Echeveria colorata

Echeveria colorata is a gorgeous succulent that has minty-silver green leaves with striking red tips. They can grow up to a diameter of 16 inches. Flowers are pink and they appear on arching stems from summer to fall.  These plants are easy to grow, so they’re great for beginners.  Care Tips Light: These plants require bright light but avoid direct sunlight most of the time so the leaves don’t get damaged.  Water: The watering method is very important to keep your plant healthy. It should not sit on the water, and an excess amount of water should be avoided. The best way of watering is using the soak and dry method.  Soil: Only need to ensure that the content of granular soil is more than 50%. In general, you can use the ratio of charcoal soil, perlite and coarse river sand mixed, and then add some well-rotted organic fertilizer to the soil as a base fertilizer. Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, and plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.  Temperature: Suitable temperature is 50-77°F (10-25°C). General indoor temperatures are appropriate. Humidity: They grow well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.    Shipping & Handling The 2 Inch Echeveria colorata plants are shipped with the pot and soil The 4 Inch and larger plants are shipped bare roots without the pot and soil: We commit to shipping bare roots, which requires more time and labor, and provide excellent quality and service to our customers - see Benefits of Shipping Bare Roots You will receive a very similar plant to the one shown in the photos; shape and color may vary Ship within USA & its outlying territories only Please visit Order Processing & Shipping info page for additional details   Care Instructions Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details. To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage. Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.   Weather Conditions When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can be damaged by the cold weather.
