Sedeveria - Maialen

Sedeveria 'Maialen' is an attractive intergeneric hybrid, a cross between Sedum and Echeveria, celebrated for its compact rosettes of fleshy, often colorful leaves.  Featuring a central rosette of plump, spoon-shaped leaves with a soft green coloration and subtle pinkish-red tips. The overall appearance is a compact and charming succulent.

 

Key Features of Sedeveria 'Maialen'

  • Compact Rosette: The main plant forms a small, tight rosette of fleshy leaves.
  • Spoon-Shaped Leaves: The leaves are plump, somewhat rounded, and spoon-shaped.
  • Soft Green Coloration: The primary leaf color is a gentle green.
  • Pinkish-Red Tips: The leaf tips exhibit a subtle blush of pinkish-red.
  • Offsets (Chicks): Smaller, tightly packed rosettes (offsets) are visible emerging from the side. These offsets show a lighter green to yellowish-green color.
  • Relatively Small Size: The overall plant appears small and compact, suitable for small containers.
  • Farina (Subtle): A slight powdery coating may be present on some leaves, giving them a soft appearance.

 

Care for Your Sedeveria 'Maialen' (General)

  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight to maintain vibrant colors and compact growth. Some direct morning sun is usually tolerated well.
  • Soil: Requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot. A commercial cactus or succulent mix is ideal.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering. Reduce watering during the dormant winter months.
  • Temperature: Prefers moderate temperatures and is generally frost-hardy down to a certain degree (check specific cultivar hardiness), but protection from severe frost is recommended.
  • Humidity: Adapts well to typical household humidity levels. Good air circulation is beneficial.

Maintenance for a Thriving Plant (General)

  • Removing Dead Leaves: Regularly remove any dead or dried leaves from the base of the rosettes.
  • Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant has outgrown its container. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger with drainage holes.
  • Protecting Farina: If a powdery coating is present, handle the leaves gently.
  • Pest Control: Monitor for common succulent pests like mealybugs and aphids.
  • Fertilizing: Generally does not require heavy feeding. A diluted balanced liquid fertilizer can be applied sparingly during the active growing season.

 

Propagation Methods for Expanding Your Collection (General)

  • Offsets (Chicks): Carefully separate the visible offsets once they have developed some roots. Allow the cut surfaces to callus over before planting.
  • Leaf Cuttings: Select healthy, plump leaves and allow the cut end to callus for several days before placing them on well-draining soil.
  • Stem Cuttings: If the plant develops longer stems, sections can be cut, allowed to callus, and then planted in well-draining soil.

 

Sedeveria 'Maialen', as depicted in the image, is a charming small succulent with soft green, spoon-shaped leaves accented by pinkish-red tips and a cluster of lighter-colored offsets. Its compact form and potential for colorful stress hues make it a delightful addition to any succulent collection.
