Echeveria runyonii ‘Topsy Turvy’ is a unique and eye-catching succulent known for its distinctive, twisted, and contorted leaves. The leaves are pale silvery-blue to light green and are arranged in a rosette form, curving upward and inward, giving the plant its “topsy-turvy” appearance. This plant is popular for its unusual look and easy care, making it a favorite among succulent enthusiasts.

Care Tips for Echeveria runyonii ‘Topsy Turvy’:

1. Light:
   • Echeveria ‘Topsy Turvy’ thrives in bright, direct sunlight. It needs at least 6 hours of sunlight per day to maintain its compact shape and vibrant color. Indoors, a sunny windowsill, preferably facing south or west, is ideal.
2. Watering:
   • Water the plant thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Like most succulents, ‘Topsy Turvy’ is drought-tolerant and prefers the “soak and dry” method. Be careful to avoid waterlogging, as this can cause root rot. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant is dormant.
3. Soil:
   • Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. You can improve drainage by adding perlite, sand, or pumice to the soil. Proper drainage is crucial to prevent water from accumulating around the roots.
4. Temperature:
   • This succulent prefers warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). It can tolerate cooler temperatures down to around 40°F (4°C), but it is not frost-tolerant. Protect the plant from frost by bringing it indoors or covering it during cold weather.
5. Fertilizing:
   • Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted succulent fertilizer. Over-fertilizing can lead to leggy growth and affect the plant’s compact form.
6. Propagation:
   • Echeveria ‘Topsy Turvy’ can be easily propagated through offsets (pups), leaf cuttings, or stem cuttings. Allow the cuttings to callous over for a few days before planting them in well-draining soil. They should root within a few weeks.
7. Pests:
   • This plant is relatively resistant to pests but can occasionally be affected by mealybugs or aphids. Regularly check the plant and treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Display Ideas:

• Rock Gardens: Its unique shape makes it a standout in rock gardens or xeriscapes.
• Container Gardens: Pair with other succulents for an interesting and varied display.
• Indoor Decor: Use as a tabletop plant or windowsill display to bring a touch of nature indoors.
• Fairy Gardens: Its unusual form makes it a great addition to whimsical or themed gardens.
