Echeveria 'Madiba' is a captivating succulent, renowned for its striking rosette form and distinctive ruffled leaves. It is a hybrid cultivar, reportedly originating from Spain or bred by Korean gardeners. The name 'Madiba' honors Nelson Mandela, whose clan name was also Madiba.
 
Leaves: Broad, fleshy leaves that are typically dusty green to soft purple.
Edges: Heavily frilled and undulating leaf edges. Younger plants may have straighter margins, with the waviness becoming more pronounced with maturity.
Colour: Often displays pink tones in bright light, and can develop shades of orange when exposed to bright sunlight.
Farina: While it has a light white powdery coating (farina), the pastel colors are not primarily due to it.
Rosette: Forms a solitary rosette that can reach up to 30 cm in diameter. 
 
 
This succulent thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun but should be protected from harsh midday sun. It is drought-tolerant, requiring infrequent watering using the "soak and dry" method, and even less during winter.
Well-draining soil, such as a cactus and succulent mix amended with sand or perlite, is essential.
Fertilise monthly in spring and summer with a diluted succulent fertilizer, but avoid fertilizing in autumn and winter.
Ideal temperatures are between 18–26°C; avoid temperatures below 5°C and cold drafts.
It prefers low humidity and good air circulation.
The plant is non-toxic to pets and humans.
Pruning is not necessary; simply remove dead foliage.
Repotting is recommended every 2–3 years or when the plant outgrows its container.
Propagation is primarily done through cuttings, including leaf cuttings or offsets. 
 
This plant is supplied in an 11cm pot and the plant is approximately 10-15cm tall, including the pot.
