Echeveria 'Chroma' quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria 'Chroma' is a drought-tolerant succulent variety, so watering around once per week in the peak growing season is advised. Ensure the soil dries between waterings. It is also advised to completely stop watering when conditions are frosty, keeping the plant dry for several months at a time.

Feeding

Echeveria 'Chroma' likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September. A feed we recommend is the one from our friends at LittleGreenSeaweed.

Ideal soil

Echeveria 'Chroma' needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this. Adding extra grit may be useful to add even more drainage for these desert-dwellers.

Echeveria 'Chroma'

Echeveria ‘Chroma’ is an exciting hybrid produced in California by Altman Plants.

Its a strong clump-forming plant that produces beautiful bursts of pink on the tips of its leaves. Incredibly, it displays seasonal variegation during the summer, meaning it will appear variegated bursting with yellow, orange and red colours. It blooms in the spring with bright-orange flowers.

Place it in a sunny spot to experience the summer variegation, under glass is even better as long as it's protected from the midday sun.
