Echeveria simulans quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria simulans 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 simulans 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 simulans 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 simulans

Echeveria simulans is a species native to Mexico.

A really different species, found in the same location as Echeveria shaviana but with tighter rose-like rosettes with frilly leaf tips. Very attractive when established. The rosettes are much like the Echeveria elegans but feature a frilly leaf.

It would be best planted on a windowsill or in an unheated conservatory or greenhouse.
