Echeveria ‘Perle von Nurnberg’

Echeveria ‘Perle von Nurnberg’

Rosette to 6" in diameter of lovely pruinose violet pink with somewhat triangular leaves. Gracefully arching spike of delicate coral flowers during spring months. Excellent for windowsill culture or as color accent in rock garden or dish garden. Bright light is required to prevent "stretching" of Echeverias ("stretching" occurs when a moderately fast growing plant such as an Echeveria, is grown in dim light or over-fertilized, which causes overly lush growth that contributes to weak, pallid plants).

Succulents and Cacti Basic Care: Easy

• Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between watering. Water deeply and infrequently, ensuring excess water drains away. Reduce watering to a minimum during the winter.
• Light: Most succulents and cacti thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Some species can handle direct sunlight, but it's best to acclimate them gradually to prevent sunburn.
• Soil/Drainage: Use a well-draining potting mix designed specifically for succulents and cacti. The ideal blend should contain porous materials like perlite, pumice, or coarse sand to promote aeration and drainage.
• Temperature: Prefer warmer temperatures but can tolerate a range from about 40°F (4°C) at night to 95°F (35°C) during the day. Protect them from frost to prevent damage.
• Humidity: These plants prefer low-humidity environments. If indoor humidity is high, ensure good air circulation around the plants to help keep moisture levels down.
• Fertilizing: Feed sparingly, only during the growing season (spring and summer), using a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer diluted to about half the recommended strength.
