Origin
The Echeveria Macarena is a member of the Crassulaceae family and originally hails from Mexico. This plant is named after the Macarena dance, perhaps due to its attractive and eye-catching appearance. The plant mainly occurs in areas with a desert climate, where it has adapted to the dry, warm conditions.

Characteristics
The Echeveria Macarena is distinctive due to its bright green, thick, fleshy leaves. These leaves take on the shape of a rosette and with good sunlight exposure, the tips of the leaves can turn a beautiful pinkish-red colour. The plant also produces beautiful orange, bell-shaped flowers on long, slender stems.

Care
The Echeveria Macarena requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for beginner plant enthusiasts. It requires full sun to maintain its vibrant colour but also thrives in partial shade. Well-draining soil is essential to prevent root rot and the plant only needs watering sporadically, mainly during the growing seasons of spring and summer. During the winter, it hardly needs watering. Another crucial aspect of the care for the Echeveria Macarena is that it needs to be protected from excessive moisture and frost, as both factors can damage the plant.
