Unguiculata

About:

Echeveria unguiculata is a decorative, small, rosette-forming succulent plant that can grow up to 10 cm in diameter. The leaves are curved, lanceolate and narrow, up to 5 cm long and 1 cm wide, gray with violet shading and small red or black tip. The stem is up to 2 inches long. The flowers are pink to orange (outside) and orange (inside) on a 50 cm long stem.

Planting Media: Use soilrite mix thoroughly mixed with sand and pebbles (1-1.5cm). The soil mixture must be well drained.

Water: The best way to water succulents is with the “soak and dry” method. Soak the soil completely then let the soil dry out completely before watering again. Make sure the succulents are in a well draining soil in a pot with a drainage hole.

For indoor succulents, it is generally best if water doesn’t get on top of the leaves. If it sits on a leaf for too long it can cause rot. This isn’t as much of an issue for outdoor succulents because there is more airflow and the water will dry out quicker.

Sunlight: It prefers full sunlight to partial shade.
