Echeveria 'Mensa' quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria 'Mensa' 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 'Mensa' 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 'Mensa' 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 'Mensa'

A hybrid of unknown origins. Also known as Echeveria 'Dark Desire' and Echeveria 'Neon Black Pride'.

Echeveria 'Mensa' is highly prized succulent for its large rosettes and fantastic colour. This variety offsets from the base to leave a perfectly symmetrical, intact plant. It should bloom in the spring with light-cream coloured spikes that carry pastel orange and pink bell-shaped flowers.

The musky colouring makes it a great addition to any collection.
