Echeveria pumila var. glauca quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria pumila var. glauca 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 pumila var. glauca 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 pumila var. glauca 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.

A variety of Echeveria glauca.

Like most glauca varieties, the Echeveria pumila var. glauca is incredibly robust and hardy (-7°C) when grown outdoors in the UK. If grown outside suitable drainage is required. This glaucous-blue Echeveria will grow into a small mound producing hundreds of little jewel-shaped red and orange flowers during the summer.

A must for a rockery or as part of a succulent pot display.
