Echeveria Pansy

Description

Echeveria Pansy is a small succulent which will develop a nicely formed and symmetrical rosette of thick and plump leaves in a light pale green color. Depending on the light it receives it may also blush a subtle pinkish pink or blush pink tone along the edges. The leaves are round and smooth and lie tightly together forming an orderly rosette which is popular among people who prefer their succulents tight and formed.

The growing condition of Echeveria Pansy needs bright indirect light with tolerance of a bit of morning sun, maybe in a position where it sits on a sill or is at a study or desk table or on a balcony. Without adequate light it might sprawl a bit and get leggy and its tightly packed rosette might widen. Pansy does well in mixed planters as its delicate form provides a nice, peaceful contrast to more colorful plants.

Just as most Echeverias, Pansy is an extremely sturdy, drought-tolerant species, which does not require much attention nor frequent watering, thus it can be a perfect low-care, easy plant to set upon any windowsill or desk, especially by beginners. As most established Echeverias, over time Pansy will produce many offsets around the rosette, expanding into a small colony of small rosettes over the years.

Important Notes

• Each plant is a living thing, so natural variation in rosette size, shape, and colour intensity is normal
• Colour and compactness depend on light exposure; plants kept in lower light may look looser and paler
• Some minor leaf bruising or drop during transit is normal for succulents and the plant usually recovers within a couple of weeks
• Steer clear of the hot afternoon sun straight out of the box, introduce the plant to the location slowly
• Growth slows down noticeably in winter, which is normal dormant behaviour for this plant
• Avoid letting water sit in the rosette for long periods, as this can lead to rot; water at the base instead

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is my Echeveria Pansy stretching rather than remaining compact?

A: It is normally caused by insufficient sunlight. The leaves extend along the stem because your plant is stretching in the direction of light. Relocate your Echeveria Pansy to a better location (with perhaps some mild morning sun) to allow it to become more compact.

Q: How often should I water it? 

A: Water only after the soil dries completely. That might be 10-14 days depending on where you live and what type of pot it’s in, but always finger test before you water instead of relying on the days on the calendar.

Q: Can you grow Echeveria Pansy indoors? 

A: Yes, just be sure that it receives several hours of bright indirect light every day – from a sunny window for instance. A little bit of morning sun directly onto the plant can help keep the rosette tight and blushing colours on the edge to a maximum.

Q: How fast is the growth of this plant?

A: The Echeveria Pansy is a slow to moderate grower. It may take time to establish and to fully expand to a denser rosette and older Echeveria Pansy plants may offset over time from their bases.

Q: When should I re-pot it? 

A: It only requires repotting once or twice a year typically spring or summer during active growing periods . Find pots which are no more than an inch or two wide.

Q: Will this plant hurt my pets? 

A: Echeveria in general, such as the Pansy echeveria, are not toxic to cats and dogs. We recommend always keeping plants out of reach from any pets who tend to nibble on foliage and if you are worried they ate some contact your vet.
