Echeveria ‘Summer'

Echeveria ‘Summer’ is a compact, rosette-forming succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family, prized for its vibrant green leaves with subtle pink or red margins that intensify with sunlight exposure. Native to arid regions, this hybrid thrives in indoor settings, bringing a touch of natural beauty to any space.

Care Guide:

1. Light Requirements:
   Place Echeveria ‘Summer’ in full south window. Needs 6-8 hrs direct sun to thrive.

2. Watering:
   Use the "soak and dry" method, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common issue, leading to root rot. Water sparingly during the dormant winter months.

3. Soil and Potting:
   Opt for a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water retention.

4. Temperature and Humidity:
   Maintain indoor temperatures between 18–27°C. Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C. Low humidity levels suit this succulent best.

5. Fertilization:
   Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer during the active growing season (spring and summer). No feeding in fall and winter.

6. Propagation:
   Propagate through leaf cuttings or offsets. Allow cuttings to callus for a day or two before placing them in well-draining soil.

Benefits:

Echeveria ‘Summer’ is low-maintenance succulent with great sculptural appeal. It is also an excellent choice for full sun windowsill gardens, office spaces, or terrariums.

This drought-tolerant succulent is perfect for enthusiasts and beginners alike, requiring minimal care while delivering maximum charm.
