Description

Echeveria lola is an exquisite succulent. Its leaves exude a grayish-blue color with a slight hint of pink – sometimes a greenish hue – that make Echeveria lola alluring and elegant at the same time. Each leaf appears to showcase an intricate design that some horticulturists would describe as resembling a curly bracket. In the spring and summertime, the succulent will bloom beautiful bell-shaped flowers that are colored yellow or pear. The flowers stand atop tall and spindly stems which tend to attract many insects. Echeveria lola also produces offsets or “pups” in the summer. Like other varieties of Echeveria, lola is sometimes called “Mexican Hens and Chicks” because it produces offsets. Perhaps the most distinguishable name is Lola Succulent. It can grow to a height of 6" and comes from the Crassulaceae family. It is native to Mexico. Echeveria lola grows best when given partial to light sun. If planted outdoors, place Echeveria lola in an area that receives up to 6 hours of the morning sun. It is not cold-hardy. Echeveria lola is used to the harsh environment of the desert which means it can survive long periods without water. Overwatering the succulent will present more problems than under-watering. Before watering Lola Succulent, make sure the soil is completely drenched of moisture. Insert a stick into the soil. If the stick comes out dry, it is time to give the plant water. When watering, avoid getting the rosettes wet. You should water at the ground level and never from overhead.
