-About Echeveria Afterglow-
Echeveria Afterglow is a gorgeous, unique, popular succulent that is in beautiful Echeveria succulent. It has huge leaves, a rare blue-green, with wavy leaves dotted with marble spots and pink edges. Looks stunning. It can reach 12 to 16 inches when mature size.
-How to care for Echeveria Afterglow-
Sun/Location: E.Afterglow, like most Echeveria, needs just the right amount of light to stay happy. Full sun is acceptable, but be mindful that it should be provided with shade in summer or when the sun is fierce. They will thrive in areas with direct but not too much sun. It can also be placed indoors on the balcony or by the window to receive sunlight. Spring and autumn are growing seasons.
Soil/Pot: Echeveria Afterglow is tolerant of various soils. Still, they do best in a soil mix for cacti and succulents or a potting mix for houseplants. At the same time, keep the soil well-drained. Adding 50%-75% perlite, pumice, or coarse sand is recommended. Note that when dead leaves appear, please clean up as soon as possible, or it will affect the growth of the entire plant.
Watering: E.Afterglow does not require frequent watering, just water in moderation when the soil dries out. Try to keep watering in the soil, not on the leaves or the core. Sometimes you water them, and the leaves dry out and turn brown. This happens because they don't get enough water to grow. So pay attention to avoid overwatering.

Winter shipping
We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.
Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.
Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories
Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.
