Echeveria Japanese Pink Cherry

About the Echeveria Japanese Pink Cherry

The Echeveria Japanese Pink Cherry is akin to a peach-flavored jelly. With its chubby leaves and spoon-shaped profile, this succulent features inward-curling leaf tips. In summer, it boasts a verdant hue, while in spring and autumn, the outer leaves gradually transition to shades of pink, complemented by a powdery coating of farina, resulting in a delightful gradient from pink to pale green. Under optimal conditions, a sugar heart may develop at the center of the leaves. Blooming occurs in late spring to summer, yielding charming pink bell-shaped flowers.

How to Care for Echeveria Japanese Pink Cherry

Sunlight: Echeveria Japanese Pink Cherry thrives in ample sunlight; inadequate light can lead to green coloration and etiolation. Ideal lighting includes direct outdoor sunlight and 8-10 hours of indirect light near windows. Shield from intense midday to afternoon sunlight outdoors, and consider supplemental grow lights if indoor lighting is insufficient to maintain the succulent's form.

Temperature: With its thick farina coating, Echeveria Japanese Pink Cherry tolerates temperatures ranging from 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F), but it prefers cooler temperatures, ideally between 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Temperature dips to 5-10°C (41°F to 50°F) may encourage sugar heart formation. As a soft succulent, it's sensitive to cold; bring indoors during winter to prevent frost damage.

Watering: Upon receiving Echeveria Japanese Pink Cherry or repotting, lightly water with 2-3 rounds, then transition to a "soak and dry" method after a week. Allow the potting soil to dry completely between waterings to strengthen root systems and prevent overwatering.

Soil and Pot: Plant Echeveria Japanese Pink Cherry in well-draining soil like THE NEXT GARDENER Professional Succulent Potting Mix. As it matures to a 4-inch size, incorporate 70% gritty soil mix into the potting soil. Opt for a charming ceramic pot with drainage holes to ensure proper drainage.

Propagation: Its plump leaves are ideal for propagation. Gently remove lower leaves, ensuring the growth point remains intact. Place leaves on soil or tissue until roots develop, then lightly mist with water. After approximately 15-20 days, baby plants will emerge, ready for transplantation when they reach about 1cm in size.

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.
