Echeveria in Mint Ceramic Cup
[ Height: 5" - 6" | Diameter: 4" - 5" ]
An Echeveria planted in a mint-green ceramic pot from Middle Kingdom. Place in bright indirect light or a space that receives a few hours of morning sun. Check the soil for dampness once a week. If dry, add about a half of a cup of water, keeping in mind that any excess will build up in the bottom and should be avoided. Water should be applied to soil, not to the plant itself. Middle Kingdom pottery is handcrafted and signed by the artisan.
Plants make great gifts for any occasion. Send some green with PlantShed, hand-delivered to NYC + NJ, 7 days a week.

Plant Care Guide
Light
As with most succulents, Echeverias grow best in full sun or partial shade. In hot summers, more shade may be necessary.
Water
Allow soil to mostly dry out between waterings. Pour water on soil, not the plant's rosette.
Level of Care
Easy! Just place in bright sunlight and don't overwater.
Air Purifying
Echeverias remove toxins that can build up in indoor spaces. A general rule of thumb is 1 medium houseplant per 100 square feet of space effectively cleans the air we breathe.
Fertilizer
Feed with a mild cactus fertilizer about twice a month during the growing season. Do not fertilize in winter.
Temperature
Warm temperatures are best during the growing season. Plants enjoy cool temperatures down to 55°F in the winter.
Soil
Use a well-draining cactus/palm potting mix.
Pruning & Propagation
Prune damaged leaves by pulling from the stem. To propagate, plant stem or leaf cuttings in soil.
Pet Friendly
Yes! Echeverias pose no risk if consumed by pets.
