Echeveria Runyonii (Topsy Turvy)

Echeveria runyonii, also known as Topsy Turvy or Silver Spoon, is a species of succulent plant native to Mexico. It is a small, slow-growing plant that forms rosettes of fleshy, gray-green leaves with a powdery coating of fine hairs. The leaves are spoon-shaped, about 3-4 cm long and 2-3 cm wide, and have a unique curling or twisting shape that gives the plant its common name, “Topsy Turvy.”

In the summer, Echeveria runyonii produces tall stems that bear clusters of small, yellowish-pink flowers with star-shaped petals. The flowers are held above the rosette on a long stalk and can reach up to 30 cm in height. The plant prefers bright, filtered light and well-draining soil. It is drought-tolerant and can be propagated easily from offsets or leaf cuttings.

Echeveria runyonii is a popular ornamental plant due to its unusual shape and striking appearance. It is commonly grown in containers, rock gardens, or as part of a succulent garden. With proper care, it can be a long-lived and rewarding addition to any collection of succulents.
