📌 Note: The leaves of Echeveria hookeri may show small natural imperfections, fine handling marks, slightly dehydrated basal leaves, or minor signs from transport or adaptation to the new environment. Depending on light and season, the coloration may vary slightly, and some outer leaves may naturally retract as the plant grows. These aspects are normal and do not affect the plant’s viability.
