Plant/Product Description:
Echeveria Setosa is a distinctive succulent known for its fuzzy, velvety leaves that give the plant a soft, textured appearance. The leaves are a pale green with a silver or white fuzz that creates a unique, almost soft-textured look, which makes it stand out in any collection. The rosettes are compact and grow symmetrically, making it a perfect addition to containers, hanging baskets, or succulent arrangements. In spring, Echeveria Setosa produces small, pink or orange flowers that contrast beautifully with the plant’s soft foliage.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun enhances the leaf color and promotes 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 Setosa is generally winter dormant, requiring 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 Setosa is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
