This agavoides variant forms starburst-shaped rosettes up to 7 inches wide, featuring sharply pointed, triangular leaves with a distinct saddle-like central groove. The foliage exhibits a vibrant apple-green base that transitions to fiery crimson margins under sunlight, culminating in near-black tips during winter stress. Mature specimens produce bell-shaped coral flowers on burgundy stalks in late spring. Its geometric precision and chromatic intensity make it a centerpiece specimen for contemporary succulent displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Care for Echeveria agavoides 'Wild Horse'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight: \u003c\/strong\u003eRequires 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal color expression. South-facing exposures are ideal; in USDA zones 9-11, provide 20% shade cloth during summer afternoons (\u0026gt;90°F\/32°C) to prevent leaf scorch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater: \u003c\/strong\u003eWater deeply only when soil is completely dry (typically 14-18 days in summer). Reduce to monthly in winter dormancy. Avoid wetting the leaf center to prevent rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature: \u003c\/strong\u003eThrives in 55-80°F (13-27°C). Tolerates brief frost to 28°F (-2°C) when dry. Prolonged heat above 85°F (29°C) necessitates enhanced airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Potting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant in 70% mineral grit (lava rock\/perlite) mixed with 30% organic matter.

Separate 1.5-inch diameter pups during spring repotting, dry connections for 48 hours, then plant in dry lava grit. Delay watering for 7 days. Maintain 68-75°F (20-24°C) under bright indirect light. Offsets establish in 3-4 weeks, reaching maturity in 8-10 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary color: \u003c\/strong\u003eApple green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary color: \u003c\/strong\u003eCrimson margins with black tips (sun-stressed)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coral with burgundy calyx\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format: \u003c\/strong\u003e4 inch potted plant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCold hardiness: \u003c\/strong\u003eUSDA Zones 9b-11 (28°F\/-2°C min when dry)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitability: \u003c\/strong\u003eModern planters, xeriscape focal points, sunrooms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation: \u003c\/strong\u003eOffset division (spring optimal)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial characteristics: \u003c\/strong\u003eArchitectural form, drought-tolerant, low-maintenance\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Next Gardener","offers":[{"title":"Nursery pot","offer_id":43269615845474,"sku":"ubj1788063730750","price":7.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White striped pot","offer_id":43269615878242,"sku":"mqm1788063730751","price":12.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green striped pot","offer_id":43269615911010,"sku":"cyt1788063730752","price":12.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/0151\/8434\/files\/echeveria-agavoides-wild-horse-4-inch_1.jpg?v=1788063734","url":"https:\/\/www.harborandgrain.shop\/products\/echeveria-agavoides-wild-horse-4-inch","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
