Echeveria ‘Trumpet Pinky’

Echeveria ‘Trumpet Pinky’ is a beautiful and unusual succulent prized for its distinctive trumpet-shaped leaves and attractive pink colouring. Its curled, tubular leaves form an eye-catching rosette, displaying shades of soft green, blue-grey and pink, with the pink tones becoming more intense under bright light and favourable growing conditions.

Origin: A cultivated ornamental Echeveria variety, rather than a naturally occurring species.

Rarity: Uncommon and highly sought after by collectors, especially for its unusual leaf shape and striking appearance.

Care: Prefers bright light, well-draining soil and moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Protect from frost and excessive moisture.

An excellent addition to any rare succulent collection.

Astroloba corrugata

Astroloba corrugata is a fascinating and distinctive South African succulent, admired for its tightly arranged, triangular leaves with a characteristic rough, wrinkled texture. The firm, dark green to grey-green leaves grow in compact, upright columns, creating a striking architectural appearance. Slow-growing and highly ornamental, this species is particularly attractive to collectors of unusual South African succulents.

Origin: Indigenous to South Africa, particularly the Little Karoo region of the Western Cape.

Rarity: Uncommon in cultivation and highly desirable among collectors, especially well-grown, mature specimens.

Care: Prefers bright, filtered sunlight or partial shade and a well-draining, mineral-rich soil mixture. Water moderately during active growth, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Avoid excessive moisture and protect from severe frost.

An excellent collector’s plant, valued for its unusual leaf texture, compact growth and distinctive appearance.
