Echeveria 'Aquarius' quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria 'Aquarius' 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 'Aquarius' 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 'Aquarius' 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 'Aquarius'

Echeveria ‘Aquarius’, created and named by Lila Lillie, is a frilly hybrid of unknown parentage.

This variety features beautiful silvery-blue frilly leaves that can turn red under stress, making it one of the most spectacular plants due to its flexible array of different colours ranging from almost opposite ends of the colour wheel. It flowers mid-spring like many other Echeveria and shoots off multiple tall spikes carrying orange and yellow bell-shaped flowers.

A beautiful specimen to show off within your succulent display, would make for an amazing feature plant or to contrast against other frilly varieties
