Plant Category:
Succulent

Plant/Product Description:
Echeveria Arctic Ice is a visually stunning succulent known for its striking pale blue-green foliage with frosty, silvery overtones. The leaves are thick, fleshy, and arranged in a symmetrical rosette that gives the plant a sculptural, frozen appearance—hence the name "Arctic Ice." The tips of the leaves often blush with a soft pink or red hue when exposed to bright sunlight, creating a beautiful contrast with the cool, icy tones. In late winter to early spring, Echeveria Arctic Ice produces small, bell-shaped orange flowers on tall stems, adding a splash of color to the plant's elegant rosette. This easy-to-care-for succulent is perfect for containers, hanging baskets, or as a decorative feature in succulent arrangements.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun enhances the color and vibrancy of the leaves.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
• Dormancy: Echeveria Arctic Ice is generally winter dormant, meaning it requires less water during the cooler months when growth slows.
• Propagation: Easily propagated by leaf cuttings or offsets. Allow the cut ends to callous before replanting in well-draining soil.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids. Regular inspections help maintain plant health.

Toxicity:
Echeveria Arctic Ice is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
