Echeveria - Dazzle (Calara Hybrid)
Echeveria 'Dazzle', another Calara Hybrid, is a captivating succulent with its soft, muted colors, velvety texture, and unique glistening effect. Its delicate appearance and "dazzling" shimmer make it a truly special addition to any succulent collection.
Care Requirements:
Light:
- Bright, Indirect Sunlight: Echeveria love bright light. Indoors, a south-facing window is ideal.
- Full Sun Outdoors: They can tolerate full sun outdoors, but be cautious of intense afternoon sun, which can cause sunburn.
- Signs of Insufficient Light: If your Echeveria becomes "leggy" (stretches out), it's not getting enough light.
Watering:
- "Soak and Dry" Method: This is crucial. Water thoroughly until water drains from the pot, then let the soil dry out completely before watering again.
- Overwatering is Deadly: Echeveria are susceptible to root rot, so err on the side of underwatering.
- Watering Frequency: This varies depending on the season, temperature, and humidity. Water more frequently in the growing season (spring and summer) and less in the dormant season (fall and winter).
Soil:
- Well-Draining Soil: Use a cactus or succulent mix. This type of soil allows water to drain quickly, preventing root rot.
- Good Drainage is Essential: Ensure your pot has drainage holes.
Temperature:
- Warm Temperatures: Echeveria prefer warm temperatures and are not frost-tolerant.
- Avoid Cold Drafts: Keep them away from cold drafts.
5. Potting:
- Terracotta Pots: These are ideal, as they allow for good airflow and drainage.
- Repotting: Repot only when necessary, such as when the plant outgrows its pot.
Key Care Tips:
- Avoid Water on Leaves: When watering, try to avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can lead to rot.
- Fertilizing: Echeveria don't require much fertilizer. A diluted succulent fertilizer can be used sparingly during the growing season.
- Pest Control: Watch for pests like mealybugs and aphids.
By following these guidelines, you can help your Echeveria thrive and maintain its beautiful appearance.
