Echeveria 'Crispate Beauty' quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria 'Crispate Beauty' 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 'Crispate Beauty' 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 'Crispate Beauty' 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 'Crispate Beauty'

This alien looking Echeveria is a very unusual succulent due to its chunky and frilly foliage.

The thick farina gives it a very grey almost moonlike colour, very similar to its mother plant Echeveria lilacina. This brilliant plant will amaze anyone, succulent fanatic or not. It will do well planted by itself in a pot or as a main feature plant in an arrangement. Strangely, the orange flower petals are also frilly. These appear in May.
