-How to care for Echeveria Blue Curls-
Sun/Location: Like most Echeveria succulent types, Echeveria Blue Curls' need for sunlight is typical. Full to partial light can meet the growing needs of the succulent variety. Grow the succulent outdoors in spring and fall, the color of the succulent will become bright. Maintain indoors in summer and winter to prevent sunburn and frost
Soil/Pot: Soft succulents need great drainage soil to prevent rot. The cactus soil mix is ideal. Choose a planter pot with drainage holes for your succulents. Add coarse sand or gritty and perlite to the potting soil, click here to get the succulent soil recipe.
Watering: Water thoroughly rather than frequently, when you water Echeveria Blue Curls, be careful not to let the water stay in the leaves especially in summer when it can easily cause rotting. Likewise, watering should be reduced in winter.

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