I'm on the hunt for places in San Diego, California, where I can snag some affordable echeveria plants. I'm particularly interested in unique varieties, especially those similar to what you might find in Korea. I've heard that San Diego is a hotspot for succulents, with many budget-friendly options available, but I haven't had much luck finding any yet. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Don’t forget to look into Vista Succulents. They have some great options, and also check Facebook for local sellers! There seem to be a lot of hidden gems in that community.
You should definitely check out Oasis – Water Efficient Gardens. I’ve been there a few times, and they always have interesting plants. It seems like their inventory changes regularly, so you might find some unique echeveria.
I think a lot of those echeveria growers are actually wholesalers, which is why they might be hard to access for regular folks. I shop at a retail nursery in Vista called Palm Street—check them out on Instagram! They grow and import some really nice echeverias, so it might be worth reaching out there!

I've ordered from them before and the shipping was awesome! Definitely a good place to buy from.
