Botanical Name:
Echeveria Melaco
Common Names:
Melaco Echeveria
Plant Category:
Succulent
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. The leaves are thick and fleshy, with shades of deep red, purple, and brown, which deepen in color when the plant is exposed to full sunlight. This striking color contrast makes it a standout in any succulent collection. In spring, Echeveria Melaco produces small, bell-shaped pink flowers that add a delightful burst of color to the plant’s bold foliage. 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.
