Echeveria ‘cubic Frost’
Product Details
**Light** Thrives best in bright light; will love your brightest windowsill (try South-facing if in doubt!). If its crown starts to be discoloured white, your Echeveria needs more light! **Water** Allow all the soil to dry out between watering; reduce further in winter to let it have a dormancy period. If your Echeveria is in a less bright spot, make sure to water it even less frequently, and make sure no water setles inside the crown of the plant where it can cause rot. **Humidity** Low humidity is perfect for echeveria; a hose down to clean now and again is fine as long as the plant dries and doesn't sit damp. **Soil** Needs a well-draining pot and potting mix; look for specific 'cacti and succulent' soils with plenty of sand and other well-draining materials. Repot every couple of years as the plant grows. **Food** Feed every two months in the growing season, and every three in autumn and winter. Use 'cactus & succulent' labelled feed for best results. **Temperature** Likes temperatures of 15-25°C; on the warmer end in spring-summer and let it be 5°C cooler in its autumn-winter dormancy period. **Pet-safe** Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant! **Sprouts Top Tips** Echeveria produce pups- so keep an eye out for miniature versions of your plant growing off the stem or out of the root which you could propagate!
