘Carola’ and Echeveria laui. Its spoon-shaped, thick leaves are coated with white farina, and the leaf edges often display an orange-red hue, making it highly ornamental.

Plant Features
 • Leaves: Spoon-shaped, thick, and coated with white farina. Leaf edges are usually orange-red, adding vibrant color. As older leaves fall off, the stem may elongate, forming a thick trunk-like base topped with rosettes.
 • Flowers: Blooms from late spring to early summer. Flowers emerge from the leaf axils in a bell-shaped form with orange-red petals.

Growth Habits:

Orange Monroe thrives in cool, well-lit environments with plenty of sunlight. Its active growing seasons are spring and autumn. It enters dormancy during the high temperatures of summer and the low temperatures of winter. During dormancy, avoid watering the plant. If it becomes too dry, mist it lightly, ensure good ventilation, and provide some shade. Spraying a small amount of water on the soil surface once a week can help prevent root death.

In winter, gradually reduce watering to keep the soil dry, enhancing the plant’s cold resistance. The main propagation methods for Orange Monroe are leaf cuttings or stem cuttings through beheading.
