Plant/Product Description:
Echeveria Melaco is a stunning and unique succulent known for its dark, almost bronze-colored leaves that form a dense, symmetrical rosette.

Its unique appearance and easy care make it a favorite among collectors and gardeners.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun enhances the plant's color and compact growth.
• 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 Melaco 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 Melaco is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
