Echeveria gilva

Echeveria × gilva is a garden hybrid named by Eric Walther, not a wild species, so it has no native habitat to copy. Its parentage is not recorded in the sources we could reach. Grow it like the Mexican highland rosette echeverias from which such hybrids were bred: strong light, a gritty mix, cool nights and a drier winter.
