Echeveria purpusorum

Echeveria purpusorum is a small, slow-growing Mexican Echeveria with a tight rosette and thick pointed leaves. The foliage is usually deep olive green to grey-green, marked with reddish-brown mottling that gives the plant a dark, patterned look.

The rosette stays compact and develops slowly, with pointed leaf tips, firm fleshy blades and irregular markings across the leaf surface. In a pot, it forms a dense miniature rosette with pointed leaves and mottled surfaces.

Small rosette features

  • Growth habit: Forms a tight, low rosette with thick leaves arranged close to the centre.
  • Leaf pattern: Olive to grey-green leaves are marked with reddish-brown speckles, patches or edging.
  • Slow development: Builds size gradually and keeps a compact footprint in a container.
  • Flowering: Mature plants can produce reddish to orange-toned flowers with yellow detail.
  • Species background: Native to dry shrubland habitats in Puebla and Oaxaca, Mexico.

Dry habitat and compact growth

This Mexican species is recorded from Puebla to Oaxaca, where it grows as a succulent subshrub in desert or dry shrubland biome conditions. Its thick leaves, dense rosette and modest growth rate need brightness, mineral drainage and long dry intervals.

The old synonym Urbinia purpusii reflects the plant’s historically distinct look among Echeveria: a dense, nearly stemless rosette with broad, pointed leaves and mottled surfaces. The thick leaves and small rosette need careful watering, a small pot, a fast-drying root zone and light feeding during active growth.

Dry, bright care for Echeveria purpusorum

  • Light: Give very bright light with gentle direct sun after acclimation. The tight rosette opens and stretches when the plant sits too dim.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the substrate to dry completely. The slow growth rate means moisture use can be modest indoors.
  • Substrate: Use a gritty, mineral-heavy succulent mix. Fine, moisture-retentive soil increases the risk of root and crown rot.
  • Potting: Keep in a small pot with drainage holes. A snug container helps the substrate dry at a pace that suits the compact root system.
  • Temperature: Keep above 10 °C and protect from frost. Winter growth should stay on the dry side with as much light as possible.
  • Humidity: Normal dry indoor air is usually suitable. Avoid trapped moisture between the tight leaves.
  • Feeding: Feed sparingly during active growth. Heavy fertilising can weaken the compact rosette shape.
  • Propagation: Offsets, when produced, can be separated after they have formed their own roots. Let wounds dry before potting.

Problems in tight miniature rosettes

  • Open, loose growth: A stretched rosette points to low light. Increase brightness gradually to protect older leaves from scorch.
  • Soft centre: Moisture trapped in the tight crown can cause rot. Water the substrate directly and keep the rosette dry.
  • Sudden leaf collapse: Check roots for rot if several leaves soften at once while the soil is damp.
  • Deep wrinkling: Severe wrinkling after a long dry period means stored water is low. Rehydrate with a full watering once drainage is confirmed.
  • Hidden pests: Mealybugs can sit in the leaf axils. Inspect carefully because the patterned leaves can hide early colonies.

Safety around pets and children

Echeveria purpusorum has smooth, fleshy leaves and no spines. Keep the plant away from pets and children that chew leaves, and clear away detached leaves during routine care.

Spelling and botanical background

The spelling Echeveria purpusorum is widely used in cultivation, while the accepted botanical spelling is Echeveria purpusiorum A.Berger. Urbinia purpusii Rose is an older synonym. The epithet honours the Purpus collectors, and the plant belongs to Crassulaceae, the stonecrop family.

Echeveria purpusorum forms a small dark rosette with mottled, thick pointed leaves.

Switching back to Paula’s choice
While I like the all natural ingredients, I switched back to Paula’s Choice instead. In my opinion, I think it works better.

The Best Clean Beauty Facial Sun Screen!
This spring I tried four different clean beauty facial sunscreens. This is my favorite. First, it goes on with a light tint that rubs in, which moisturizers and becomes a primer for my bare minerals powder foundation makeup. Absolutely no flacking after applying the powder. (Many times if I am just out walking, playing pickleball or working in my garden I just wear this and skip the makeup) Second, the scent is so nice and light. Third, and actually most importantly is the rating on Yuka of excellent and that it works very well in the sun. I have worked hard to find only clean beauty products for my skin and I so appreciate of companies that provide them at an affordable price. I highly recommend this sunscreen.

