Echeveria 'Spruce Oliver' is a rosette succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to Mexico's semi-arid highlands. It evolved in rocky, well-draining terrain where dry spells are common, making it naturally suited to home and garden conditions.
'Spruce Oliver' forms a compact, upright rosette of thick, fleshy leaves in green with warm red to coral-tipped edges, particularly when exposed to bright light. The leaves are smooth with a subtle powdery coating, and the symmetrical layering gives it the classic form of a succulent. It stays a manageable size, typically 3 to 5 inches across, fitting easily on windowsills, desks, and mixed succulent displays.
'Spruce Oliver' can produce slender arching stems topped with small bell-shaped flowers during warmer months when nighttime temperatures drop. Rotate it regularly so every side develops evenly, and keep it sheltered from rain to prevent leaf rot.
You can leave it up to ten days without water. Move it outside in summer to soak up natural light and good airflow. It is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for households with pets.

Echeveria 'Spruce Oliver' grows well in bright indirect light, partial sun, or full sun, though it may scorch in intense south-facing windows during peak summer.
Water it deeply every 10 to 14 days in summer, reducing to once every 3 to 4 weeks in winter when growth slows.
'Spruce Oliver' does best in a gritty, fast-draining mix of cactus soil blended with perlite or coarse sand at roughly 50/50.
It prefers temperatures between 60 and 80°F and should be brought indoors before frost threatens.
