Echeveria Big Red

About Echeveria Big Red

The 'big' of Echeveria Big Red is mainly reflected in the size of the leaves, which will grow large and curl inward, like a blooming rosette. The color of Big Red changes with sunlight, and its leaves take on an overall rose-red color during the season of sufficient light.

How to care for Echeveria Big Red

Sun/Location: Succulents need lots of sunlight to keep their color and shape. Let them fully feel morning sunlight for about 4-6 hours during the succulent growing season, which is spring and fall. In summer, put it windowsill or outdoors with some shade; it can endure the heat and dry weather, but in winter, especially in cold weather, move the succulent indoors to prevent freeze damage.

Soil/Pot: Repotted them using the cactus soil mix and planter with a drainage hole to provide succulents healthy breathing. Adding grit, rocks, and pebbles to the soil is necessary to help excess water drain quickly. Topdressing will prevent soil from splashing when watering.

Watering: The essential tip of succulent care is when and how to water: Only water your succulents when the soil is completely dry in the evening or late afternoon. Adjust the watering frequency according to the temperature change, and do not water the succulents in hot and humid weather. Click here to learn how to care the Echeveria succulent plants.

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.
