About Echeveria Moon Gad varnish (4 inch)

Echeveria Moon Gad varnish (4 inch) is a succulent of the genus Echeveria in the family Crassulaceae. It has a rosette-shaped arrangement of leaves, with a single head about 5-7cm in diameter. The leaves are green, oval, slightly thick, sharply pointed, and have sharp edges that easily turn red. Echeveria Moon Gad varnish (4 inch) has a striking contrast between the red edges and the green rest of the leaves when it is thriving.

How to care for Echeveria Moon Gad varnish (4 inch)

Soil: To avoid root rot, Echeveria Moon Gad varnish requires soil that drains well and has pores. Using a ready-made cactus soil mix is a great way. And also you can make your cactus soil mix by combining three parts of regular soil, two parts of coarse sand, and one part of perlite. Echeveria Moon Gad varnish grows well in acidic soil with a ph of around 6.0.

Sun/Temperature: During its growing season-spring and autumn, the air is relatively cool, and Echeveria Moon Gad varnish can basically be placed outdoors all day long, or it can be exposed to light on the balcony, and the temperature difference between the two seasons is also relatively large, which is the season most prone to thrive. Of course, in summer, it is best to place Echeveria Moon Gad varnish in a ventilated area that can receive indirect light, otherwise, it will be sunburned if the sun is too strong. In winter, keeping the ambient temperature above 32°F and the potting soil dry will make it safe to survive.

Watering: Water the soil when it's completely dry, never let water sit on the leaves, as it will lead to rot and fungal diseases. Try to meet the water requirements of the succulents during the growing period so that the leaves will be fuller. In summer, we should pay attention to ventilation and control the amount of water. Hot and humid summers are easy to cause rot. In winter, it is enough to water the Echeveria Moon Gad varnish a little every thirty days.

Propagation: Cut plants can be planted directly in dry granular soil, and given a small amount of water after a few days, they will easily grow roots

Other tips: its flowers will consume more nutrients, and if not for pollination, they can be cut off. And Echeveria Moon Gad varnish is easy to be Cresting. Cresting is a mutation that occurs as the plant grows. To maintain the crest, it is necessary to remove normally growing parts regularly, otherwise, these parts may further dominate the plant's growth, causing the crest to disappear.
