How to care for Echeveria Amoena Perote

Sun/Temperature: Echeveria Amoena Perote thrives in ample sunlight, so it's best placed in sunny spots like balconies or near windows. However, during high summer temperatures, it's advisable to avoid direct sunlight. Some shading can be provided around noon. This succulent prefers to grow in warm climates, with the ideal temperature ranging between 60°F and 80°F. The lowest temperature should not drop below 30°F.

Soil/Watering: Opt for well-draining, fertile sandy soil. You can use specialized succulent soil or a homemade mixture, such as combining perlite, pumice, and peat moss. Succulents typically require moderate watering to prevent root rot caused by excessive moisture. Generally, ensure the soil is arid before watering again.

Pot: Choose pots with good ventilation and ensure drainage holes are at the bottom to facilitate water drainage.

Propagation: Echeveria Amoena 'Perote' can be propagated through leaf propagation , offsets, or seeds. Take healthy leaves, let them callus in a dry, ventilated environment, then place them in moist soil. After about two to three weeks, new seedlings will begin to grow.

Fertilization: Succulents don't need frequent fertilization, but you can apply fertilizer monthly during their active growing season. Choose a fertilizer formula suitable for succulents.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
