Description
Echeveria 'Star Green' is a vibrant succulent that showcases bright green rosettes of fleshy leaves, creating a refreshing and lively appearance. The leaves are thick and slightly pointed, with a touch of pastel green at the centre that adds depth and visual interest. This cultivar is excellent for pots, rock gardens, or as a low-maintenance groundcover in sunny spots, bringing a lush look to both indoor and outdoor settings.
'Star Green' thrives in well-draining, sandy soil and requires minimal watering, making it perfect for Perth’s dry climate. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Feeding with a low-nitrogen succulent fertiliser during the warmer months will support healthy growth. Small yellow flowers may appear in early summer (Birak), adding a charming pop of colour above the green foliage.
