Due to a rare mutation in the apical meristem, or growth center, of the plant, Echeveria ‘Corduroy’ cristata features a broad, low growing mound of bright green leaves that each sport a long and narrow shape. As if Echeveria ‘Corduroy’ cristata was not already enough of a standout specimen, each of these leaves is tipped in a soft red spine, the color of which will only deepen when exposed to bright light!

Despite its rarity and exotic appearance, caring for ‘Corduroy’ cristata is similar to caring for any other Echeveria agavoides variety – which is to say, it is quite simple! Bright light will yield the best coloration and most active growth, while thorough but infrequent watering will protect against issues such as rot and pests. Be sure to utilize a porous soil mixture, paired with a well-draining pot, and provide ample airflow around the leaves and soil surface.

While ‘Corduroy’ cristata is an overall robust plant, take care to handle it gently when repotting, so as not to break apart its uniquely clustered growth. In the winter months, it must also be shielded from frosty temperatures, to avoid scarring to the leaves.

All plants are shipped bare-root with the exception of House Plants and Plant Club Subscription Boxes. House plants and succulents will ship from separate locations and may arrive at different times. Orders ship Monday-Friday each week. Please allow 1-3 business days for your order to be processed. We ship within the USA and its outlying territories ONLY. Read our full policy here.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
