| General Description | Echeveria setosa is an evergreen succulent with spoon-shaped green leaves covered in dense white hairs forming low-lying, stemless rosettes. Small red and yellow flowers are formed in racemes. |
| Propagation | Quickly and easily propagated by rosette cuttings; stem or leaf cuttings are slower. I have found it beneficial to allow the rosette and stem cuttings to suberise for several days prior to placing them in a flat of cactus mix. |
| Cultivation | Grow in full light and low humidity under glass in standard cactus compost kept moist. During late spring and summer apply a dilute low nitrogen fertilizer every two weeks. Set plants outside in summer. In the winter season, keep almost dry. |
| Pests | Possible pests include: vine weevils, aphids and mealybugs. Plants are generally disease-free. |
| Notable Specimens | The Devonian Botanic Garden, Devon, Alberta, The Memorial University of Newfoundland Botanical Garden, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. |
| Leaf Description | Green, spoon-shaped, covered in dense white hairs. |
| Flower Description | In mid to late summer it produces a 30 cm flower spike bearing attractive, small, bell-shaped, red and yellow blooms, with many to a stem. |
