Echeveria Mexican Snowball

Plant Description

Discover the exquisite Echeveria Mexican Snowball, boasting a graceful rosette formation adorned with gently rounded, cupped leaves. This variety offers both beauty and ease of cultivation, readily producing offsets that can transform into striking clusters. Each leaf is enrobed in a delicate powdery wax known as farina, which not only safeguards them under intense sunlight but also lends a pleasing matte texture. Exposure to ample sunlight has an added enchantment, causing the rosette to elegantly blush with a hint of pink. As the seasons transition from spring to summer, this plant graces us with petite flowers in shades of yellow and pink, gracefully adorning a lofty bloom stalk.

Water & Light Recommendations

Watering Indoors: Instead of providing your succulents with frequent sips of water, it's better to give them a thorough soaking until water drains out from the pot's drainage holes. Ensure to remove any excess water in the saucer, as succulents dislike sitting in standing water. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.

Watering Outdoors: During summer, water your succulents every two weeks, soaking them and letting the soil dry before watering again. In winter, water them once a month.
