Echeveria 'Red Line Queen'

About Echeveria 'Red Line Queen'

Echeveria 'Red Line Queen' is said to be a hybrid of E. Elegans and E. Agavoides. As a result, it has the rosette shape of Agavoides and the leaf characteristics of E. Elegans succulents. When exposed to enough sunlight and temperature stress, the leaves turn red from the margins to the center. If you take a closer look, you will notice a white line on the leaves, which makes it unique and attractive.

How to Care for Echeveria 'Red Line Queen'

Sunlight: To grow Echeveria 'Red Line Queen' indoors, you must provide at least six hours of bright or filtered sunlight daily. However, since it is a hybrid succulent, hybrid succulents have many unknown possibilities sometimes; it is recommended to plant it outdoors to encourage its beautiful red shade and enjoy the gifts of nature. During summer, it is advisable to move the plant to a shaded area or provide shade to prevent sunburn.

Water: This plant, Echeveria 'Red Line Queen,' has genes from E. Agavoides and, therefore, requires less water than other Echeveria succulents. It is recommended to water the plant once a week or every two weeks. If the bottom leaves of the plant feel soft to the touch, it may be a sign that it needs water.

Soil & Planter: To improve the drainage, add around 20-40% perlite and gritty rocks to the potting soil before using it. Grow the succulent in a planter pot slightly wider than the dimension of its rosette. Make sure that the planter pot has a drainage hole at the bottom.

Temperature: Echeveria 'Red Line Queen' thrives in warm and dry environments with temperatures ranging from 50-77℉. Move the plant indoors before the temperature drops to 41℉ as this variety is not a cold hardy succulent.

Fertilizer: Replant the succulent with fresh organic soil every spring, which can provide the essential nutrients for them to thrive. Moreover, feeding them with slow-release fertilizer two or three times in spring can also meet the need.

Propagation:  Leaf propagation is an efficient way to grow more succulents. It is important to take healthy and plump leaves from the mother plant and let the wound callus over before placing them on the soil.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round.
