Origin
The Echeveria 'Pollux' is a member of the Crassulaceae family which finds its origin in Mexico. This plant is a hybrid created by growers through selective crossbreeding of various Echeveria species. Despite being primarily native to the dry, desert-like climate of Mexico, this species has adapted to grow in various environments worldwide.

Characteristics
The Echeveria 'Pollux' is characterized by its remarkable wavy, silver-coloured leaves that form in a rosette pattern. The leaves often have a reddish hue at the tips and are covered with a waxy, powdery substance. The plant blooms in late spring and early summer, with orange-red flowers appearing on long stems.

Care
Caring for the Echeveria 'Pollux' requires little water, as this species is a desert plant and can tolerate dry conditions. The plant thrives best in well-draining soil and full to partial sun. Although they can withstand a change in temperature, these plants are not frost-hardy and must be protected from frost. Pests such as aphids and millipedes can be problematic and should be dealt with as soon as possible to maintain the plant's health.
