INNOVATIVE GARDENING SOLUTIONS SINCE 1877

Echeverias are highly decorative in containers and rarely crowd out other plants. They compliment sunny borders, rock gardens, succulent and Mediterranean gardens. There are nearly 200 species

of Echeveria. They tolerate heat, full sun, part shade and are drought tolerant.

SOIL WATERING. Plant in well drained Succulent Soil or Culterra Succulent Mixture.. Never use sand from the garden, the beach, or a sandbox.. A good potting mix can also be used to which Perlite should be added.. This prevents compaction, and helps add better drainage for succulents.

. The biggest issue with succulents is overwatering.. Provide moderate amounts of water during the hot, dry season.. Let the soil dry out completely before you irrigate again.. Potted plants should not be left in a wet saucer. Allow water to drain freely.. Avoid watering the plants from above. This causes water to sit in the crown and results in the rosette rotting.

POSITION

FEEDING. Situate the plants in areas where they receive full, or half day sun and mulch around them with gravel, stone, pebbles or Leca to help supress weeds.. Echeveria care is practically fool proof and grows well in either containers or garden beds. . If grown indoors or in high humidity conditions, they can attract mealybug. Treat with Oleum diluted at 20 ml / litre.

. Feed with slow release organic fertilisers such as Bio Organic All Purpose or Talborne 3:1:5 at the beginning of the season and monthly with a weak water soluble solution such as Culterra Multikelp.
