Echeveria multicolor

A high-Andean Echeveria from the páramo of the Venezuelan Andes in Mérida state, recorded at about 3,300–3,400 m. It lives in a cold, cloudy climate with little change through the year. It will not thrive in a warm house, and cool, bright, steady conditions are the key to growing it.

Where it grows wild

The records come from the páramo and upper montane zone of the Sierra Nevada and Sierra de la Culata in Mérida. There, Andean Echeveria grow among rocks and low shrubs on open slopes. The habitat details are inferred from the locality and elevation, since no species description was reachable.

The two weighted climate sites are at 3,333 m and 3,430 m. Few records carry an elevation.
