Echeveria Cubic Frost

Description

Echeveria Cubic Frost Hybrid Striking geometrical rosettes turn upward in their frosty lilac-blue finish on theEcheveria Cubic Frost, a succulent hybrid that’s out of this world. Each leaf on this unique plant grows outward from a tight symmetry toward a sharp tip, coated with the natural waxy bloom-farina-that lends its icy tint and helps protect from intense sun. The rosette deepens into variations of lilac, pink and baby-blue-gray as it matures and is exposed to increased light, giving each individual plant its own signature shading.

A really uncomplicated plant to sit around the home! Best enjoyed in a sun filled window sill, on the balcony or any position that receives 4 or more hours of direct sun a day, bright light really encourages colour! Without sufficient light this lovely little rosette will etiolate (stretch out) and be more muted in its colour tones. This pretty echeveria will sit well in a study, a conservatory or a balcony shelf. 

If you want an interesting, decorative succulent that doesn't require a lot of daily attention and can be more neglected when it comes to watering and care, Cubic Frost will be another wonderful choice for beginners as well. Mature plants will typically grow small pups at their bases and a single plant may expand to be a small cluster of rosettes.

Important Notes

• Each plant is a living thing, so natural variation in rosette size, shape, and colour intensity is normal
• Colour depends on light exposure; plants kept in lower light will look greener and less lilac than those in bright sun
• Some minor leaf drop or bruising during transit is normal for succulents and the plant usually recovers within a couple of weeks
• Avoid direct, harsh afternoon sun right after unboxing; let the plant acclimatise gradually to its new spot
• Growth slows down noticeably in winter, which is normal dormant behaviour for this plant
• Keep away from waterlogged soil, as overwatering is the most common cause of rot in Echeveria

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: The lilac/blue colors on my Echeveria Cubic Frost are turning green? 

A: Echeveria Cubic Frosts color intensity depends on light! If it's not receiving enough light then it can become more green and stretch its neck out! Moving it to a brighter location, like a south or east facing window will bring the purple-blue hues back over the next few weeks.

Q: How much water should I give the plant?

A: Water thoroughly only once the soil is completely dry. In your region and based on the pot size, this may be every 7-14 days. I prefer checking the soil moisture regularly, to see if watering is required before a certain number of days has passed.

Q: Can Echeveria Cubic Frost be grown indoors?

A: For sure, assuming you give the plant lots of intense light for many hours per day-your sunny kitchen windowsill should do it. The plant will stretch and lose its colour if it doesn't have bright conditions inside.

Q: How fast do cubic frost plants grow? 

A: Slow to medium-rate growing, like with most other Echeveria plants. It’ll likely take a few years before it develops into a more impressive, larger rosette shape, and older, mature plants will produce offsets around the base over time.

Q: When is the time to transplant my monster plant? 

A: Your monster needs re-potting every 2 to 3 years, a little larger, using potting soil with good drainage. Do this in spring or summer during plant growing time. Use a pot slightly bigger that has a hole at the bottom.

Q: Is this plant safe around pets?

A: Echeveria Cubic Frost is non-toxic to both cats and dogs, but still, it's best to place it where pets that love munching on leaves won't get to it, and don't hesitate to call a vet in case your furry friend gets a taste.
