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.

We pack all shipments by hand.
We have many years of experience shipping live succulents and cactus plants. We pay close attention to packing and have developed an expert shipping method. All succulents are packed and protected with polypropylene cotton (this is a stuffing used for dolls). We find this is the most effective material for protecting live plants while in transit. It is important to us that you are able to Keep going and Keep growing without any stress about the quality of the product or packaging.
Shipping Speed
In general, it takes 3 to 10 days for plants to arrive after you place your order. All orders will be shipped out 48 hours after you place them. We ship the orders on work days(from Monday to Saturday) and all year round. In normal conditions, it will take 3-10 days for you to receive the package. Estimated shipping times are offered as needed.
HOLIDAYS: During weeks in which a holiday occurs - Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, etc. - shipping may be delayed until the following week.
EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: The Next Gardener reserves the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold. This is to ensure your plant does not suffer while it is in transit.
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.
Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
