-About Echeveria Cuspidate 'Menchaca'-
Echeveria Cuspidate 'Menchaca' is a stunning and rare succulent that resembles a cute little girl. The plant is known for its delicate pink leaves, which are covered with a white farina, and its red leaf tips. The small pink flowers bloom in spring and summer, making it an attractive addition to any collection.
-How to care for Echeveria Cuspidate 'Menchaca'-
Sun/Location: The Echeveria Cuspidate 'Menchaca' thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and can handle some partial shade. However, during the summer, it is crucial to avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause sunburn on its delicate leaves. The indoor succulent should be protected from frost during the winter months.
Soil/Pot: To prevent root rot, Echeveria Cuspidate 'Menchaca' requires well-draining soil. A cactus soil mix is an ideal option, and the planter pot should have enough drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. Repotting the plant every 2-3 years can refresh the soil and support healthy growth.
Watering: Echeveria Cuspidate 'Menchaca' is drought-tolerant, so it is only necessary to water it when the soil is completely dry. Over-watering can lead to root rot, so it is best to use the 'soak and dry' method of watering. This involves thoroughly watering the plant until water runs out of the bottom of the pot, and then allowing the soil to dry completely before watering again.

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.

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.
