Echeveria runyonii ‘Topsy Turvy’ is a unique and eye-catching succulent known for its unusual leaf arrangement and attractive appearance. Here’s a detailed overview:

Appearance:

• Leaves: Echeveria ‘Topsy Turvy’ has thick, fleshy leaves that are typically light green to bluish-gray. The leaves are spoon-shaped and have a distinctive twist or curl to them, giving the plant its “Topsy Turvy” name. The edges of the leaves may have a reddish or pinkish hue, which becomes more pronounced with increased light exposure.
• Growth: The plant forms a compact rosette with a spiral or twisting leaf arrangement. The rosette can grow up to about 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) in diameter. The twisting leaves give the plant a unique and somewhat whimsical appearance.

Growth:

• Shape: The rosette shape is distinct, with leaves that curve or twist outward in a spiral fashion. The overall shape of the plant can be somewhat irregular due to the twisting leaves.
• Rate: Echeveria ‘Topsy Turvy’ grows relatively slowly but steadily. It produces new leaves from the center of the rosette, and offsets or “pups” can form around the base, contributing to a fuller appearance over time.

Flowers:

• Blooming Period: The plant typically produces flowers in late winter to early spring.
• Flowers: The flowers are small, tubular, and usually come in shades of orange, pink, or yellow. They appear on a tall flower stalk that rises above the rosette, adding a delicate touch to the plant.

Care:

• Light: Echeveria ‘Topsy Turvy’ prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Adequate light helps maintain the plant’s vibrant colors and compact form. The twisting leaves can become more pronounced with good light exposure.
• Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Proper drainage is crucial to prevent root rot and other issues.
• Watering: Water only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so let the soil dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during the winter months when the plant is less active.
• Temperature: The plant prefers warmer temperatures and is sensitive to frost. Ideal temperatures are between 15-25°C (60-75°F). Protect it from cold temperatures and ensure it has adequate warmth throughout the year.

Propagation:

• Offsets: The plant can be propagated from offsets or “pups” that grow around the base. These can be gently separated and potted up.
• Leaf Cuttings: It can also be propagated from leaf cuttings. Allow the leaf to callous over for a few days before planting it in well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist until new growth appears.

Echeveria runyonii ‘Topsy Turvy’ is valued for its distinctive leaf arrangement and striking appearance, making it a popular choice for succulent enthusiasts and collectors. Its unique growth habit and relatively easy care requirements add to its appeal as a decorative plant in various indoor and outdoor settings.
