Haworthia Sordida Hybrid

Echeveria ‘Malgan Black Swan’

A striking collector’s Echeveria prized for its beautifully shaped rosette and dramatic colouring. Its thick, pointed leaves develop attractive shades of grey-green, mauve, deep purple and burgundy, with the colours becoming richer under bright light and cooler conditions. The powdery coating on the leaves gives the plant an elegant, almost frosted appearance.

Care: Grow in bright light with some morning sun for the best colour and compact growth. Plant in a very well-draining succulent mix and water thoroughly only once the soil has dried. Protect from prolonged heavy rain and extreme afternoon heat.

Interesting fact: The dramatic dark colouring can change considerably throughout the year, making every season slightly different.

A beautiful and unusual must-have for Echeveria and rare succulent collectors.

Crassula ovata, algemeen bekend as die Jadeplant of Geldboom, is ’n gewilde vetplant wat inheems is aan Suid-Afrika en Mosambiek. Dit het dik, vleisige, ovaalvormige groen blare en ’n houtagtige stingel, en groei dikwels tot ’n klein struik of boom. Die plant produseer klein, stervormige wit of pienk blomme in die winter of vroeë lente.

Crassula ovata floreer in helder lig, goed dreinerende grond en benodig matige water—die grond moet tussen waterings droog word. Dit is maklik om binnenshuis of buite in gematigde klimate te kweek en word geglo om voorspoed en geluk te bring.

Echeveria ‘Malgan Red Swan’

A spectacular collector’s Echeveria with beautifully sculpted, ruffled and twisted foliage. Its fleshy leaves develop attractive shades of green, pink and rich red, with the strongest colours generally appearing under bright light and cooler growing conditions. Mature plants form dramatic rosettes that make an excellent feature in any succulent collection.

🌱 Care: Provide plenty of bright light or gentle morning sun to encourage strong colour and compact growth. Use a fast-draining succulent mix. Water thoroughly and then allow the growing medium to dry before watering again. Protect from prolonged wet conditions and severe frost.

✨ Interesting fact: ‘Red Swan’ is particularly valued for the combination of its unusual curled leaf shape and changing coloration. Each rosette can develop its own distinctive appearance as it matures.

⭐ A must-have for Echeveria collectors looking for something colourful, sculptural and unusual.
