You can see right away where the lime comes in, this nice hybrid is a soft and glowing, sea green/lime color in the hallmark Echeveria rosette shape; a perfectly even, hypnotic pattern of swirling, identical leaves. The chili part comes in when wintery stress of cold and brassy bright sun blush the leaf tips a deep, chili reddish orange. Each leaf is otherwise highlighted by a radiant, pale white outline, accentuating the beautiful lotus-like design. Instead of staying mostly flat like some of its kin, Lime and Chili will achieve its 5 or 6" width and begin to rise up, keeping (rather than shedding) its lower leaves to make a sort of pyramid stack, super full and lush, while popping out pups from the lowest part near the soil. These can be separated or left on for a big family complex and also propagation is super easy with any leaf rooting as you lay it on damp soil and wait a bit. Short or long flower pedicels (flower stalks) will rise up from the top bearing pointed (and large for a plant this size) pink and orange buds opening to orangy yellow, little cupped flowers loved by bees, bugs and birdies, You'll love them too.
