Plant/Product Description:
Echeveria Gibbiflora is a striking and large-growing succulent known for its bold, fleshy leaves and distinctive shape. The leaves are thick and rounded, with vibrant green or blue tones that may develop pink or red highlights at the edges when exposed to full sun. The plant forms a large rosette that can reach several inches in diameter, making it an excellent choice for containers, large succulent arrangements, or as a statement piece in garden beds. In late winter to early spring, Echeveria Gibbiflora produces small, bell-shaped pink or coral flowers on tall stems, which add a splash of color to the plant’s already vibrant appearance.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun encourages the best growth and vibrant color.
- 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 Gibbiflora is generally winter dormant, requiring less water during the cooler months and slowing growth.
- 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 Gibbiflora is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
