Echeveria 'Melaco' (Succulents)

Wonderful cultivar whose Portuguese name refers to molasses, sweetener of a bright color very similar to this succulent. Characterized by a typical compact and not very large rosette shape, it usually grows at the apex of a robust and woody stem, showing all its splendor with roundish and slightly pointed leaves at the apex, softly concave like a spoon. The epidermis of E. 'Melaco' is its real strength: from the delicate bright green center the foliage tends to fade towards a purple red until becoming, when abundantly exposed to sunlight, a chocolate-like shade, extremely peculiar and pleasant. A particularly shiny epidermis ontributes to its originality, reflecting under the sunlight, for a final effect that is that of an absolutely brilliant and showy plant, such as not to go unnoticed!
