Echeveria Trumpet Pinky

About Echeveria Trumpet Pinky

If you're enthusiastic about rare Korean succulents, Echeveria Trumpet Pinky may fascinate you. Echeveria Trumpet Pinky, a mutation variant of Echeveria Pinky, which is, furthermore, a hybrid of Echeveria peacockii 'desmetiana', originally comes from Korea. The succulent is also dramatically called Piggy Nose. It inherited the lovely nickname because its former stretched leaves turn into tubular forms, making every single leaf a nose-like trumpet. Despite being named pinky, the succulent only sometimes remains pink once it's exposed to enough sunlight and temperature stress. This is because the farina stuck on it can protect from sunburn. Wrinkling around its edges is another identification of this plant.
