About Echeveria 'Gold Quartz'
Get ready to be wowed by the stunning Echeveria 'Gold Quartz'! This beauty boasts plump, short, cone-shaped leaves with a smooth surface and a mesmerizing white-to-green color. When thriving, its foliage transforms into a gorgeous yellow hue with delicate pink edges and tiny blood spots. The leaves are neatly arranged in a rosette, creating a texture reminiscent of quartz crystals.
How to care for Echeveria 'Gold Quartz'
Sun: Echeveria 'Gold Quartz' thrives when it receives 4-6 hours of vibrant, direct, or indirect light during spring, fall, and winter. It's versatile and can be placed outdoors in full sun or indoors to warm the sunshine. The advantage of Echeveria 'Gold Quartz' is that it is not easy to grow leggy, so you can choose this succulent if you need more space outdoors. However, it must be shielded from the intense midday and afternoon sun in summer to prevent leaf sunburn. This succulent may lose its golden hue in low light conditions, and growth may be stunted. But when placed in a well-lit environment during fall, it's more likely to display its stunning golden coloration.
Temperature: Echeveria 'Gold Quartz' prefers temperatures between 60-80° F. In the summer, temperatures above 30° F must be shaded and ventilated to regulate the temperature. The succulent will go dormant if the temperature is too high, so water control is needed. In the winter, when temperatures are close to 30° F, protect the plant from the cold and move it indoors if necessary.
Soil: Echeveria 'Gold Quartz' can be grown in a loose and airy medium, such as peat/coconut coir and granular soil, with a higher percentage of granular soil.
Watering: Echeveria is drought tolerant. Use the soak and dry watering method to water the plant. Be careful to prevent stagnant water after watering, as stagnant water and lack of ventilation can cause fungal and bacterial infections that can affect the health of the succulent.
Pot: Succulent pots with drainage holes are the best choice for Echeveria 'Gold Quartz.' Also, choose wider pots as Echeveria 'Gold Quartz' will grow in clusters and form multiple heads.
Propagation: Echeveria 'Gold Quartz' will cluster to form multiple heads. When there is an offset, it can be propagated by offsets. After Echeveria 'Gold Quartz' has developed and grown offsets, you can reproduce them. Use a sterilized sharp knife to separate the succulent from the root system into several small plants. Place the Echeveria 'Gold Quartz' in a well-ventilated area to allow the wounds to dry. The scars will heal in 2-3 days, and you can apply some cinnamon. Place the leaves in dry soil in bright light, and use a spray bottle to moisten the soil. After rooting, you can water normally.

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

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.
