Echeveria Caroline is a striking Korean hybrid succulent plant, featuring a tight rosette of thick, fleshy leaves, forming a beautiful gradient of green and pink hues. The leaves are tightly packed, forming a symmetrical shape, reaching up to 10cm in diameter. The edges of the leaves are slightly curled, adding an interesting texture to the appearance. When in bloom, the Echeveria Caroline produces a tall stem with delicate pink flowers, enhancing its charm and beauty. This popular plant is a favorite among succulent enthusiasts and can add a unique touch of color and texture to any indoor or outdoor space.
Sun/Location: E. Caroline prefers full sun to partial shade to develop its pronounced shape and color. It is appropriate to grow outdoors to absorb the scattered light for at least 6 hours during the growing period in spring and autumn. Remove E. Caroline indoors to shade in the heatwave and supply artificial light to defend against the severe cold in winter.
Soil/Pot: Add a layer of pebbles and charcoal to encourage good drainage on the well-drained pot. E. Caroline hates soggy soil and requires sitting in the porous and ventilated potting soil with gritty materials such as perlite or pumice, evaporating the moisture smoothly to avoid rot roots. Repot in warm spring to upgrade the growth environment, and trim the roots and wrinkled blades at the bottom to help E. Caroline regenerates healthier.
Watering: E. Caroline requires infrequent watering since it is drought tolerant. Abundant water was stored in the plump and lush leaves, reducing watering demand. Stick your finger in the potting soil to test whether it is bone dry. The soak-and-dry method is generally applied when the potting soil is dry out. The immersive watering method is also recommendable if placed in a ventilated and breathable location. Be careful to water along the edge of the pot to the potting soil instead of the rosette and foliage, preventing waterlogging, bacteria, and fungal diseases.
Humidity: E. Caroline is a desert plant that prefers low-humidity environments. It can tolerate average indoor humidity levels, but high humidity can cause the leaves to become mushy and prone to rot. Ensure adequate air circulation around the plant and avoid overwatering to prevent excess moisture.
Temperature: Echeveria Caroline prefers warm temperatures between 65-75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but keep in mind to protect from frost and extreme heat. If the temperature drops below 50°F, move this cutie to a warmer location to prevent damage.

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
Unfortunately, shipping is not available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. The transit time is too long, and the plants would be dead on arrival.
Due to numerous factors beyond our control, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And, we can no longer guarantee orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico that get delayed by more than 4 in-transit days. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. Thank you for your understanding.
Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
I kind of think that the plant I got isn’t the same as the plant listed. Totally different shape, color, form. And wasn’t packed well
This plant was packed very well and appears very healthy. I'm a repeat customer and am very pleased with the plants that I get from TNG.
Arrived very well packed. Appears healthy and striving. I'm satisfied.
This plant arrived very well packed. It looks healthy and so far is thriving. This is my second purchase and so far I am very pleased.
