Echeveria agavoides 'Miranda' is a succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to rocky hillsides and semi-arid regions of Mexico. It has adapted to grow in dry, bright conditions with minimal attention.
'Miranda' forms a tight, upright rosette of thick, triangular green leaves tipped with vivid reddish-pink points that deepen in bright light. The leaves have a smooth, waxy surface and a satisfying geometric symmetry. The contrast between the green body and the colorful tips makes it visually distinct on any shelf or windowsill.
It produces slender, arching stems topped with coral-to-red bell-shaped blooms, typically appearing in spring or early summer. A cool nighttime temperature drop encourages flowering, so moving 'Miranda' outdoors in late spring or to a cooler room in autumn can bring on blooms. It stays compact, typically reaching about 4 to 6 inches in diameter, and propagates easily from leaf cuttings or offsets that form at the base of a mature rosette.
'Miranda' is pet-friendly, so you can place it anywhere in your home without concern. It grows well as a patio plant or outdoor plant during summer months, though it needs cover from rain to prevent water pooling in the rosette. This drought-tolerant succulent handles dry, heated indoor air well. You can leave it up to ten days without water. It propagates easily from leaf cuttings or offsets that form at the base of a mature rosette.

'Miranda' is a slow to moderate grower needing only light balanced fertilizer once in spring.
It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, tolerating brief dips to around 25°F but performing best with frost-free winters. It grows outdoors year-round in much of California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, as well as the mild coastal areas of Oregon and Washington. Gardeners growing it outside these zones can still enjoy it year-round by bringing it indoors before the first frost.
