Echeveria ice green (Echeveria 'Ice Green')

Echeveria ice green

In the fall and winter seasons, with the right temperatures and light levels, the leaf surface of the echeveria ice green is white, with the tips slightly reddish and margins charmingly orange-red. When light is insufficient, these rich colors quickly fade away and revert to a plain green, and the plant's leaves become loose.

Water: Echeveria ice green thrives in arid conditions, requiring minimal water and exhibiting high drought tolerance. Watering every three weeks with dry soil between sessions is essential. Typically grown indoors in well-draining containers, echeveria ice green necessitates careful moisture management to prevent root rot.

Fertilize: For optimal growth, echeveria ice green requires quarterly applications of diluted succulent and cacti food during spring to early fall. Fertilizing stops in cooler months to honor dormancy. Moderate feeding prevents fertilizer burn, ensuring vibrant foliage while seasonal adjustments maintain echeveria ice green's health and vigor.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of echeveria ice green, prune redundant or dense branches in spring and fall using tools like knives or scissors. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, apply sulfur powder on the wound, and plant it in slightly moist soil after healing.

Propagation: Propagation of echeveria ice green is typically done using leaves rather than seeds, which are hard to germinate. Cut a healthy leaf and place it on humid soil, ensuring the base is close to the soil. Maintain a temperature of 25℃ and provide bright, scattered light for optimal growth.

Repotting: Echeveria ice green is a compact rosette-forming succulent that should be repotted biennially in spring. Use a slightly larger pot with excellent drainage to avoid water-logging. Allow echeveria ice green to rest post-repotting before light watering to support recovery and maintain its vibrant, icy-green appearance.
