🌿 Echeveria Subsesilis Hybrid ‘Silver’

This stunning hybrid of Echeveria subsesilis features soft, silver-blue rosettes with a delicate powdery coating (farina) that gives the plant a frosty, elegant appearance. The symmetrical, spoon-shaped leaves form a dense rosette and can blush with a hint of pink at the edges under bright light. A refined choice for succulent lovers and design-conscious indoor gardeners.

🔆 Light Requirements

Ideal Light: Bright, direct sunlight for 4–6 hours a day.
Tolerates: Bright, indirect light, but the rosette may stretch slightly without enough direct sun.
Avoid: Dim corners or low-light areas — this leads to leggy growth and dull color.

💧 Watering Guidelines

When to Water: Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Frequency: Every 2–3 weeks during growing season; once a month or less in winter.
Important: Avoid getting water on the leaves or in the center of the rosette to prevent rot and leaf spotting.

🌾 Soil & Potting

Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. You can amend with extra pumice or perlite for airflow.
Pot: Shallow terracotta or ceramic pots with drainage holes are ideal.

🌱 Fertilization

Feed: Once a month in spring and summer using a diluted succulent fertilizer (¼ to ½ strength).
Avoid: Feeding during the winter dormancy period.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Prune: Gently remove any dead or dried leaves at the base.
Repotting: Every 1–2 years, or when outgrowing its pot. Handle carefully to preserve the silvery coating on the leaves.
Propagation: Can be propagated by leaf cuttings or offsets if available.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

Humidity: Prefers dry air — avoid humid conditions which can encourage fungal issues.
Temperature: Ideal range is 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from frost; avoid temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
