The Echeveria Lola is part of a family known as Crassulaceae, from Mexico or Central America. Where other succulents typically have green leaves, Echeveria Lola’s leaves are a delicate shade of light purple or may appear to be a mix of gray and blue hues. Her leaves grow in the shape of a rosette, with overlapping leaves that appear to grow out of a heart. Another element that adds to its beauty is the thick layer of epicuticular wax that is found on the leaves. This is known as farina and makes the plant look as though it is covered in translucent wax resembling alabaster.
Like most echeverias, Lola is drought tolerant. Wait until the soil is completely dry before watering and then water deeply.Always water at the ground level and never from overhead.Watering the rosette may cause problems with root rot.
