Echeveria Zaragoza Pink
Echeveria cuspidata var. zaragozae · Native to Mexico
A neat, symmetrical rosette of silvery-green leaves tipped in rosy pink and finished with a fine point. A tidy, collectible little echeveria — and pet-friendly.
Available in 4½ inchCare
Light
Thrives in bright, indirect to direct light, which keeps the rosette compact and brings out the rosy-pink leaf tips. Low light causes stretching and fades the color.
Water
Water only when the soil is completely dry. It stores moisture in its fleshy leaves and is highly drought-tolerant — use a pot with good drainage to avoid root rot.
Soil & Feeding
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent soil, and fertilize lightly once a month during spring and summer.
Quick Tip
Water at the soil line rather than into the rosette — water pooling in the center can cause rot.

Plant Bio
Echeveria cuspidata var. zaragozae
Zaragoza Pink is a variety of Echeveria cuspidata, a rosette succulent native to Mexico. The zaragozae variety comes from the Zaragoza area and is prized by collectors for its crisp form and color.
It forms a neat, symmetrical rosette of broad, silvery blue-green leaves, each drawn to a fine point (“cuspidate” means “pointed”) and tipped with rosy pink. The combination of cool silver leaves and warm pink points gives it a clean, elegant look.
It stays compact and tidy, slowly offsetting over time, and can send up arching stalks of bell-shaped flowers in the warmer months. Its small size makes it ideal for windowsills and mixed dish gardens.
Care is classic echeveria: bright light for color and compactness, gritty soil, and water only once the soil has dried out.
What makes it special?
- Silvery leaves with sharp, rosy-pink points give it an elegant, distinctive look.
- It stays compact and very symmetrical.
- Like other echeverias, it’s easy and pet-friendly.
Note: Echeverias are generally considered non-toxic and pet-safe, but are grown for ornament rather than eating. Water carefully — overwatering is the main risk.
