  •   Echeveria 'Big Red' is a stunning drought tolerant succulent cultivar that belongs to the Crassulaceae family. This rosette succulent originates from the mountainous regions of Mexico, where echeverias naturally grow in rocky, well-draining soils.

      This big red succulent forms perfect rosettes of thick, fleshy leaves that display gorgeous red and burgundy coloration along the edges. Echeveria 'Big Red' features paddle-shaped leaves with a powdery coating that intensifies the dramatic red hues, especially when grown in bright light. The rosettes can reach 6-8 inches across, creating an eye-catching display with their symmetrical growth pattern and vibrant coloring.

      Echeveria 'Big Red' produces tall flower stalks with bell-shaped blooms in coral-pink to orange tones during late spring and summer. The flowers emerge on arching stems that extend well above the rosette, creating a beautiful contrast against the red-tinted foliage. This air purifying plant also releases oxygen at night, making it an excellent bedroom companion.

      This beginner friendly succulent thrives both indoors and outdoors, making it perfect for collectors and novice gardeners alike. Echeveria 'Big Red' can move outside for summer growing and tolerates dry heated air indoors during winter months. This pet safe succulent needs cover from rain when grown outdoors and benefits from regular rotation for even growth development.

  •   Echeveria 'Big Red' thrives in bright indirect light and direct sun but scorches in intense south-facing windows.

      Water Echeveria 'Big Red' deeply every 7-10 days during growing season, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings.

      Echeveria 'Big Red' requires well-draining succulent soil mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.

      Echeveria 'Big Red' prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and cannot tolerate frost below 32°F (0°C).

      Echeveria 'Big Red' grows slowly and requires minimal fertilizer, just diluted succulent food monthly during spring and summer.

      Echeveria 'Big Red' thrives in USDA hardiness zones 9-11 and cannot survive frost temperatures below 32°F (0°C). This red echeveria grows successfully outdoors year-round in Florida, Hawaii, southern California, southern Texas, southern Arizona, southern Nevada, coastal Oregon, Louisiana, southern Alabama, southern Mississippi, coastal South Carolina, and coastal Georgia.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
