Echeveria 'Dark Ice'
Echeveria 'Dark Ice' is a compact rosette succulent with spoon-shaped leaves. The greyish-blue leaves can turn reddish and deep purple when stressed, which is very charming.
How to care for Echeveria 'Dark Ice'
Sun/Location: Echeveria 'Dark Ice' is easy to care for like most succulents; it requires indirect bright sunlight to maintain the color and shape form and can grow up nicely by a window that has access to sunlight. It can be placed outdoors in spring and fall to get full sunlight. Shade is required in summer to avoid sunburn. In winter, protection from frost is needed.
Soil/Pot: Succulents need a porous, well-draining cactus soil mix to thrive to maintain their health. Simply combine cactus soil with pumice, perlite, or grit rocks to offer the proper drainage for succulent plants.
Watering: Be careful with the watering frequency, succulent dislike being in moist soil all the time. You can use the “Soak and Dry” Method for watering succulents. Just water them when the soil has completely dried out, and you should keep water from making the leaves succulent as much as possible.

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.

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.
