Echeveria Gilva Cristata is a unique cultivar of Echeveria known for its distinctive growth pattern, characterized by crested or undulating rosettes. This cristate form, caused by a genetic mutation, results in a sculptural and ornamental appearance, making it a prized addition to succulent collections and arrangements. Flowers: During the growing season, Echeveria 'Gilva' may produce tall, slender flower stalks topped with clusters of bell-shaped flowers. The flowers can range in color from shades of pink, red, orange, or yellow, adding additional beauty to the plant.
Water Needs: Moderate; water when the soil is dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot, especially in winter.
