Echeveria 'Onslow' quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria 'Onslow' 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 'Onslow' 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 'Onslow' 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 'Onslow'

Echeveria ‘Onslow’

This delightful compact low growing Echeveria cultivar is a cross between two of the most beautiful parents in Echeveria ‘Lola’ x Echeveria elegans, it can also be found under the name of Echeveria ‘Michella’.

It grows much like the very attractive Echeveria elegans, but the rosettes seem to be more open much like the formation of the Echeveria ‘Lola’. As the succulent grows and offsets, it will form into a cluster of very similar-looking pastel coloured rosettes.

Echeveria ‘Onslow’ is a very different looking plant and definitely has its own stand-alone features, it is potentially hardier than other Echeveria varieties due to Echeveria elegans as part of its parentage.
