Echeveria 'Frida Kahlo' quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria 'Frida Kahlo' 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 'Frida Kahlo' 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.

Ideal soil

Echeveria 'Frida Kahlo' 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 'Frida Kahlo'

A hybrid of Echeveria setosa x Echeveria sp.

A really stunning Echeveria with soft, hairy leaves that take on amazing colours of fire-red in summer light. An unusual, clumping succulent that offsets from everywhere, including the central rosette. Blooms in spring with yellow flowers.

Perfect in a bowl due to its unusually bright red and orange colours. A great contrast plant.
