Echeveria "Hera" variegated – Origin: Asia
The Echeveria “Hera” variegated is the variegated version of this hybrid created by Air Magic, resulting from the crossing of a hybrid of Echeveria purpusorum and Echeveria ‘Afterglow’. It maintains a compact rosette but with a greater opening than purpusorum, combining a firm structure with broader and slightly rounded leaves, where the influence of ‘Afterglow’ on the volume and overall elegance of the plant is clearly appreciated.
The Echeveria “Hera” variegated stands out for its variegation in cream and soft green tones that blend with a strong pink to reddish pigmentation on the edges and surface, especially under good lighting. This combination generates a very powerful contrast between the dusty base and the intense margins, providing a very striking visual effect without losing the harmony of the rosette.It is a particularly attractive variety among variegated hybrids due to its balance between compact structure and intense coloration, making it a standout piece in the collection.
⚠️ Attention
These plants come from previously grafted specimens, so they are shipped without a root system. They are completely healthy and viable plants, but they will require new rooting at the destination. We recommend planting them in very well-draining substrate, keeping them in a bright environment without direct sunlight, and avoiding watering until they start to emit roots.

Variegated Echeveria : cultivation and care
Variegated echeverias develop a lower photosynthetic capacity than their completely green counterparts, which directly affects their growth rate, sensitivity to excess sunlight, and tolerance to watering.
- 🌞 A lot of filtered light and soft exposure
- 💧 Water only with the substrate completely dry
- 🔥 Avoid extreme heat and prolonged humidity
- 🌱 Slower growth than non-variegated echeverias
Environmental stability, good ventilation, and avoiding sudden location changes help maintain more compact rosettes and a more stable variegation over time.
During intense summer, they may partially slow down their growth, especially in warm climates. In these phases, controlling excess moisture is much more important than increasing watering frequency.
