Echeveria agavoides 'Lipstick' Care & Propagation

Echeveria agavoides ‘Lipstick’ also known as the ‘Red Edge’ is just one of the many cultivars of highly variable Echeveria agavoides, which is native to Mexico.
The rosette grows on low stalk, close to the ground. Individual plants can reach approximately 20cm/8in in diameter and 15cm/4in in height, when grown in ideal conditions.
Lipstick grows a good amount of offsets and forms clumps. Each offset will then go on to produce offsets of their own. A clump can measure well over 40cm/16in in diameter. For clumps to grow to this size though, the plant will have to have decent space and good nutrients to fuel all that extra growth.
The leaves form a symmetrical rosette shape. They are long, wide and pointy. Unlike many other Echeveria, agavoides don’t produce the dusty farina but instead have shiny, almost wax-polished look. Echeveria agavoides are, for this reason, also called ‘molded wax agave’.
The colour can change throughout the year based on seasons, temperature and sun exposure. During the warmer months Lipstick will be almost entirely green but can have a bit of that red edge going. Once the cold season comes along the leaves will grow bright red around the edges, almost looking like someone smeared them with a blood-red lipstick.
In this video we'll have a further look into how to care for Echeveria Lipstick including watering, best potting medium, growing position, temperature tolerance and pests.
Furthermore, propagation techniques like leaf propagation will be looked at.

This is my favorite succulent however I have a difficult time growing it here in Florida, USA. Summers are soooooo hot and humid and rainy. But I know that they can be grown here as my neighbor has one growing outside year around. I am not giving up. Your tips are so very helpful. Thanks.

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

The humidity+rain combo is a bugger. When it's very rainy an unsealed terracotta pot may help a little with getting rid of water. Wishing you all the luck in the universe with the next one 🤞💚

Good vdo again. I had struggle growing lipstick initially. At present am waiting for them to produce some off sets. We dnt get agavoides easily where i stay. What shd be the ideal PH of succulent soil mix?

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

The range is about 4.5-6.5. When i get mine done the company always sends me report and it's around the 6 mark. They like it slightly acidic. Good luck with the babies- hope she'll give you loads 🙂

[@swatigokhale9495]

@@SucculentGrowingTips Thank you. Since we dnt get good quality succulent soil mix i have been mixing my own. Now i need to find out how to strike the 6 ph. Some good studying of the ingredients that go in is needed now.

I have 2 of the lipstick for almost a year, everything to favour for succulents. But it doesn’t seem growing at all. Unlike Agavoides Mira which grow twice the size. What happens. Newcastle AU

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

It could be the potting mix or the pot. For me personally- repotting into a big pot always gets them going. They can get pretty big but won't grow well when rootbound. Now we're in spring they should start growing well 🤞
