  •   Echeveria 'Taco' is a rare drought tolerant succulent belonging to the beloved Echeveria genus, prized by collectors for its distinctive taco-shaped leaves. This easy care succulent originates from the arid regions of Mexico, where Echeveria species have evolved incredible water-storing abilities.

      The Echeveria 'Taco' forms a compact rosette with thick, fleshy leaves that curve dramatically upward, creating the signature taco shape that gives this succulent its charming name. Each green succulent leaf displays a silvery-blue hue with subtle pink edges that intensify in bright light. The rosette succulent typically reaches 4-6 inches across, making it perfect for small spaces and succulent arrangements.

      Echeveria 'Taco' produces tall flower spikes with bell-shaped orange to coral blooms during spring and summer months. The plant releases oxygen at night, making it an excellent bedroom companion, and produces pollen that may affect sensitive individuals. This pet safe plant shows clear signs when thirsty by slightly wilting its distinctive leaves.

      This low maintenance houseplant thrives indoors year-round and can move outside for summer enjoyment, though it needs cover from rain to prevent root rot. Echeveria 'Taco' tolerates dry heated air better than most houseplants but remains sensitive to direct AC or heater airflow. The compact rosette plant requires rotating for even growth and makes an outstanding succulent gift for both beginners and experienced collectors.

  •   Echeveria 'Taco' thrives in bright indirect light or partial sun but scorches in intense south-facing windows.

      Water Echeveria 'Taco' deeply every 10-14 days during growing season, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings.

      Echeveria 'Taco' requires well-draining cactus and succulent potting mix with added perlite for optimal drainage.

      Echeveria 'Taco' prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and is not frost tolerant below 32°F (0°C).

      Echeveria 'Taco' grows slowly and needs diluted succulent fertilizer only 2-3 times during spring and summer.

      Echeveria 'Taco' thrives in USDA hardiness zones 9-11 and cannot tolerate frost below 32°F (0°C). These zones include warm-climate states like Florida, Hawaii, California, Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, southern Georgia, coastal South Carolina, southern Alabama, southern Mississippi, southern Nevada, and coastal areas of Oregon and Washington. In cooler states like North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, and northern regions, Echeveria 'Taco' must be grown as a houseplant or moved indoors during winter months.

    🌵 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.
