🌿 Echeveria ‘Pegasus’

The Echeveria ‘Pegasus’ is a stunning rosette-forming succulent with fleshy, powdery blue-green leaves edged in soft pink or lilac hues. Compact, symmetrical, and sculptural, it adds elegance to succulent arrangements, windowsills, or desktops. With minimal care needs and a love for sunlight, Pegasus is a perfect choice for modern plant displays and collectors seeking a unique, low-maintenance beauty.

🔆 Light Requirements

Ideal Light: Bright, direct sunlight (4–6 hours daily) keeps it compact and colorful.
Tolerates: Bright indoor light or partial sun outdoors.
Avoid: Low-light areas — it will become leggy and lose vibrancy.

💧 Watering Guidelines

When to Water: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry.
Frequency: Every 2–3 weeks during active growth; reduce in winter.
Important: Use the “soak and dry” method. Avoid water sitting in the rosette to prevent rot.

🌾 Soil & Potting

Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Add extra perlite or pumice for improved drainage.
Pot: A pot with drainage holes is essential. Terra cotta pots help wick away excess moisture.

🌱 Fertilization

Feed: Once a month in spring and summer with a diluted cactus fertilizer.
Avoid: Fertilizing in fall/winter or overfeeding, which can harm roots.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Prune: Remove any dried or dead lower leaves to maintain a clean rosette.
Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf cuttings or offsets (pups) that form around the base.
Cleaning: Use a soft brush or air blower to remove dust without disturbing the powdery coating (farina).

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

Humidity: Prefers dry air; do not mist.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–30°C (65–86°F). Keep away from frost (not frost-tolerant).
