0 Comments

 

We introduce our October Succulents Subscription Box featuring 4 types of gorgeous succulents: Echeveria Golden Glow, Echeveria Blue Fairy, Anacampseros Telephiastrum and Haworthia Window Plant.

 

Echeveria Golden Glow 


  

 Echeveria Golden Glow - This clump-forming succulent stays under a foot tall with 6 to 10 inch wide rosettes of broad pale green to yellow-green spoon-like leaves that can blush pink along the margin in summer when grown in sun.

 All of the plants will be shipped bare root

 Full sun. Perfect for a sunny window.

 Only needs occasional water.

 A well-drained succulent mix.

 Feed with a controlled-release fertilizer at the beginning of the season.

 Generally non-toxic to humans and animals

 

Echeveria Blue Fairy


   

 The lovely Echeveria Blue Fairy is one of best selling succulents, and with good reason. This rosette has blue green foliage, and sometimes the pointed tips have a reddish color.

 Loves bright light, produces offsets randomly for new plants, and has these wonderful blooms with colorful flowers. The blooms can get up to 8 inches long.

 All of the plants will be shipped bare root.

 Make sure the soil is moist at all times during the spring and summer months.

 Water when soil is dry to the touch, which is approximately every 7 - 10 days. Avoid water it daily. Water them more in spring and summer and less in winter, and it’s better to underwater them than overwater them.

 Feed once with a weak fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season (Spring or Summer).

 You can propagate Echeveria 'Blue Fairy' by seeds, leaf cuttings or offsets.

 

Anacampseros Telephiastrum


  

 Anacampseros Telephiastrum is a dense mat and caudex forming succulent up to inches (15 cm) tall, with lanceolate shaped green, bright pink and yellow or cream colored leaves.

 They can be grown compact as rosettes, but with time they start go grow longer and longer and offsetting to create a dense mat or trail over the edge of pots. With age they also can form a small caudex as the base of the plant, but because of how very slow growing they are this takes a very long amount of time.

 Flowers are pink and up to 1.4 inches (3.5 cm) in diameter and appear in afternoon in summer.

 All of the plants will be shipped bare root

  Anacampseros grow well in partial sun with bright light enhancing the leaf colors and keeping them compact.

 They require a gritty free-draining soil with added organic material and low to moderate watering. The beautiful caudiciform species are prone to rot and should be watered very sparingly.

  Feed with a high potassium fertilizer in summer during the growing season diluted to one-fourth potency and mix into the watering can for application. Anacampseros is an excellent plant for container growing. It always looks good and stays small. It look fine in a cold greenhouse and frame. It do well outdoors in raised beds and terraces as well.

 

Haworthia Window

  

 

 Haworthia cymbiformis, also known as Cathedral Window Haworthia or Window Haworthia, is a drought-tolerant evergreen succulent with rosettes up to 3 inches (8 cm) tall and 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.

 Its pale green leaves are fleshy, bulbous, and tender with dark stripes running across the length of each leaf and turning translucent at the tip.

 This species has flowers that are white or light pink with brown-green veins growing from 8 inches (20 cm) tall inflorescence.

 Window Haworthia is a popular houseplant because it is super easy to grow and low maintenance. Whether you grow it indoors or outdoors, the growing conditions for this plant remain the same.

 All of the plants will be shipped bare root.

Mealybugs are common pests that can rapidly multiply and weaken plants by feeding on their sap, causing yellowing, wilting, and even plant death if left untreated. These soft-bodied insects are challenging to eradicate due to their protective wax coating, hidden locations in plant crevices, rapid reproduction, and mutualistic relationship with ants. Effective control methods include physical removal, natural remedies like neem oil, chemical treatments, predatory insects, traps, beneficial fungi, and diatomaceous earth. Regular inspection, isolation of new plants, soil replacement, and eco-friendly treatments are key to preventing and managing mealybug infestations.