Very thick but it's great otherwise as a light indoors sunscreen
I didn't mean to buy two, so definitely gonna return one. Two ounces, but for $12 that's pretty decent! Looks like this is mostly made for just the face and neck, so if you use it for your whole body then yeah, not worth the price. But just for the face? This will last me a long time. Most nice face sunscreens are like $20 for 1.5oz so $12 for 2oz is great. I didn't pay enough attention and saw that it was SPF 30 once it got here. Which has me very confused because there's 24% zinc in it. That's almost the cap. Much higher SPF products have half that amount. It also has other plant extracts which are said to boost spf so I really don't get why this is so low. I'm hoping the ppd at least is high, even though we have no way of really knowing with American sunscreens and even companies who do measure are greedy with that information and refuse to tell. So we are left guessing most of the time. But, SPF is UVB rays. UV-burning. Ppd is UVA. UV-aging. Apparently American sunscreens have terrible UVA protection, or they just don't tell us at all. So the fact a few people in here were saying they were tanning through this sunscreen shows me that perhaps it's not very high, or that this is more of an incidental "I'm not going outside too much" sunscreen. Which, not surprising. SPF 30 lol. Its very thick and moisturizing, so this seems like it would be the perfect winter sunscreen when the UV index is low and the air is dry. Its also difficult to find tinted sunscreens for very fair skin. And on the off chance there is one, it's usually either too dark anyway, or has an orange tint. This one may be a sunscreen not best for darker skin types but man is the tint perfect for the palest of us! It has light coverage too. I mean my flaws aren't blurred or anything but my acne scars are a bit lighter colored. And the great thing about tint, is it gives protection again VL/visible light. Only tinted sunscreens offer that extra bit of protection. I just wish the spf were higher! It also has a very light orangey smell. Also is water proof. So they say. It washed off a bit too easy for me to believe that though. All in all it's a nice sunscreen. But I don't think I will re-purchase this once I run out in the warmer months, though I may consider it again once fall hits.

Clean ingredients, great price, but...
I want to love this product but I personally can't stand the oily texture and the smell. Maybe if you have super dry skin it will feel great on your skin PROS: The ingredients are great! super clean, the percentage of zinc oxide is perfect and almost the highest % recommended by dermatologists, so it protects the skin really well, no white cast because it's slightly tinted (a little cast at the beginning then it fades away) CONS (in my skin): it leaves my face super oily I have to use rice paper after I apply it to absorb the oiliness [sigh], I don't like the smell it bothers me a lot, it smells like old makeup.

Perfect Everyday Tinted Face Sunscreen
I am a long-time user of Think body sunscreen and tried this to replace my current department store tinted face sunscreen, which is being discontinued. I was amazed how well this performed, given the low price! It is literally 1/4 of the cost of my current face sunscreen and I am almost as happy with it! It was much lighter in tint than I was expecting, but blended easily and provided more "cosmetic" coverage than my current tinted face sunscreen, but without looking making me look made-up. My skin is light with reddish undertones, and it really helped to tone the red down as well, an unexpected bonus. That said, I typically use make up that is either the 2nd (or occasionally 3rd) from the fairest shade in the line, regardless of brand, and I am not sure how well this product would work on someone whose skin is even a little darker than mine, without being obvious. It is definitely too light for my sons, who have more olive-toned complexions. This product is highly moisturizing, and does take about 10 minutes to "set" before I feel comfortable applying powder to cover up the shine it leaves (a little more than a "glow"). Its efficacy is excellent--I really put it to the test outdoors and was pleased to see I had not to picked up any color from the sun when I washed it off. The other big plus is that it did not make me break out, and I have what my dermatologist calls, "reactive skin," which means anything from chemicals in face products to the hairdryer at the salon have been known to set it off. Finally, like their body sunscreen this face sunscreen gets a safety rating of "1" from the Environmental Working Group. I think I have found a winner!
