'''''Echeveria''''' is a large [[genus]] of [[succulent]]s in the [[Crassulaceae]] family, native from [[Mexico]] to northwestern [[South America]]. The genus is named after the 18th century [[Mexico|Mexican]] botanical artist, [[Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy]]. Many of the species produce numerous [[offsets]], and are commonly known as '[[Hen and chicks]]', which can also refer to other genera such as [[Sempervivum]] that are significantly different from ''Echeveria''.
Many ''Echeveria'' species are popular as [[garden]] [[plant]]s. They are [[drought]] resistant, although they do better with regular deep watering and fertilizing. Most will tolerate shade and some [[frost]], although [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] [[species]] tend to be less tolerant. They can be propagated easily by separating [[offsets]], but may also be propagated by leaf [[cutting (plant)|cuttings]], and by [[seed]] if they are not hybrids. ''Echeverias'' are [[polycarpic]], meaning that they may flower and set seed many times over the course of their lifetimes.
Most lose their lower leaves in winter; as a result, after a few years, the plants lose their attractive, compact appearance and need to be rerooted or propagated. In addition, if not removed, these shed leaves may decay, harboring [[fungus]] which can then infect the plant.
