Plant/Product Description:
Echeveria Peacockii is a striking succulent known for its unique, elongated, and pointed leaves that form a distinctive rosette.

As the plant matures, the leaves develop a shimmering, metallic sheen, creating a beautiful, peacock-like effect that gives the plant its name.

This beautiful, easy-care succulent is ideal for containers, hanging baskets, or as an accent in garden beds.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun enhances the plant's color and vibrancy.
- 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 Peacockii 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 Peacockii is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
