pearls™ Echeveria Olive Pearl Echeveria

Olive Pearl is an Echeveria × gilva selection in Ovata’s Pearls range, recognized by its grey-green, waxed rosette and dark red leaf tips. The Royal Horticultural Society records the trade selection as ‘Ovpearls07’, and its plant patent describes the same leaf color and margin traits.

Its foliage provides the main display, so place the pot where its shape and contrasting leaf edges can be seen close up. Ovata lists Olive Pearl in its own Echeveria range. [Ovata succulent range](https://www.ovata.nl/en/succulents/) ## Placement and growing conditions Grow in bright, filtered light and a porous cactus or succulent compost in a container with drainage holes. Water thoroughly, then let the compost approach dryness before watering again; reduce watering in winter. A bright outdoor position can suit it in warm weather, but bring it under cover before frost and avoid leaving the rosette cold and wet. These are general Echeveria growing requirements. [RHS Echeveria guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/echeveria) ## Maintenance Remove dry lower leaves carefully and keep water out of the rosette’s centre. Check the compost rather than watering to a fixed calendar, since light and temperature change how quickly a pot dries.
