Echeveria utcubambensis

Echeveria utcubambensis is a Peruvian Echeveria named for the Utcubamba valley in Amazonas, northern Peru. The measured climate is hot and humid, but the grid sites are low (300-900 m) and probably warmer than the valley slopes where the plant grows. Grow it in bright light and keep it warm, with a drier spell in the southern winter.
