Echeveria 'Misty' quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria 'Misty' 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 'Misty' 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 'Misty' 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 'Misty'

2020 introduction.

Echeveria 'Misty' is a delightful star-shaped form of Echeveria with its pastel blue/purple colourings and misty like appearance makes a true delight in any collection.

The leaves are delicately covered in a dusting of farina, which looks so tempting to touch, but must be resisted as the farina protects the plant against the strong summer sun, acting as a natural sunscreen.

Where possible, watering from underneath is always recommended on plants with farina.
