About the cognition of Red Flowered Echeveria
Today, the editor will elaborate on the introduction of the succulent plant Red Flowered Echeveria. Let's follow the editor to see the specific content about the cognition of Red Flowered Echeveria!
Speaking of Red Flowered Echeveria, the name is not entirely accurate. The flower is very red, but the typical feature should be the purple-red stamina, which is quite evident.
Then, let's break it down. Red Flowered Echeveria actually has two main categories. One is the European Jordan, which generally has a darker skin color, spiky when young, and becomes fluffy as it grows. There are still spikes hidden inside the areoles, and it can be quite painful if pressed carelessly. It easily forms clusters and does not easily grow a single head, somewhat resembling a seedling. For example, the Jordan I had the fortune to take home, without the spikes on the ball, one might mistake it for a seedling of Echeveria. Under strong light, the skin can easily develop spotted light yellow spots, and the ball is not very attractive.
Whenever Jordan is mentioned, it is always associated with large Red Flowered Echeveria. However, Jordan's flower color is also very variable, ranging from almost white to deep purple-red, and many other forms. The stamina also ranges from white to purple-red. For example, the two below are typical white and red Jordan.
Typical Jordan flower:
Open appearance:
White Jordan:
Seedling Jordan, without the spikes on the areoles, it would be mistaken for a seedling. The areoles start to grow hair, and it is estimated that it may bloom next year:
The second category is the Japanese Red Flowered Echeveria, which may have been improved. The Japanese Red Flowered Echeveria is easy to grow into a large single head, and the skin color is lighter. The shape generally looks better than Jordan, but the flower color also has variations in depth. The most common ones are very red, especially the tip of the petals, with purple-red stamina. The skin color can easily develop tiny light yellow spots under strong light.
Japanese Red Flowered Echeveria:
Judging by the flowers alone, I personally feel that Jordan is bigger and more beautiful. However, according to our secular aesthetics, it is generally believed that the Japanese Red Flowered Echeveria ball is more beautiful.
Comparison of flower size:
There is also one called the spiky fish. Both of the above two have spikes. This one is especially called spiky fish because the ball is larger and the spikes are more obvious. The flower color is generally similar to the light-colored Jordan I mentioned. There is no picture here.
Generally, these Red Flowered Echeverias are difficult to set seeds, whether pollinated or self-pollinated. Occasionally, a few seeds can be obtained, but with such a large number of seeds like KK, I wonder if there are any secrets. Rocking mentioned the hybridization of Red Flowered Echeveria, Jordan, and Silver Crown before, which is easier to produce brocade and easier to maintain the red flower shape, and easier to grow large. I have tried it, and it seems also difficult to produce seeds. Since there are few seeds, most are grafted with lateral buds, and few are seedlings. A notable identifying feature is that most seedlings of Red Flowered Echeveria have a red junction between the roots and stems when young, which is quite interesting. Only the seedlings of Red Flowered Echeveria have red roots when young, and they turn color as they grow older, while the roots of lateral buds are not red.
The above sharing of the cognition of Red Flowered Echeveria and small green plant experiences may bring you help in life!
