How to care for Echeveria 'Irish Mint'

Sun/Temperature: Echeveria 'Irish Mint' loves sunlight and thrives with plenty of direct sunlight. It's best placed on an outdoor balcony or garden. However, during hot summers, it should be moved indoors. It thrives in warm, arid climates, with an optimal temperature range between 60°F and 80°F. While it can withstand slightly cooler temperatures in winter, it should not be exposed to anything below 30°F.

Soil/Watering: Choose well-draining sandy soil or specialized succulent soil. Adding some perlite or pumice can enhance drainage. After potting, you can spread some pebbles or river sand on the soil surface for a neater appearance. During the growing season, maintain soil moisture at a moderate level, avoiding saturation. Let the soil dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency in winter.

Pot: Select a well-draining pot with drainage holes.

Diseases and Pests: Common issues include root rot due to overwatering and pests. If the leaves become soft or discolored, consider reducing the watering frequency. For pests, you can wipe the leaves with a cotton swab dipped in soapy water.

Propagation: Echeveria 'Irish Mint' can be propagated by the beheading method. The process involves removing the top portion of the plant, typically consisting of several layers of leaves, and allowing the wound to dry before initiating propagation.

Fertilization: During the spring and summer seasons, apply diluted succulent fertilizer once a month. Choose a fertilizer with low nitrogen and higher phosphorus and potassium content to promote leaf and flower growth.

Winter shipping

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

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.

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories.
