Echeveria halbingeri

Echeveria halbingeri is a succulent perennial herb in the family Crassulaceae, native to a small part of the central Mexican highlands.

Description

Despite its small distribution area, Echeveria hyalina is a favorite of many growers of succulent plants. Often it is sold commercially under the name of Mexican Snowball. Plant growers especially appreciate its small size and its coloring; its leaves are covered in a sort of delicately opaque, gray-greenish hue tinged with pink-purplish along the edges.

In the wild, Echeveria halbingeri occurs on rocky slopes in poor soil, and on and around rocks.

Echeveria hyalina is known to occur naturally only in the central highland mountains of the Mexican states of Hidalgo, Querétaro and Veracruz.
