Echeveria: Modern Succulents for Effortless Indoor Style

Echeverias are renowned members of the Crassulaceae family, prized for their compact rosettes and vibrant, fleshy leaves. This exclusive collection brings together top-performing varieties—Echeveria Affinis, Agavoides Mont, Pearl of Nurnberg, and Purpusorum—each offering unique colours from deep purple to frosty blue. Their sculptural forms add instant style to modern interiors and urban spaces.

• Botanical Benefits: Echeverias feature drought-tolerant foliage that stores water in their thick leaves, making them a resilient choice for novice and experienced plant lovers alike.
• Mature Size: Each plant typically reaches around 10cm (4") in height and spreads to about 20cm (8"), making them perfect for compact displays.
• Seasonal Interest: Enjoy year-round structure and colour. In summer, expect delicate star-shaped pink flowers on slender stems that rise above the foliage.

Caring for Your Echeveria Collection

• Light: Place in bright, indirect sunlight—ideal for south- or east-facing windowsills.
• Watering: Allow soil to dry out between waterings; overwatering is the main cause of succulent decline.
• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix; avoid heavy or moisture-retentive soils.
• Temperature: Prefers average indoor temperatures (15–24°C); protect from frost if placing outdoors in summer.
• Feeding: Apply a diluted liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring-summer).
• Pots & Containers: Optionally upgrade with a grey patio container for instant style and easy placement.

Design & Placement Ideas

• Create eye-catching arrangements on windowsills, bookshelves, or workspaces.
• Makes a striking centrepiece when grouped together in shallow bowls or trays.
• Pairs beautifully with other sun-loving succulents such as Haworthia or Sedum.
• Adds texture and colour contrast to minimalist interiors or contemporary patios.

Frequently Asked Questions

• When is the best time to plant my Echeverias?
  Echeverias can be planted indoors at any time of year. For outdoor displays, wait until after the last frost in spring.
• How often should I water these succulents?
  Echeverias prefer soil that dries out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry—usually every 2–3 weeks indoors.
• Do they need direct sunlight?
  Echeverias thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sun. Too little light may cause leggy growth; too much intense sun can scorch leaves.
