    Echeverias are native to the 1,000 to 4,000 foot elevations in remote mountainous regions from Mexico to Argentina. There are about 150 species in this genus... and hybridizers have managed to create hundreds of hybrids.
    They like a lot of direct sun, rich soils, and almost perfect drainage. They will not tolerate wet soils... period.
    This is one plant that really deserves to be researched before you plant one. The more you know about their cultural needs, the better your chances of success.
