⭐️ Product Description
Scientific Name Echeveria (Echeverría's Plant) 'Culibra' (Snake-like)
Common Name Echeveria Culibra, Echeveria Culebra
Origin Remote, mountainous terrain ranging from Mexico to Argentina
Description This stunning variety of succulent stands out thanks to its delicate colouring, in a gradient from pale green to dusky violet as the leaves age. The fronds of the succulent are also intricately textured, with the crinkled surface of the leaves helping it to really stand out. And as a bonus, all this comes in a plant which will appreciate less watering- as a succulent, your Echeveria will want to dry out between waters!
Light Thrives best in bright light; will love your brightest windowsill (try South-facing if in doubt!). If its crown starts to be discoloured white, your Echeveria needs more light!
Water Allow all the soil to dry out between watering; reduce further in winter to let it have a dormancy period. If your Echeveria is in a less bright spot, make sure to water it even less frequently, and make sure no water setles inside the crown of the plant where it can cause rot.
Humidity Low humidity is perfect for echeveria; a hose down to clean now and again is fine as long as the plant dries and doesn't sit damp.
Soil Needs a well-draining pot and potting mix; look for specific 'cacti and succulent' soils with plenty of sand and other well-draining materials. Repot every couple of years as the plant grows.
Food Feed every two months in the growing season, and every three in autumn and winter. Use 'cactus & succulent' labelled feed for best results.
Temperature Likes temperatures of 15-25°C; on the warmer end in spring-summer and let it be 5°C cooler in its autumn-winter dormancy period.
Pet-safe Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant!
Sprouts Top Tips Echeveria produce pups- so keep an eye out for miniature versions of your plant growing off the stem or out of the root which you could propagate!

Sprouts of Bristol is expanding with the launch of Sprouts HQ – a new South Bristol premises that will house a dedicated packing space for online orders, an office, studio, and more room for rare and exciting plants. While the Kingsdown shop remains open as usual, the new HQ allows Sprouts to grow behind the scenes and offer even better service both in-store and online. This blog post shares the story behind the move, what customers can expect, and how to keep supporting this independent plant shop through the transition.
Join Sprouts of Bristol for terrarium, kokedama, and Christmas wreath workshops this autumn–winter. Creative, plant-filled fun in the heart of Bristol!
