Although you’re probably most familiar with green succulents, you can find the plants in a range of colors. The Sedeveria Pink Ruby Succulent starts out as greenish purple and changes to become hot pink under certain conditions.

You might have noticed your succulents change color. That’s its response to stress and extreme conditions around them, including sunlight, very hot or cold weather, and when the plant isn’t being watered properly. Some succulents have a more noticeable color change than others, and the rare one we’re talking about today is certainly one of them.

The Sedeveria is a hybrid, caused by the cross between sedum and echeveria plants. It’s a small succulent with thick rosette formations. It’s typically green, silver green, or blue green, but can have colorful accents. In the case of the Sedeveria Pink Ruby, it takes on bright pink and red colors under stressful conditions.

Etsy shop Chris Enjoys Planting is selling the rare pink succulent for $5.99. It has even earned a Bestseller badge! The shop has an average of about 4 out of 5 stars, and currently has over 5,800 sales. Keep in mind that you might want to have a small pot and soil ready to go when it arrives, because it doesn’t come with the accessories.

We could all use a little color to brighten up our spaces, right? Bet you didn’t think that pop of color would be coming from a succulent.
