Echeveria 'Santa Lewis' quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria 'Santa Lewis' 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 'Santa Lewis' 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 'Santa Lewis' 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 'Santa Lewis'

The very rare Echeveria ‘Santa Lewis’ is a highly prized gem of a succulent. This South Korean cultivar is a low and compact grower with beautiful pale purple foliage with flecks of luminous bright red leaf tips.

What makes this even more delightful is the way the bright red colouring runs down the back of the leaves as they unfold from the centre of the plant.

We have found the Echeveria ‘Santa Lewis’ and easy grower which will offset in time, the colourings will become more pronounced during certain times of the year, flowers will open May/June time.

It would happily grow on a windowsill or in a conservatory. Pot on in the spring and water once the soil completely dries out before watering again.
