Born in Mexico
The Echeveria belongs to the family of the Crassulaceae and grows in the North-East of Mexico. This part of Mexico consists mainly of deserts with barren hilly landscapes. Here the Echeveria grows against a rocky background. Mexico is about 47 times larger than the Netherlands and because of the great diversity in landscapes the climate also varies greatly. This Echeveria is sometimes also called the rosette succulent and has the most divergent and amazing coloured leaves of all succulents.
Care
The Echeveria likes a sunny place, but half shadow is also not a problem.
Therefore it can be put in almost any place in the house you like: from the window sill on the south side to the bathroom.
In the summer months the Echeveria can be put outside on a sunny terrace or balcony. The plant only needs a little water and therefore can do without for a fairly long period of time.
Once a month moderate watering, preferably from the bottom, is sufficient.

Environmentally friendly grown
Sustainable business practices are becoming more and more important and this is expressed in the environmentally-friendly manner in which these succulents are cultivated:
“Growing better, respecting the environment”!
Pure Succulents makes use of environmentally-friendly cultivation and packaging materials as well.
Recycled cultivation pot
The plastic cultivation pot consists of 100% recycled material. In other words, the cultivation pot is made from waste products that have been re-used.
FSC
The products are packed and transported in a cardboard tray, which has received the FSC certificate of approval. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organisation that promotes the responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC talks of responsible forest management when the social, ecological and economical aspects of forestry are balanced. This means that for every tree that is cut down a new tree will be planted.
Pure Succulents has a number of certifications in the area of environment and durability:
MPS-A
MPS-ABC is a unique standard in the world. It works like a measure that shows to what extent a company is environmentally friendly. MPS-ABC consists of various levels: MPS-A, MPS-B and MPS-C. Pure Succulents has the MPS-A status, which stands for the most environmentally friendly business.
MPS-GAP
Supermarkets want to purchase safe, durably cultivated, qualitatively good and traceable products. The European supermarket organisations (EUREP) have actually drawn up a number of criteria for this (GlobalGAP). The MPS-GAP certificate shows that Pure Succulents complies with these criteria.
- Minimal use of weedkillers and fertilisers.
- 100% re-circulated water, so no draining to the outside. Water disinfected via a UV filter, so all water and fertilisers are re-used.
- Cultivators search for disease and pests weekly, so any starting attacks on the plants are noticed almost right away and can be combated on a small scale, therefore needing less weedkiller
- The plants are cultivated without the use of gas (zero gas) so there is no CO2 emission (zero CO2). All because the greenhouses are heated with residual heat.
