Echeveria 'Doraemon'

-About Echeveria' Doraemon-

Echeveria 'Doraemon' is a stunning succulent plant that belongs to the family Crassulaceae and the genus Echeveria. Its leaves are arranged in a rosette formation and are a striking blue-gray with pink edges. The leaves are thick and fleshy, giving the plant a plump appearance. Once Echeveria' Doraemon blooms, it grows a tall stalk with clusters of small, bell-shaped pink flowers in spring and summer. This cutie has a waxy texture and can take on different hues when E. 'Doraemon' is happily stressed. Echeveria 'Doraemon' is a popular and highly sought-after succulent due to its unique and eye-catching appearance.

-How to care for Echeveria' Doraemon-

Sun/Location: E. 'Doraemon', like most Echeveria succulents, prefers full sun in the morning and light shade sun exposure the rest of the day in spring and autumn. Provide shade with a sheer curtain to keep from the scorching heatwave in summer. Wrap cute baby succulents with horticultural fleece or a hessian blanket to keep frost in harsh winter.

Soil/Pot: E. 'Doraemon' prefers well-draining soil in a planter pot with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape, evaporating moisture smoothly. Blend sandy coarse, perlite, or pumice into the potting soil to make E. 'Doraemon' thrive. This mixture provides adequate drainage and prevents waterlogging, leading to root rot. E. 'Doraemon' should be repotted every 2-3 years or when it has outgrown its current container. Repot in the spring or summer when the plant is actively growing. Prune any damaged or rotten roots to encourage new, healthy growth during repot.

Watering: Echeveria 'Doraemon' should be watered sparingly, as it is a drought-tolerant succulent that can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Water Echeveria 'Doraemon' in the morning, as this allows any excess moisture to evaporate before cooler temperatures set in at night. Avoid watering the plant at night, as this can leave the plant sitting in damp soil overnight, increasing the risk of fungal infections and other issues. Water sparingly using the "soak and dry" method and avoiding getting water on the leaves or in the center rosette can help ensure the plant stays healthy and thrives.

Humidity: Echeveria 'Doraemon' does not require high humidity levels and is prone to rot negatively in overly humid environments. Provide adequate airflow and avoid high moisture to ensure the live succulent plant stays healthy and thrives.

Pest Control: Early detection is crucial to stop pests spreading and causing devastating damage to the plant. Use a gentle stream of water to rinsh away any visible pests or webbing from the plant. Spraying insecticidal soap or neem oil could also effectively control pest populations.

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.

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!!!
