Echeveria purpusorum

	*Echeveria purpusorum*	CACTUS ART NURSERY Cultivation and Mail Sale of Cacti and Succulents.

Echeveria purpusorum is one of the slow-growing Echeverias and it is necessary to cultivate it for many years to get a nice specimen .

Family: Crassulaceae

Origin: Southern Mexico

Rarely offsetting, it has greatly thickened, drought-resisting leaves with nice dark edges and small red spots.

Growth habit: Succulent rosettes up to 6 cm in diameter, usually solitary but occasionally an older plant can produce some basal proliferation.

Propagation: Usually by seeds, but If the plant is repotted some of the bottom leaves can be removed, in order to attempt leaf propagation, it is also a common practice to collect the leaves on the flower stem. However this is not one of the easiest species to root, as many such cuttings will dry out without producing a plantlet, but with perseverance it is likely to get a few new plants. Needs good drainage
