The Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy' Crested

 
 
The Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy' Crested is a variation of the standard 'Topsy Turvy,' distinguished by its unique growth pattern known as "cresting." In this form, the plant develops a wave-like or ridged structure that results from abnormal growth in the meristem, the tissue responsible for the plant’s growth. This causes the leaves to fuse together, forming a fan-shaped or undulating appearance at the top of the plant.
The crested form of Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy' maintains the same striking blue-gray coloration of its leaves, often with hints of pink or lavender. The crested growth can create a more sculptural and intricate look, making it a highly sought-after specimen among succulent enthusiasts.
Like the standard version, the crested form prefers bright, indirect sunlight, well-draining soil, and minimal watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This combination of unique shape and low maintenance care makes the Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy' Crested a beautiful addition to succulent collections and gardens.
